Chronicle Supposing Books Sookie Stackhouse 7-copy Boxed Set (Sookie Stackhouse #1-7)
This review covers books 1-8. These are a lot of silly fun, and more than a little addictive. They are decently well written (despite some continuity issues) but pretty much what you'd expect from a romance/mystery novel. Sookie's "voice" works better in some books than in others, and some plot threads are more compelling than others. Just when things started to drag a bit, there was a hell of a plot twist, and not one that I'd seen coming. I've enjoyed the whole series, so far, though book 4 is definitely my favorite. I vote no on the Twilight/Southern Vampire Mysteries comparisons. Both series feature a human female who gets mixed up in what Sookie would call "crazy vampire shit," and both have some werewolf action going on, but that's about as deep as the similarities go. They are different kinds of stories, written differently and focusing on different issues. And, while I'm comparing, I'll say that I like Sookie better here in the books than I do on True Blood, the HBO series inspired by the books. I say "inspired by," rather than "based on," because some of the changes are pretty substantial, though not necessarily bad - I like Bill better on the show, for example, and quite like the way Tara and Lafayette were changed/expanded. I love Eric in both versions :) Looking forward to the next one (comes out in May, I believe)...

I fell in love with the show True Blood, during season one, but ended up canceling HBO, to tighten the financial belt. When I heard it was based on a book series, I simply had to read them... The books... well... not very good. They are written like a 14 year old fat girl, who has never actually talked to a real boy, would write fan fiction... she forgets from book to book what she wrote in previous books, and when she refers to "history" of the story she gets it wrong... and she neglected factTook me three months to get through reading at a slow pace. I have the next four (or 5?) books purchased separately, so I will continue on. I'm not generally a long series fan, so it's a credit to these books that they do stay interesting. I've got to admit, the constant fighting is starting to wear thin, though, and I do miss the earlier simpler stories, so it will be interesting to see if my opinion changes on these last few books. Sookie is a really good character and I like it better when
Decided to work my way through the Sookie Stackhouse series again, and have enjoyed it just as much as the first time I read them. I read the books first, then watched the TV series, which I also loved! I know that people either love or hate this series, I am on the love it side of the fence!
As always, the books are better than the tv series. It's hilarious and poor Sookie is always getting herself into trouble.
#1 Dead Until Dark- included a brilliant description of someone we all know, "Denise wasn't truly pretty, but she was so flashy and confident that it took a while to figure that out."It was written a bit too simply to hold my attention. The sex scenes were more Cinemax, not imaginative. And the character Sookie has an interesting talent but is otherwise incredibly dull. I continue the series because my friend said it got better.#2 Living Dead in Dallas- It was a little better. Still the
I originally found out about this book series by watching the HBO Series True Blood ...That said ... The books ARE WAY BETTER! I actually had to stop watching the show because they strayed so far from the well written books.Loved it! The Books are WAY better than the Show True Blood! Each book gets better and better!On to the Next!
I devour these books as they come out every April and then sadly have to wait another year for the next. These books are much better than the show!
