I picked this book up expecting a more elaborate version of the television series, but what I got was the exact oppisite. To be fair, if I had been expecting the light-hearted, simple read this was, I may have enjoyed it a lot more. It's exclusively told from Sookie's point of view, so any interesting sub-plots involving Jason, Sam, Tara, or Lafeyette are non-existant--Tara isn't even mentioned, which I found disappointing, and Lafeyette is just a filler character that hardly comes up at all. The only plus here, in fact, was Bill and Sookie no longer have that pathetic, trendy, throwing-yourself-at-innocient-emo-vampire edge: Bill is a lot more dark and frank about his nature, and Sookie, for the most part, is a lot less needy.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you pick up this book, don't do it as a fan of the tv series: forget what you all ready know about Bon Temps, and just approach it as Sookie telling the story.
