These books are part comedy, part romance, part mystery, part ridiculous. I've never read anything like it. The entire time I'm reading this I'm thinking How did they think they could make this into a tv show?

I'm kind of obsessed with these books right now. I always heard True Blood wasn't very true to the books but I'm thinking the people who said that must have been extreme fans, because they do seem to follow the plot pretty closely, but with lots of additional sub plots and details that are so fun!

So Tara makes an appearance in this book, albeit a small one. And Lafayette dies. I'm really not sure how HBO took this series of books and turned it into True Blood.
Am I the only one who finds Sookie mildly annoying? For example, she's 25 and she keeps pinning bows in her hair.
So here's the bottom line: the books are pretty dumb, but they're an easy read for when you just want to let your mind go. Like on airplanes, or at the beach, or after a long day at work when you really don't want to think anymore.
