1: So far so good
I really enjoyed this book. I was very much into the author's take on vampires. I liked that it was a healthy mixture of fun, funny, light, dark, serious, and action. Can't wait to read the rest of this series.

2: Loved this book!
I just heard about this author and purchased the book. I am now a big fan and got the complete series of 8 books. Now I can't wait for the next one.

3: Not what I was hoping for
Considering the rave review I was given of Harris' work, I was greatly disappointed. The characters are dull and stereotypical, and the plot is flat and underdeveloped. It's "charm" seems to be its Southern setting, and I guess I'm just not southern enough to enjoy it.

4: Introducing Sookie Stackhouse!!
A great start to a series I'm excited to continue with. This book has humor and suspense, a good romance, and a great mystery. I thought it started off slow, but as you get to know the characters it definitely picks up. I love the main character, Sookie Stackhouse, and her 'gift' of being able to read people's minds which is both a blessing and a curse. I've heard that later books in the series are even more exciting, and am anxious to continue on with this series!

5: Mary Janice Davidson fans will see similarities
I'm a huge Mary Janice Davidson fan, so I was attracted to this "Southern Vampire" series because it seemed along a similar thread. There are, in fact, LOTS of similarities between this book and the MJD series. Both contain a heroine who is "different" in some way from other mere humans, which in both books seems to just drive the vampires wild with desire! The MJD series is easily the more humorous of the two, though the Harris character (Sookie) has a mad humor streak, too. This was my first dive into the Southern Vampire series and I will definitely be back - I'm anxious to read the other books in the series now.
