Sookie Stackhouse, Books 1-7 [BOX SET] (Mass Market Paperback)
Great Escapism...,
First off - if you are interested in the True Blood series on HBO - get these books and get this set. I was STRONGLY recommended to read these books after talking about the show by a friend who read them when they first came out. So I did...purchased one at a time. Boy do I wish I would have bought the set right off and then get the additional books later for I would have saved a bit of money and had a great way to keep all the books together and in great shape. Nevertheless, the books and show ARE different and yet both are worthy of reading/watching if you are into this genre of books. I have enjoyed both for various reasons, but for the books, I truly enjoy the narrative of Sookie through all her trials and tribulations of interacting with "special" characters. This is not a wannabe Anita Blake type of series, but very unique, exciting and often lighthearted...definitely not as dark! Harris has written these books in such a way to really draw one into them, sometimes even identifying with human emotions that is sometimes unexpected. Now I have all the paperbacks, without the boxed set container (sad), and am awaiting the next book in the series.
Plus I will continue to watch the show, knowing on what it is based and that I should not expect the same thing as I read in the books...yet knowing the same "flavor" will be retained. That makes for good reading and for good TV/movie adaptation.
Sookie Stackhouse, books 1-7
I'm in my forties and got interested in the Twilight Saga from my teenage daughter and read all four books which I really loved. I was looking for something interesting to sink my teeth into (so to speak), and came across this series of books by Charlaine Harris. Where Twilight is a modern day love story with a vampire twist, the Sookie Stackhouse series is more of an adventure where Sookie (the main character) finds herself in all kinds of crazy predicaments due to her main love interest, vampire Bill. The story line is dark, sexy and hilarious in some parts, a really good, fast paced summer read. You can also watch TrueBlood on HBO, the series based on these books where the characters really come to life.
