Charlaine Harris threw us some curve balls with this book, and I have to say, the surprises were good. This book didn’t have much of a mystery like the other ones. Instead they tied up a lot of loose ends that were just hanging about. They also introduced several new characters and plots lines, and like always, Sookie was somehow in the middle of all the drama, or more likely, there to save the day. I really can’t wait to see where they will go from here. I find that each book gets darker and darker and I somewhat felt a little worried and depressed for Sookie at the end of this one. But I also had several giggly-girly moments - so nothing has changed there. As for the book itself if you have been with this series from book one, I loved it and I'm sure you'll love it too. It wasn't what I was expecting at all, but I still loved it.
Sookie’s adventures continue within the vampire realm in this book. As always, she is at the core of all of the danger and somehow comes out [mostly] unscathed. I can’t express how much I continue to love this series. Sookie is an unexpected hero. She is holding her own against the vamps that would use her -- a great example of how to survive and thrive when life gives you lemons. I’m a bit saddened that this is already the 7th book - meaning one more to go ‘till I have to wait for April ‘09 to get the next installment. Still rooting for Eric!
I tried to read this book once before and couldn’t get past page 50. So I decided to give it a second go and can say I feel a bit proud of myself for trucking through. I found it a bit dull and the narrator (Veronica) never warmed up to me. I just didn’t like her - no matter how much I tried. I found the book to be well Very Irish - and there were certain sayings I just couldn’t understand. The plot jumps around all over the place. The thoughts were often disjointed. And to be frank, I just didn't care about a lot of it. Very depressing. My recommendation - pass this one on by.
The saga continues, and like always, Sookie is up to her neck in the drama. There's a bit of everything in this one - including a new main squeeze for Sookie (it's about time). It was fun and quirky and just plain good.
To be honest, I picked up this book because every time I passed by it at the book store - the little cat kept giving me those "buy me now" puppy eyes - so of course, I collapsed and bought it. I thought the book was about Dewey, the cat, and it ended up being more about the librarian. They lost me at "Lots of really appalling things happened to me and my family during this time, which I shall now go on and on about for the next 20 pages"... I thought it could have been shorter and I would have liked it to focus more on Dewey and his impact on the Iowa community, and well, the world, then the life of the librarian. If you love cats, books, and libraries, then I guess this is the book for you. 
This series makes me laugh every time. The characters remain fascinating and endearing, you can't help having to know what happens next. We read more about the complex Were politics as well as this story introduced plenty of new characters, so I’m very curious to see which way she’ll head with Sookie’s love life. Bill, Eric, Alcide, Calvin and now Quinn.... so many men, so little time. I ♥ me my Sookie. 
A dying man's wish to travel the world from A-Z... this beautifully written little story will give you pause to think about your own mortality. Ambrose has been told he has a month to live - seems like a rather depressing topic. But the emphasis is on "Live" - and live he does. Beautifully written. Not a single wasted word. Simplistic and enjoyable read.
A great book! It's not rocket science of stellar writing, it's just guilty, good fun. It was interesting to see the interaction between Sookie and Eric. But also, this is the first book where all the worlds collide - shifter, vampires, witches, fairies, and poor Sookie. I loved vulnerable Eric.
This was surprisingly entertaining, thoughtful, and wrapped up in a very short, well-written package. I found that I just simply enjoyed the story, and let myself be carried away with Benjamin Button and his reverse journey through life. I am extremely excited to watch the movie, as I'm sure it will be a masterpiece to behold. 
The mischief and mayhem continue! Ah Sookie, those sexy supes just keep getting you into more and more trouble. And boy is it entertaining for the rest of us to read. Down with Bill!! Eric Forever! This is a great book, just as the two before were. I am sooo hooked. So lately, I have been noticing on some of the blogs I've visited links to reading challenges - and like the nerd that I am, I have decided to join one. This is not a very strenuous challenge as I can list the books I want to read and all I have to do is read them from 9/22/08 - 12/20/08. I am obviously starting a little bit late but I know I will be able to get my reading list done within the time frame set and of course provide my input on each book read.
