Reading Sookie Stackhouse
So I just read Dead Until Dark, the first Sookie Stackhouse book. You know, the series that the HBO series True Blood is based off of.
I was... underwhelmed. It's taken me over a year to read that book, and every time, I barely got past the first hundred pages. Honestly, after finally finishing it, I am not all that interested in reading the other books. It was very unfocused, Sookie was borderline unlikable, and it felt like Charlaine Harris was trying to put too much in one book.
If you like the series, I would say the book is worth a check out from the library (if only for Bubba. I was so amused about who Bubba was), but I wouldn't spend any money on it until you're certain you want to read more.
