A review by palaeogirl
Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris
2.0
325 pages of not a whole lot. Yes, a couple of major things happen, but on the whole, the book didn't seem to have a driving plot.
I slogged my way through it, and will still read the next one when I get to the top of the waiting list at the library, but it's more because I hate to leave a story unfinished then because I really care about the characters. I'm seriously questioning why every male finds Sookie so attractive, because I'm increasingly finding her less interesting and sympathetic. For someone who is supposed to have this 'essential spark' (which is supposed to make her able to intellectually handle multiple worlds/dimensions), she's getting more and more closed-minded, and unwilling to accept that non-humans have different world-views and motivations than 'good Christians' like herself.
