Book Reviews of Dead Until Dark (Sookie Stackhouse, Book 1)
Book Review: A great fun read
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay, so I signed up to do a vampire challenge from Alucard's Rose. One of the things I said I would do was look up True Blood on netflix and try watching it. At this time I didn't know it was based on a series of books. Well I watched it and well it is okay, but I can't stand anything HBO does because they have to base everything around sex.
So I decided to try the book because I know that books are always better and it is true with Dead Until Dark. I love Sookie, she has to be one of my favorite new characters for this year. You can just hear that southern accent in your mind while you are reading..lol. Yes, there are sex scenes in the book but nothing like what is in the series True Blood. It is fun seeing characters come to life, but I must rather keep them as they are in the book. I also hate how they can't seem to put anything that was in the book in the show. Do they always have to change things around..argh!
Okay enough harping on the show lets get to the book. This is also my first ever book by Charlaine Harris and so far I have found her style of writing to be very easy to read. I didn't want to but the book down because I always wanted to know what was going to happen next to Sookie and Vampire Bill.
The book has great characters that you can really fall in love with, even the semi bad vampire Eric is cool. The one thing that made me laugh is that the main character vampire's name is Bill. Now if you were like me you just couldn't help but laugh because I never think Bill when I think vampire, but it really fits him when you say Vampire Bill. We are in the south and it just sort of rolls of your tongue reall good. Say it with me....Vampire Bill.....LOL Okay, well I really don't know what else to say about this book except that I really loved this book. I have several of the other books and I hope I like them too.
So if you haven't read this book yet and you love vampire books I would suggest you run out now and get the book.
