Title: Awful book/Great HBO series
Review: Save yourself some time and rent the "True Blood" DVDs. The HBO series, while based loosely on the novel, is so much better, so much more fun, so much more in-depth, and so much more creative than the book. This could truly be one of the worst novels I have ever read; the writing was sophomoric, boring and pathetic. The storyline in the book regarding vampire Bubba's true identity is easily the most ridiculous storyline I have ever read in any novel. It's not a surprise that Mr. Ball decided to omit that storyline in the HBO series. I won't waste my time reading any other books by this author - ugh! *** Update, my friend had the second book, and i read it out of desperation because there were no other books to read at his lake house . . . it was worse than the first book.
