Rendition Toward 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)...

#1 Dead Until Dark- included a brilliant description of someone we all know, "Denise wasn't truly pretty, but she was so flashy and confident that it took a while to figure that out."It was written a bit too simply to hold my attention. The sex scenes were more Cinemax, not imaginative. And the character Sookie has an interesting talent but is otherwise incredibly dull. I continue the series because my friend said it got better.#2 Living Dead in Dallas- It was a little better. Still theGuilty pleasure reading, for sure! The character of Sookie is much sassier and funnier than on the HBO series TrueBlood. I like the Southern Vampire type books...easy, quick, fun reads, especially during the school year when I'm bogged down in Dickens or Sophocles!
I bought this boxed set knowing nothing about HBO's True Blood. Since then, I've become pretty much addicted to the show, but these fun, fast, quirky mystery/romance books have brought me hours of entertainment as well.This series is set in a world where vampires have recently "come out of the coffin," meaning, their existence has been revealed to the world. They are fighting for legal rights, to be accepted into society, etc. The books follow Sookie Stackhouse, a barmaid in Bon Temps,

I really liked Charlaine Harris' writing style. She kept me guessing, it was unpredictable and I like being kept in suspense. Her characters are well developed and interesting. She's very creative in how she comes up with each creatures abilities, especially as they relate to Sookie.
Ill start out by saying that the three stars are for the writing, not the entertainment value. And Ill be the first one to admit that Ive given some atrociously-written books all sorts of stars, but I just didnt in this case. These books were lots of fun, though. I dont really have enough to say to review them all individually, so I chose this extremely convenient box set option which covers books one through seven. First, lets talk about Sookie. I like old Sook she says things that make me
