Why did I even think this was a good idea
Absolute garbage
Why ( )

Excellent way to spend a Friday/Saturday! ( )

Books on which Trueblood was based on. I find them very basic reading. I guess it's good if you want a light and fun series of books to read, but there are most definitely other authors that I'd choose over this one. ( )

I rarely think this about a book, but the TV version is better. There is so much MORE going on in True Blood the TV show. They don't kill off Lafayette (not really a spoiler because it happens right in the beginning of the book). They give Jason, Tara, Sam, Callisto, practically every character, more stuff to do. Obviously, an entire season of a TV show has way more space to fill than one mass market paperback, but still. On True Blood they made Godric a much more interesting character (for instance, I'd like to believe that if I lived for a thousand years, I'd be at least a little wiser than a 25-year-old barmaid).

For the first time, I can say that my reading of the book was enriched by watching the story onscreen. I'm not sorry I read it, though. They're pretty fun books and I'll keep reading them. But the show is better.

Also, let me take an official stance here: Bill Compton is kind of boring. Another official stance that I've had since the first book and was only strengthened by this one: Sookie has ridiculous fashion sense. Jeans that lace up the sides with a crop top? OMG, I was taking a ride in the LOLicopter. ( )

I normally don't go for these types of books but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hooked. ( )
