Title: Very poor read
Review: Sorry to all the Charlaine Harris fans out there, but this book is horrible. I read the book after True Blood started airing so that I could get some good background before delving into the series, but this book has turned me off of both. The main character, Sookie, is silly and vapid. She does not react in a believable way to anything, and I found it extremely hard to believe that every guy she meets is in love with her at first sight. Bill, her main love interest, is bland and uninteresting, and the love scenes between the two that litter the book seemed redundant and cheap. I certainly wasn't expecting a bad romance novel when I picked this up. But the worst part is the horrendous writing with zero character development, unless you count describing hair styles and changes of clothes. I highly doubt this book would have been published if vampires weren't the current rage, and I get the distinct feeling that Ms. Harris wishes she were Sookie.
