Editorial Review:
Sookie Stackhouse is just a small-time cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana. Until the vampire of her dreams walks into her life-and one of her coworkers checks out....Maybe having a vampire for a boyfriend isn't such a bright idea.A fun, fast, funny, and wonderfully intriguing blend of vampire and mystery that's hard to put down, and should not be missed. (Susan Sizemore)Praise for Charlaine Harris:Harris writes neatly and with assurance. (New York Times Book Review)An author of rare talents. (Publishers Weekly)
Sookie Stackhouse is a cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana, but she keeps to herself and doesn't date much because of her "disability" to read minds. When she meets Bill, Sookie can't hear a word he's thinking. He's the type of guy she's waited for all of her life, but he has a disability, too--he's a vampire with a bad reputation. When one of Sookie's coworkers is killed, she fears she's next.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - AMAZING
These books are my favorite - I like them more than Harry Potter and Twilight combined!
Rating: - Hope OPEC doesn't start dealing in synthetic blood.
This was fun to read. And yes, I will be reading the others. I don't need to add to the descriptions of what the book is about. It was more an "Urban Fantasy Lite" when compared with Green, Butcher and Harrison, but the humor was handled well and didn't seem forced. I do hope in future books in the series the characters become less stereotyped.
There were a few spots where Harris obviously skipped a line in her outline. The events just weren't believable. The absolute worst was:

Rating: - wonderful (female) fantasy
I read this book after learning that Allan Ball of HBO is directing a TV Series based on it. I was intrigued. The book turned out to be a griping reading. I couldn't put the book down till I was done, and I just had to read the other books in the southern vampire series (all 6 :-)) right after - So no one was able to talk to me for about a week.
The book tells the story of a good southern, yet unusual girl, who learns she actually likes to walk on the wild side when she meets and falls for ... Read More
Rating: - This was OK
I have enjoyed the Dresden files so much, I started looking at all of the series books that are out there. WOW! There's a lot of them! Hearing that HBO was going to develop a series based on these books, I decided to try book #1.
I found the writing easy and fun to follow. The idea of Vampires as people who just discriminated against but are now a part of "normal" society was interesting as well.
I did feel the "mystery" part of the plot suffered a little bit because ... Read More
Rating:  - Extremely disappointing
So...I had been eyeing this series of books in the scifi section for a while. I read the first few pages, but never committed to buying them. When I received almost the whole series as a gift, I was pretty excited.
I read this one, and probably will never read the others.
Almost the entire book is spent describing the wardrobe of the characters, in which I took no interest (expecially as this wardrobe apparently came from an 80's time warp). The remaining parts of the novel ... Read More
