Chronicle In Pursuance Of Books Sookie Stackhouse 7-copy Boxed Set (Sookie Stackhouse #1-7)
This review covers books 1-8.These are a lot of silly fun, and more than a little addictive. They are decently well written (despite some continuity issues) but pretty much what you'd expect from a romance/mystery novel. Sookie's "voice" works better in some books than in others, and some plot threads are more compelling than others. Just when things started to drag a bit, there was a hell of a plot twist, and not one that I'd seen coming. I've enjoyed the whole series, so far, though book 4 is definitely my favorite.
I vote no on the Twilight/Southern Vampire Mysteries comparisons. Both series feature a human female who gets mixed up in what Sookie would call "crazy vampire shit," and both have some werewolf action going on, but that's about as deep as the similarities go. They are different kinds of stories, written differently and focusing on different issues.
And, while I'm comparing, I'll say that I like Sookie better here in the books than I do on True Blood, the HBO series inspired by the books. I say "inspired by," rather than "based on," because some of the changes are pretty substantial, though not necessarily bad - I like Bill better on the show, for example, and quite like the way Tara and Lafayette were changed/expanded. I love Eric in both versions :)
Looking forward to the next one (comes out in May, I believe)...

Decided to work my way through the Sookie Stackhouse series again, and have enjoyed it just as much as the first time I read them. I read the books first, then watched the TV series, which I also loved! I know that people either love or hate this series, I am on the love it side of the fence!I devour these books as they come out every April and then sadly have to wait another year for the next. These books are much better than the show!

Love these far-out tales!
As far as silly vampire soap operas, the Sookie Stackhouse books are fun and entertaining. They are totally girl-centric, and by that I mean that each love interest for Sookie fulfills some stereotypical ideal fantasy man for all kinds of women. The sensible good looking romantic (Bill), the bad good looking boy (Eric), the strong good looking masculine type (Alcide), and the uber masculine good looking protective guy (Quinn). And they're all good looking, if I didn't mention that. Sookie
Good ol' fashioned slutty fun! I have been addicted to these silly books from the moment I picked one up. There is no real arc to the story line accept when you find out why supernatural beings are so interested in Sookie, but each book is set up as an individual adventure in which our heroin is constantly getting the shit kicked out of her. Sookie just dusts herself off and moves on to the next adventure. I loved the southern perspective and the way she really captured the vernacular to a T.
As always, the books are better than the tv series. It's hilarious and poor Sookie is always getting herself into trouble.
