It's really not that great either. Yes, I did pre-order this graphic novel, and yes, I am a fan of the Outlander series.I prompt you, however, not to read the bad reviews (despite the fact that there are many) until you read this review.As someone who has a great appreciation of literature and art as well, I own a vast array of novels and graphic novels. I won't consider myself an expert by any means, but I think I have a decent working knowledge of where the two differ. I agree with most reviewers that this might be blasphemy for hardcore Gabaldon fans. I am not a hardcore fan, and I decided to take Diana's endeavor with a grain of salt. She was certainly trying something new and regardless of what it was, fans were going to buy it (and they still will, more than likely).To be honest, most of what I loved as a reader about Outlander got lost in the translation from novel to graphic novel. Unlike some, however, I feel that this was not because of the artist, but because of Diana Gabaldon's writing style: she writes in first person. It makes it a little difficult to translate that to graphic form, especially when you are taking it from someone that is outside of the relationship that is the core of her series. I felt that this was the main problem. Had the story been told from Jamie's point of view and not Murtagh's...well, I'm not saying that would have made it leaps and bounds better, but it might have helped a little.That being said, I enjoyed the graphic novel a lot. It was light, not too heavy, did have a lot of nudity, which knowing the Gabaldon, should come as no surprise to readers. I thought the art was gorgeous; the illustrator really did a great job. I personally enjoyed the rough edge that the pictures had to them. It was not clean or polished with hard lines. It was light, airy and it went really well with the story. The art was the best part for me personally.Do I think this was a waste of time? No. I spent a good two hours blowing through it on Tuesday night when I could have been writing a paper and I think it was worth it. I enjoyed myself and it was fun. Not earth shattering, but just fun. I think that this will be fun for you as a fan and as a reader if you allow it to be. I suggest you try not to get caught up in what your expectations of Gabaldon are, because she is not going to live up to them with this graphic novel. This is not her new 800-page novel. This is a 200-300 page graphic novel with no sweeping hills or grand descriptions of scenery or anything else.Take it for what it actually is and not what you were wanting it to be. You will be a lot happier with the results if you just let it happen and try to have fun with it.Would I recommend this? Sure! I already have. My mother and my older sister, and probably my aunt will all read it while on vacation in Key West. I told them it would be great to read for the plane or while sitting in the airport.I hope that is review helps you make the decision whether or not to purchase. I think if you are looking for a Gabaldon novel, stay away from this. You will probably be disappointed and displeased with the artist's depictions of Jamie and Claire. If you want a fun, light, easy read that give you some insight to the other characters, then buy it. Like I said, not great, but I am happy that my money went to something I enjoyed and that others will enjoy as well.I hope, I'll repost and let you know if everyone in my family hated it (I doubt they will).UPDATE:I'm surprised to be the top review! My older sister read this, and she, like many of you, weren't fans! She said that she put it down halfway through. I still have the book on my shelf and enjoy it from time to time.
I love Gabaldon’s work generally speaking and this isn’t an indictment of her writing but moreover the choppiness of the story in this particular graphic novel. There was too much story to fit into one small GN, especially from Jamie’s point of view. It was like shoving an adult sized hog into human baby clothing.The art didn’t really fit the story and so many of the characters looked alike artistically so it was hard to tell who was who (even for a fan). The art was good stylistically speaking but not a “right fit†for this type of story.You HAVE to read the first book to really understand what’s going on in this - I wouldn’t start with this as an introduction into the Outlander world, as it were. I would recommend maybe getting this if you want a quick Outlander fix in between episodes and you have nothing else to do.Not horrible but didn’t knock my socks off. Highest respect for the author but this felt too forced.
I'm not very familiar with graphic novels and the comics I've seen never impressed me much (the simplistic graphics). That being said I thought the soft watercolor-like images for "The Exile" were quite beautiful. The scenic images were gorgeous, but to nitpick, the men's faces (besides Jamie with his red hair) are difficult to distinguish from each other. The story was challenging to follow when I couldn't tell Murtagh from Kenneth or Dougal, three major characters that should have been more distinctive. I know that everyone has their personal opinion of what Jamie and Claire look like. Jamie as pictured is not far off from what I imagined but Claire is doll-faced when she should have a more singular and mature appearance. She is also often drawn overly buxom for a woman coming from a post World War II England where food rationing was rampant. Perhaps Ms. Gabaldon's publishers are looking for a new teenage male demographic (big wink).The dialogue was less satisfying. I know that the editing and condensing of material that is necessary for the constraints of this format must be rigorous and difficult job for Ms. Gabaldon who is accustomed to the voluminous format of her novels. The graphics do a good job of replacing the de:/scriptive narrative which are a large part of her novels but they can't supply character description or development which are the main reasons I enjoy this writer's work. Claire's character is minimized and I thought that she might never have much to say beyond her patented "Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ".When I bought this novel I was looking forward to "a fresh look at the events of the original Outlander: Jamie Fraser's side of the story" as the book description on Amazon promised. I personally didn't think that this novel provided much more of Jamie's point of view than the original book did. This is likely the main reason I felt disappointment after reading "The Exile". I'm not sure if this graphic novel could stand alone without reading "Outlander" first; I couldn't have followed it but perhaps someone more accustomed to this format will have better luck.
When I first purchased this book, it was the first graphic novel I had seen. Honestly, I was not impressed and didn’t even read it. At that time, I considered it very juvenile, and simplistic.Now here I am, years later, taking another look at it. I’ve just finished it and will admit to an appreciation of the wit & humor it contains. The years have brought us the Starz series of Outlander and that adaptation of the novels. So, my perspective has changed, and my opinion has as well.While my first love is the series of “Big Booksâ€, I enjoy all of Diana’s writings, this one included.Try it, you might just find that you like it, also!
