Wow. I adore the TV show True Blood but somehow, never got around to reading this.
What was I waiting for?!
Devoured it in three days. Housework? Kids? what are those and who cares?! I just could not put this one down. It is different enough from the TV show that I didn't feel as though anything was spoiled. Sookie, as a character, is much funnier in print than on the small screen. I just love her internal dialogue, and her relationship with Bill is sweet and scary and breathtakingly hot without b ...more

I picked this book because I have heard it mentioned so many times in almost all the paranormal groups I’ve been a part of. Furthermore, after the release of the HBO True Blood series, the talk got more incessant, that I finally have to satisfy my curiosity and pick the book.
I actually ended with an audio book, pleasantly narrated by Johanna Parker, I was immediately captivated by the chatter of Sookie’s mind. A bar waitress with a psychic “disability” of reading other people’s thoughts, she was ...more

I love the series True Blood and on my sister's urging, I tried this one out. It follows (loosely) the plot of the first season and was a pretty good read.
My understanding is that the following books diverge even more. It was a quick and fun read. Nothing deep, but excellent brain candy. ...more

4.5 stars - I love this series! Mrs. Harris delivers a refreshing blend of the paranormal world and real life, without playing too much in the dark. The main character is sweet and innocent and it is very interesting to see how her dealings with the vampire world change her. Some people might think Sookie a little dim, but I think she is a pretty accurate representation of a down-home Southern girl and that throughout the series she proves herself to be a strong woman who lives her life (and wit

It's the story about the "gifted" waitress Sookie that befriends a Vampire, in a world where vampires are acknowledged legally and are living among humans trying to "mainstream" that is to blend in with them.
She encounters some adventures, some deaths and a lot of fun..
It was a fast fun read that put a smile on my face, well actually made me grin like an idiot in a room fun of people.. I loved it and will be continuing the series as soon as I can. ...more

I'd forgotten Bill has an endearing side! This first Southern Vampire Mystery is filled with intriguing characters whose voices you can hear echoing through your head. A well-paced mystery and a smattering of humor make this a nicely rounded book and a great series introduction.
