Product 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)
Praise for Charlaine Harris:
Harris writes neatly and with assurance. (New York Times Book Review)
An author of rare talents. (Publishers Weekly)… More >>

Ok I LOVE THE TWILIGHT SERIES ! But this book was just to unclean for me and I am a 25 year old married female and I hate it when people say this book is for adults and Twilight is for teenagers which IS WRONG because I related more to the TWilight series than this one ! The show is awful and distasteful also ! Well that’s just my opinion !

(This review is bitter, but that’s because I’m upset that I wasted my money.)
This book is rediculous and repulsive. It seems to be aimed at the kind of people who watch soap operas, because that’s the only kind of person I could find who would enjoy this kind of ‘novel’. The author doesn’t bother to describe any of the settings, scenery, or personalities in detail – the only thing I knew about the supporting characters by the time I couldn’t read any more was what they looked like and who they had slept with (good to know! /sarcasm).
Same for the main character: She has the ability to read minds, but the only time she talks about it, she’s saying she can’t stand it – and then it goes in depth about how it ruins her sex life. I’m sure there are dozens of ups and downs about being able to read someone’s mind… too bad the author can’t seem to get past a single aspect of it.
Oh, and I guess there was something about a vampire. Unfortunately, it takes more than a ‘unique’ character to make a book interesting.
What a retarded book. I’m not going to wade through pages of soap opera just to get a little murder mystery plot. Amazon.com is being generous by giving the lowest ranking reviews a star, because this book doesn’t deserve one.

This book went directly to Half Price Books after I managed to choke myself through it. A talented writer Charlaine Harris is not. Her style is boring, bland, and repetitious. And her “heroine,” Sookie, is laughably trite, even for a telepath. Is there even a reason she has these powers? Do I care? Why does anyone, when the plot moves at a dirigible’s pace? Just, no. Save yourself a few bucks and pick up a Kim Harrison novel or an older Laurell K. Hamilton. Even Karen Chance. But don’t waste your money on a book that should have been given an “F” in Creative Writing class.

I finished Twilight and was looking for another vampire book… so I read this book and was terribly disappointed. I had to force myself to finish it and was soooooooo bored. I think I will just read “Twilight” again!
