It was only a matter of time before Diana Gabaldon's best-selling Outlander saga made the leap from book to hit TV series, and the millions of readers captivated by the epic romance of Claire Beauchamp Randall and Jamie Fraser have eagerly followed. Now the must-watch drama has inspired this must-have guide, which reveals that it takes a village (or perhaps a Scottish isle) to bring the breathtaking world of Outlander to life in front of our eyes. Spanning the first two seasons of the Starz network sensation, The Making of Outlander leads listeners behind the scenes and straight into the action as cast members, writers, producers, musicians, costume designers, set decorators, technicians, and more share the many adventures and challenges they face to make this sweeping saga come alive on the screen.

A worthy addition to your Outlander collection

Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2016

I was waiting to see if this book would actually be a companion book or a re-hash of everything social media savvy Outlander fans have seen and heard for a few years now. I was so glad to find out that this is a gloriously luscious book; well written with new tidbits and organized in a great way.
New insights from cast and a lovely forward from Herself adds to the fun of finding out something new-which is what most fans crave. And of course, the photos!
This book is deserving of a spot next to my Outlander Companions on my bookshelf. Well done to all involved.

A wonderful way to survive the long awaited return of Outlander !!!!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2016

I pre-ordered this book and was delighted to come home from a busy day at work to find it waiting for me a few days ago. It is even better than I imagined, and I just ordered one for my sister-in-law who got me started with the Outlander series. I'm now on book 5. The pictures are beautiful, the book is large and filled with more information than expected. This will be a wonderful way to survive the long awaited return of Season 3. I always enjoyed the segments that Ron Moore filmed at the end of each episode.... this is a MEGA version that draws you into the entire filming, cast and process. THANK YOU !

A Sumptuous Feast for Eyes and Heart!

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2016

Verified Purchase

This book is a sumptuous feast for Outlander fans. Tara Bennett has lovingly created a tribute to the filmmakers, actors, and entire crew of this incredible series. Each spread has photos from the filming and sets, fascinating stories, personal comments from producers, writers, directors, cast and crew, and insights into bringing Diana Gabaldon's book series to the screen. And there is so much more—
Diana Gabaldon's Introduction
Origins, In the Writers Room, The Journey from Book to Screen
A Chapter for every episode in Season One and Two!
Production Design and Set Decoration
Theme Song and Titles
Spotlights on 17 major actors and their characters
Costumes Season One and Two, Stunts and Armory
As soon as the book arrived i read the first two sections before even looking through the rest of the book, it just draws you in. As a musician, i found Bear McCreary's description of the music scoring especially fascinating, the many subtleties of which i missed and appreciate so much more now. He shares how the theme song was chosen, how the lyrics were eventually added and sung, adapted for Claire as "the lass that is gone."
The photographs throughout are well chosen to avoid explicit scenes, so you can display this gorgeous hardbound book without concern for who will see it.
The Making of Outlander is a rich tribute to this awesome film series with over 200 pages of great storytelling and images of the captivating story of Jaime and Claire, the worlds they share and try to change for the better. I will be reading it and rereading it!

Kindle version is mediocre.

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2016

It's a fun read, but the Kindle version is like reading a rough draft. Photos are small and don't go with the text. The inset quotes also don't go with the text. It just seems that everything is out of order. Buy the print version if you're looking for a real Outlander experience.

A Great Behind-the-Scenes Look Into Outlander

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2017

Verified Purchase

While impatiently waiting for Season Three to start, I decided to rewatch the first two seasons of Outlander. Having seen them all before, it was delightful to watch each episode with a different eye. This time around, rather than paying attention to the story line, I felt that I could focus more on the scenery, costumes, music, and minor characters, all things that greatly enhance the viewing experience. Having paid better attention to these things, I decided that I would like to know more about what it took to make this incredibly beautiful show. That's when I discovered this book, The Making of Outlander. It is the perfect way to further extend the viewing experience because it gives the backstory to how the television series came to be and details about the making of each episode. I have enjoyed reading the commentaries from all the key players and seeing many pictures from each episode, including some candid, behind the scenes photos of the actors. This book has helped fill the void until the new season begins and given me more of an understanding of what it takes to create this beloved show.

Beautiful book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 14, 2017

Verified Purchase

I love this book. Beautiful pictures and a very comprehensive overview of the first two seasons. Shame there was no 'Spotlight' chapters on Steven Cree or Stephen Walters though. I am also taking one star off because of the few mistakes I spotted. Such as one of the info boxes with a quote by Caitriona Balfe being in the wrong chapter and a few other things as well which I won't bore by mentioning. I'm sure other readers didn't even notice. It is only because I am a bit obsessed and have a touch of OCD. Lol!

Xmas gift for my Mum. She has read this about three times and says there is loads of information about how the series was produced. Lovely paper, good printing. Could only have been improved if Sam Heughan had delivered it himself.

Bonus with Kindle version.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 3, 2022

Verified Purchase

Although the Kindle version has its drawbacks compared to the page layout of the book the bonus is that a double tap on any picture will make it pop out to an a larger version which makes them look great on a large screen tablet … reviewed on my 12 inch 3rd gen iPad pro.

This is fascinating. Knowing more of the work that goes into producing the series makes it even more enjoyable, and helps me to appreciate the incredible talents of all those involved. Interesting information, lots of great illustrations and beautifully presented. I'm very happy with it.

Go on, you know you want to.

If you love the TV series, as I do, then you will love this book. Yes, I agree with some other reviews that more space could have been devoted to the costume/set designs etc. but there is a lot to cover with such a great show and this book does it well. A bit pricey, perhaps, but it will be a book I shall pick up again again so worth the cost. Go on, you know you want to.
