Commentary As 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)...

The first 7 Sookie books vampires, werewolves and fairies oh my you can't ask for moreThese books are addictive and just so much fun! I was able to polish off each book in about 1-2 days, so the last couple weeks have been filled with vampirey goodness. The series reminds me of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in its overly dramatic combination of romance, humor and bloody carnage. I'm sure the new TV show (True Blood) is going to feel similar but I havent seen any episodes yet. The dialog can be a bit, eh, lackluster and scenarios become increasingly outrageous but that makes it all
Love these far-out tales!

Guilty pleasure reading, for sure! The character of Sookie is much sassier and funnier than on the HBO series TrueBlood. I like the Southern Vampire type books...easy, quick, fun reads, especially during the school year when I'm bogged down in Dickens or Sophocles!
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!
my favorite easy read series
