5By Paw2168Awesome, engaging, and funny! I really enjoyed the book.Relaxing
4By School yourselfI found this book to be a relaxing read. There is something soothing about the pictures evoked by Harris's writing about a mug of coffee, doing housework, taking a shower, making the bed, and dressing for work. I really felt as though I was seeing Sookie's life - not just the action scenes, but as a whole. A nice way to give my mind a break through total immersion.Awesome Book

5By ChristenHDAwesome bookWasn't as good ...
4By DaisyPinkThis book wasn't the page turner that book four was. Also I'm not loving the fact that Sookie's style is old fashioned. I'm just assuming that's because Charlaine is older and so she has older ideas. For example, red tights, who wears tights anymore? Wasn't this written in '06? Also the idea that Sookie doesn't wash her hair every day. I know back in the day that's how it was, but not this day and age. Maybe I'm just being picky. I LOVE these stories!! I just wish Sookie's ideas/style didn't seem like they were from the 60's-70's or whatever.Guilty pleasure
5By Pilot 55qI never thought I would read vamp stories. But I like these. Very interesting story plots and twists.It's a good book
3By hotsauce022Not as much action as the rest or maybe it's just not the same kind of action.
