I loved all the Sookie Stackhouse books they are so much better than the HBO show. The show completely went way off track! I dont see the point in messing with something that is already good....I would recommend this series definietly!

I love Sookie Stackhouse books. Can't wait for the next one.

I love both the books and the show. I read the books before watching the show and yes, they do have differences. These are great if you enjoy reading about supernatural beings of all sorts, and the romantic idea of a human ( humans) being in the same world. There is action, drama, romance, mystery, comedy - a little something for everyone. The only problem with the books is that I read through them super fast - can't stop once I start - and then have to wait for the next one!

They are good books that tend to draw me in, and not want to put them down until I have read the entire book.

This is one of my favorite book series ever! I read book after book and couldn't get enough. Sookie and her love triangles were really interesting in the books compared to True Blood. I wish some of the characters in the books like the Weretiger, were in True Blood. I also wish that the Eric and Sookie love story from the books had more of an impact from the show. The only reason I didn't give the series 5 starts was because of the last book/ending. I won't ruin it for anyone but it was extremely disappoint for me and I would think many people. Both overall, such a great great series. Love it!

The book series is amazing...until it got to the last three books where the author clearly gave up! (TV show was terrible after the first season)

I love these books so much. I was so excited before each came out. But the very last book left me alone and disappointed. I feel that Ms. Harris stopped caring about her characters and the world they lived in. I truly was a bit broken hearted as a reader from the beginning, but not because it ended. It was how it ended that really left an emptiness. I know there is a follow up coming out in October and I will give it a chance.

These aren't the best written books (too many Sookie outfit descriptions!) but they are really fun to read, and Harris sure knows how to create sexy male characters.

i think Im the odd one out. I thought the first 4 or 5 books were good, but by the last two the editing has gone down hill. The character development has also been lacking, especially in the last book. I think that it might be time for the series to come to an end. I do love the tv show though!

I have read and like all Charlaine Harris' books including these. She has a wonderful imagination and it comes across in this series.

I have always been a fan of romantic vampire stories. My friend gave me the first book to read and I wasn't sure if I was going to really like it. It is sooo different then what I am used to reading. I am on the 2nd and have to say I am hooked. I really like getting into a series. I am looking forward to seeing how Sookie and Bill's characters progress and how the rest of the cast add to the story.

I have mixed feelings about this series. The first 3-4 books were excellent, and I couldn't put them down. I read them within about a week's time, and I fell in love with the universe. It was entertaining in a sort of kitchy, cheesy sort of way, but it was good. When the series was about halfway through, it started to falter. I found that the stories weren't as well thought out, and the characters weren't as well developed. By the last book, I was barely able to read through the entire thing without giving up. Things wrapped up too abruptly, characters seemed out of character, and the plots were barely mediocre, if that. That said, the series overall is good. I would recommend these to anyone interested in vampire/paranormal romance, and even the more boring books are good enough for a rainy day.

I have read all of them so far. They are very entertaining. Charlaine Harris is a good writer, she keeps your interest. Can't wait for the next one to come out. The series is just like movies based on books they are rarely as good as the book. Five stars for a fun read!
