If you like chick flicks and vampires, a good read.I think the vampires seemed more creepy than they do in more teenage vampire books.
It leaves you hankering for the next book as there is room for the characters to grow and so many questions left unanswered. This book is an awesome kick start to the entire series. The town is filled with were shape shifters and even Bubba, the mystery vampire. But the quaint town of Bon Temps is an interesting world. Sookie falls for him because he is the only one whose mind she is unable to read (Edward and Bella). Bill is not an ordinary blood sucking vampire, he gulps down synthetic blood. Charlaine Harris is a skilled writer and many of her ideas can be found in other vampire franchises. Bill’s caveman routine and Eric Northman’s blatant flirting, keep the book light and funny. The novel itself is sexy without being overly erotic. But Sookie Stackhouse, with all her shortcomings is a lovable protagonist. The body count continues to rise in the subsequent books too. The sheer amount of characters introduced, dazzle you at times and somewhere near the middle you realise that too many people are getting killed/murdered. The book is not only fast paced but from the word go it grabs your attention. A warning to all Stephanie Meyer fans, here the vampires don’t glitter. The first book became so popular that it sparked of the HBO, True Blood series. This book is the starting point of the Southern Vampire series.
In order to stop her boyfriend from being arrested, Sookie begins to sleuth around to find the murderer before she becomes the next victim. Meanwhile, vampire groupies are being murdered and Bill becomes a suspect. Sookie falls for him as she is unable to read his mind and Bill is there to protect her from the bad guys. Along comes Bill Compton, a vampire and he nicely stirs things up in the town. Plot Discussion: Sookie Stackhouse, the protagonist is a telepathic waitress in a bar in Bon Temps, a small backwater town in Louisiana.
