Entertaining enough to finish, but not a favorite. The characters fell flat and I didn't find it humorous. Most of the writing is "telling" not "showing" so I wasn't emotionally involved. Interesting plot but, overall, reading the book made me miss the charismatic vampires written by Raven Hart and Jeaniene Frost. I'm scratching my head over why HBO picked this series for their show. The show, TrueBlood, is equally unimpressive.

I'll eventually read the next book because people say the series gets better.
