This was a lot of fun! Of course, the mystery was no surprise since I watched _TrueBlood_, but that didn't detract from the fun of reading this book! Sookie's mind-reading was much more interesting in the book. And there were several differences between the show and the book. Tara wasn't even in this book at all, which was a shock considering her large role in the show. While I would say that the show is more exciting - ending on cliffhangers, more action - the book is just so much more fascinating. I still like Sam better than Vampire Bill. And I am very curious about where the books will go since it seems that they, like the Dexter books, will go in a very different direction than the show.
