To be completely honest, I'm not sure why this was ever published...this could easily have been an add-on to the last in the series! I read this in just under an hour as there are really only a few sentences/paragraphs on each page. I couldn't remember who some of the characters detailed were either!

Mostly Harris takes a paragraph or so to tell us if the characters had children and usually how they died...pretty unnecessary for the most part. I liked reading that Alcide had had a happy life as I feel he was treated pretty poorly in the later books to make room for Sookie's romances with Quinn and Eric.

Overall, I would recommend skipping this one, unless you are DYING to know how Jane Bodehouse died (on the toilet if you MUST know :P). It doesn't add anything to the enjoyment of the series or the characters, and I was quite content with the overall ending of the last in the series. If you MUST read it, borrow it from the library (which I did) - it's not worth $20!!

I loved the wrap up, seeing what happened and who wound up where. It made me want to start the series all over again.

Nice to have as part of the collection. Nice to hear about some of the characters I cared about. Not really sure it needed to be published... surely this kind of thing could just go onto a blog, or fansite...

And a preview of Harris's new series, which I'll probably want to read.

Bittersweet, I must say. My heart is heavy, but some of the entries made me smile. I'm glad to know where the characters ended up, even if for some it wasn't well.

I mean, really?

What the hell is the point? When you've already ruined a series, why make it even worse?

I say this with all due affection, but these are some of the most unhinged fates you could think of. Just a list of characters and what happened to them after the series, one per page.

It's just okay, some points were touching. Just know what your getting into before you start so your hopes will be properly placed.
