After Dead: What Came Next in the World of Sookie Stackhouse by Charlaine Harris

1.0

If I could give her negative stars I would! Like her last few books in this series, Charlene Harris, has proved she is has gotten lazy and honestly just doesn't give one single F' about producing a good read. It's obviously only about making money on book sales. If her book is only good for kindling a fire it seriously does not matters to her as long as they are cutting her a check. I was NOT expecting that to change with this last book but, I had hopes she would pull herself together and tie it all off in a decent fashion. I must be a glutton for punishment because, I tend to like to see a series to the bitter end. Oh how bitter it was! It straight up sucked! If I could give you one solid piece of advise it would be: DO NOT READ THIS BOOK! Let your imagination be your guild! I can promise you, what you can produce in your imagination is far better than what she will give you. It was a complete and utter FAIL! She has me wishing I could rewind time and unread this awful excuse for a book. What a complete waste of paper (or download). I refused to purchase any more of her books and settled with borrowing it from the e-book library. Had I paid for this book I would have demanded a refund. YES! It was that bad! If you'd like an example off the top of my head (no real spoilers but, you'll get the gist of it).... This person and this person got married, had twins, one child was stupid and the other ended up gay, then they all died. This person and this person had triplets, one child died at a young age and the others married... Then died. This person lived a horrible life, contracted an std, and then died. This person and this person where happy after Dead Ever After, then 3 years later broke up and one of them died while the other remarried. This person had a great life for a couple of years and was happy then a roof fell in on them and they died.... Are you picking up what I'm putting down? You might be thinking, WTF!? You would be right! WTF!!! Let me give you her conclusions in a nutshell... Many married, some didn't, most had children that were either stupid, incompetent, homosexual, or just plain DIED! Some of the characters she mentioned were so insignificant, or played such small roles that no body would care what happened to them, or they were in earlier books that it left you thinking... Umm who the heck was that person!? Most pages consisted of 3 sentences... She ended the lives of star characters when I would have rather pretended they lived forever or at least happily and went peacefully in their old age. Who needs to know how they die? It's pointless and adds nothing to the stories. If anything it ruins the entire series, even the first 5-6 books that I actually liked! Save your time, money, and effort. Read something worth re reading a million times, like Kim Harrison's Rachel Morgan Series! If you need to read this waste because you too are a glutton for punishment then this won't disappoint in that sense, it was painful! Just do yourself a favor and borrow it. Don't waste your money and definitely don't add to her bank account. She doesn't deserve it!
