Title: Not What I Expected...
Review: After watching True Blood on HBO I decided to purchase the Sookie Stackhouse novels to read. This is the first book in the series and I was very disappointed. The author is a very immature writer with poor characterizations and stereotypes galore. Most of her characters are not fleshed out and those who are well developed are unpleasant to say the least. I did not like Sookie in True Blood but I downright hated her in this book. She uses her telepathy to make excuses as to why her life sucks and she is, at times, horribly nasty to the people who care about her. She blames her vampire lover Bill for things he has no control over and she runs hot and cold about their relationship. I got the distinct impression that this book was written by a ten year old and I have no idea how it got published and I will never understand how it got so popular. I will continue watching True Blood but I am done reading any books by this author.
