   Outlander Explorations with a Native Guide
An insight full of. The gaelic section is fully reorganized and is much easier to use as a reference. The chapter on writing alone is worth the price of admission. Those of us who have changed secretly in first drafts our entire lives are exonerated! I appreciate Diana Gabaldon's willingness to share her creative process ''. It gives us all hope. Of course, there is also her sense of humor :

   Wonderful snapshots of her stories!
This is a synopsis of the 5th-8th books of the Outlander series, as well as the Lord John Grey books that Diana Gabaldon has written up to this point in time. It does not give the complete stories, but synopses of each story and short snapshots of the stories themselves. It also gives Herself's thoughts about rape in response to the criticism of readers about this theme in her works. If someone is a true fan of Diana Gabaldon's work, as I am, they will love this book, as it gives a short overview of each story without giving away the meat.

   Outlandish Companion, Vol. II
Difficult to define, as this is a collection of synopsis and essays relating to the last 3 books in the series generally called Outlander. It not only includes the synopsis of A Breath of Snow and Ashes, Echo in the Bone and written in My Own Heart's Blood, there are a list of sources for Diana Gabaldon's research, The Gaelic, The Cookery, herbs, family trees, a list of all characters, and also includes information about the television series based on Book One of the series. Even the writing about the synopsis of the books by Diana Gabaldon is great to read and provides great pleasure. Often I go back to the original companion for information, and I am sure that this volume will also end with numerous post-its, as well. Well worth having your library of books related to the series called Outlander.

   A Good Reference for the Recent Four Books In Outlander Series.
This is the second of two companion volumes that explain the background of the great novels. This covers the second set of four books and gives information about the characters, the historical period and the reasons why the author chose the things she chose to write about. It is an excellent reference book and not something that the reader would be able to appreciate in a sitting, nor even want to.

   A worthy successor to the first volume
It includes a synopsis of each of the later books and includes amplifications, glossary, geographic explanations, and other material important to a great reference book.

In this book Diana writes as if you are in the room with her and having a private in depth conversation. I love her and the whole Outlander series.

   I love the entire series of books
It is a compilation of back stories, history references, etc. In the stories themselves, there is a lot of sex violence. I love the whole series of the books.

   Synopsis
If you were looking for more stories to tell, this isn t it. Due to the price, I feel very ripped off! If I could get my money back only! Right! Outlandish is just right!

   Great guide to the plots, characters, history, television series and everything Outlander.
The opportunity to look over her shoulder as she writes, researches and analyzes her own writing as she considers the actors and directors who bring her characters to life and even as she cooks! And there is so much more. Herbs and herbal healing, how the music came to be for the series and the astonishing world of costuming.
