Description:

Sookie Stackhouse is just a small-time cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana. Until the vampire of her dreams walks into her life-and one of her coworkers checks out....

Maybe having a vampire for a boyfriend isn't such a bright idea.

A fun, fast, funny, and wonderfully intriguing blend of vampire and mystery that's hard to put down, and should not be missed. (Susan Sizemore)

4Good but my least favorite book of series (because they're all so good)  Nov 18, 2009
The plot was good, but it took a while to get into it, unlike the other books, where you can see Charlaine got used to writing the character and took more liberties with language and explicit material. She seemed to take a while to get to the point in her writing, but that is my only complaint. Otherwise, it would have gotten a perfect score.

5Mind Blasting  Nov 16, 2009
I loved this book. I have to say, I started watching the series first. After falling in love with True Blood, I had to check out the books. AND WOW, I am glad I did. The book is so fun to read, with laugh out loud pages all the way through. I think I love the books now more than the show. But the show did a great job matching Actors to the characters in the books. I am now hooked screen and paper.

5Awesome book  Nov 15, 2009
You will want to read the whole series. It is a book series that you will want to read just to see what happens next. You won't be able to put it down.

2I forced myself to finish it...  Nov 14, 2009
I'm still rather surprised at how huge this series has become. Surely it should be an amazing bunch of books to be so beloved. However, I had to force myself to finish this book. I've read the sample several times and never wanted to continue, but I finally decided to give this book a chance.

As a fan of the genre, I asked myself several times why this book (save a few choice pages) wasn't listed under young adult fiction. It just can't compare with other series in this genre. The plot was simple and cliche, the characters immature and flat, and the dialogue cutesy and shallow.

Has the author read any other vampire fiction? I really fail to see why Bill sleeps under a layer of dirt in the cemetery outside his house. Very little was explained, even the things that ask you to suspend what you know as vampire basics.

This book was everything I would have expected of a young adult book, but there is a reason I don't read YA fiction. I was literally falling asleep when I realized the bad guy was about to be revealed and I had to stop and think twice about whether I should shut off for the night or push through and finish up. That's how boring the whole thing was.

1Disabled Text to Speech? Really?  Nov 14, 2009
I guess I am not hip to the new thing that authors are doing by disabling the text to speech feature...
I drive many hours in my car and the only way I can get through most books is with that feature. I will probably never read this book after spending 9.99 on it because I have no intentions now of buying the rest of the series.
Shame on you Charlaine Harris for taking that away from people who really enjoy it.
