Book Reviews of Dead Until Dark (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 1)

Book Review: wonderful (female) fantasy
Summary: 5 Stars

I read this book after learning that Allan Ball of HBO is directing a TV Series based on it. I was intrigued. The book turned out to be a griping reading. I couldn't put the book down till I was done, and I just had to read the other books in the southern vampire series (all 6 :-)) right after - So no one was able to talk to me for about a week.
The book tells the story of a good southern, yet unusual girl, who learns she actually likes to walk on the wild side when she meets and falls for a vampire. It kind of touches on every woman's fantasy of taming the bed guy - and it actually works due to the splendid writing. The only thing that bothered me about the book was the somewhat conservative and sanctimonious depiction of sex. It's a sexy book that for some reason apologizes for it. It really shouldn't.

Summary of Dead Until Dark (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 1)

Sookie Stackhouse is just a small-time cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana. Until the vampire of her dreams walks into her life-and one of her coworkers checks out....

Maybe having a vampire for a boyfriend isn't such a bright idea.

A fun, fast, funny, and wonderfully intriguing blend of vampire and mystery that's hard to put down, and should not be missed. (Susan Sizemore)

Praise for Charlaine Harris:

Harris writes neatly and with assurance. (New York Times Book Review)

An author of rare talents. (Publishers Weekly)
Sookie Stackhouse is a cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana, but she keeps to herself and doesn't date much because of her "disability" to read minds. When she meets Bill, Sookie can't hear a word he's thinking. He's the type of guy she's waited for all of her life, but he has a disability, too--he's a vampire with a bad reputation. When one of Sookie's coworkers is killed, she fears she's next.
