 Sookie Stackhouse March 31, 2010

So much fun to read! I started as a fan of True Blood on HBO, found the books, and it kind of went from there. Keeps my attention, totally different than anything else I've ever read and just fun all around.

The Sookie Stackhouse books are absolutely addictive. They are the grown-up version of the twilight series, there are a few steamy scenes in the novels, so stay away if that's not your cup of tea. Nothing deeper than your ankles about the books, just good ol' guilty pleasure.
Great fun and worth buying the set! January 13, 2010

This set is a very good read for any True Blood fan or just a reader looking to escape into the fun world that Charlene Harris has created. The Sookie Stackhouse books are a great spin on the traditional vampire themed genre. The premise for the series is that vampires have outed themselves to the world at large and are trying to integrate within the larger society thanks to the invention of a synthetic blood drink called True Blood. The series focuses on a small town in Louisiana and how one residence there (Sookie Stackhouse) gets drawn into this new world while still dealing with everyday issues. The biggest compliment I can give Charlene Harris is that even though she continues to write many books in this series the stories have not become repetitive and she continues to expand the world in which these stories are set by building upon the social fabric and well introduced new characters. These are a fun read and highly recommended. Two points I would add;
1. If you can commit to reading the series, although each book is a self-contained story I think the story is not as rich without the back stories.
2. Again my biggest compliment is usually in this genre after the first book or two the confines of the world are established and then each book is usually formulaic.. .with main characters.. Introduce new characters, some big event, main characters work through event, new characters die or are sacrificed for plotline. Charlene Harris ignores this and has a rich universe of well developed characters that are central and peripheral to many books within the series.
Time well spent!

I fully enjoyed the series and have read the following two after this book set too. I read it and then re-read it again.

I read the sookie stackhouse book set and watched the 2 seasons of true blood and loved them both.I cant wait for the season 3 of true blood to come on television and for the next sookie stackhouse book to be released.
