I watched True Blood religiously, but am behind on the second season. Thankfully, my good friend DVR is attempting to get me caught up. I love the show, love the supernatural, especially when there is a bit of a love story mixed in with it.
I had not planned on reading the books that inspired the television series, but my friend J had the entire series, so she loaned all the books to me. I just finished this first book and I was not impressed. I think I enjoyed the television show more, though I was not impressed with the vulgarities they felt that had to include in order to sell the show.
I want to read the second book, simply because I have started the series. I want to know what happens to Sookie and Bill. The funny part is that a lady in a meeting saw me with this book and asked me who my favorite vampire was. I had been introduced only to Bill and Eric at that point, so I didn't know who my favorite might have been. Now that I have finished the book, my favorite is most definitely Bubba.
The book is okay, but I recommend reading it before you watch the first season of True Blood. I hope the next book will be better. I think the author may simply be lacking some maturity. She writes as if she were in a college composition class at times. She lets Sookie describe herself as big breasted with a small waist, without letting someone else talk. Maybe Ms. Harris will get this sorted out as the series progresses. Here's hoping!
