A fun romp, especially if you’ve seen the show. Don’t expect deep mystery or heavy emotions and you’ll likely be satisfied with this. First-person narrative isn’t usually my bag, but it worked, and made some of the cringier and uncomfortable terminology or biases showing through a little easier to accept, since it was filtered through a character’s mind. Perhaps this was intentional, perhaps it was happy accident - it was written in 2001, after all. My biggest beef with it was some of the dynamics between Sookie and Jason - siblings just don’t call each other “bro” and “sis” where I’m from. Maybe it’s different in the South!

I already knew I loved this series as a show. I was pleasantly surprised to fine the show was very true to the book aside from being set a few years later. (With one Elvis shaped exception)  I really enjoyed the tone and pace and the author’s style. I actually listened to this on audiobook and the reader was fab.   

Not precisely a spoiler, but I was a little surprised Tara isn’t in it at all. I’m hoping she will be in the next book in the series.

I was hoping the book might be better than the TV show, but it was far worst in almost every category.
