I love this series,but they are such quick reads and she writes one like every 12-18 monthes,some of them I finishe din one night so I find it frustrating to have such a big time gap in between to remember who's who ano who I hate and who I dont.

Not the best in the series. Rather slow actually but still a good read.

So I picked up these right after watching the first season of HBO's True Blood. I am always looking for a new vamp series to sink my teeth into while waiting for new installments in my other series. Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse novels aren't my favorite, but they were worth the read.
Bon Temp provides some entertaining scenarios and interesting characters, and the True Blood series has definitely taken some creative directions from the books.
Still, the books are fun and all told from Sookie's POV. The telepathic waitress is a likable heroine and actually I enjoy her character much more through Harris' voice then on the show. Her quirky style of writing is enjoyable and easy reading, but I am still prone to a darker vamp series I think.

I'm on book 6 of 10 and i love it <3 all the characters are great but i hate how the author is always giving you the back story when she introduces a character again.. its annoying for those of us who retain the info to have to read it all over again. I don't know that I like sookie to much, she's kind of dumb.. but everyone else surrounding her is great lol

Read this series many years ago. The writing style isn't the best, by any means, but the books are thoroughly enjoyable, particularly if you're a fan of the TV series True Blood. The show turned away from the books, which is probably why I preferred the first few novels but the rest aren't bad. A little bit raunchy, a lot of drama and very addicting. It's tempting to reread!

I love True Blood. It's a great TV show. But it's completely different from the books it was based on. True Blood is so dark and violent and sexual, and while the books also contain those elements, there is more of a feeling of whimsy and lightheartedness that makes the books so much fun to read. While this isn't classic literature by any means, it's a great summertime read when you're looking for something simple and fun that you don't have to think too much about.

I love the Sookie Stackhouse series and I enjoy the tv show that is based upon them, True Blood.

I read these books fast - 1 a day over the holiday break.
They are a fun relaxing read.
I'm not sure how to rate mysteries in realtion to other fiction.
If I were only rating mysteries. I'd give the series 3 or 4, but lumped in with all fiction I have to go 2.

Decided to work my way through the Sookie Stackhouse series again, and have enjoyed it just as much as the first time I read them. I read the books first, then watched the TV series, which I also loved! I know that people either love or hate this series, I am on the love it side of the fence!
