Good series... We have been reading these books for book club and usually have to do two at a time because we finish them in about 3 days. The content is definitely more adult than, say, Twilight but is funnier as well. view more	Nov 7, 2011	15
Charlaine Harris, True Blood I watched the first few episodes of True Blood before I started reading the Sookie Stackhouse series. However, I could not put the books down. Every time a new one comes out, I am at the bookstore to pick it up that day! They are fun, easy reads and really entertaining!! Must read! I bought the first three books for my mom for her birthday and she liked them too! view more	Oct 3, 2011	15
My favorite author Charlaine Harris is by far one of my most favorite authors. I read all the books right before the first season of True Blood came out. Though the TV show doesn't necessarily stick to the plot of the book I still find it entertaining and beneficial that it can stand alone on it's own merit. Once I finished her Sookie series, I began to read voraciously read her other works. I've found all of them just as enjoyable. view more	Oct 3, 2011	19
Sookie Yay! I admit it, I saw True Blood before I started reading the Sookie Stackhouse Series. But as soon as I started reading the Sookie Stackhouse Series I couldn't put them down. I read them like I can't get enough. I like how they are so different from the series, so it's like I am almost watching/reading two different versions of the book/show. My favorite character is also Eric.:) view more	Oct 2, 2011	19
Great reads As this style of writing is not my usual genre, I was unsure of what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised to find a show that is based on a book, and not have the constant need to compare them. In many ways the novels run so differently from the HBO series that you have no choice but to enjoy both pieces individually. A great read. view more	Sep 2, 2011	18
Addiction! I have been reading the Sookie Stackhouse series, and I have an addiction! I'm on the 7th book right now, but I read the first 6 within 2 weeks. My husband says I have a serious addiction with these books. I love the fantasy world that is created. view more	Aug 11, 2011	23
Love her! I absolutely love the Sookie Stackhouse series! She is such an incredible writer. I hate that the True Blood Series doesn't follow the books to the "T" because it makes it hard to separate both plots. If you are looking for a good sci-fiction series, this is it! view more	Jun 1, 2011	30
Great writer! Charlaine Harris has written several series, all of which I have thoroughly enjoyed. She creates strong female lead characters and her endings are always a surprise. These books are an easy read and hard to put down. view more	May 14, 2011	34
Easy Read Starting reading the Sookie Stackhouse series, 5 days ago. I'm on book 7 already. Addicting easy read, great way to pass the time. Reminds me a few other series' i am currently ready by other authors, just waiting on the next books. Is geared to a littled older, late teen, young adult more than a younger crowd. view more	May 5, 2011	36
Sookie Stackhouse Series I have always gotten into reading the paranormal / sci-fi books, but I had never heard of this series until it was turned into the True Blood show on HBO. My husband started watching True Blood and I decided to read the book series. I absolutely love Harris' writing style and her creativity in how she comes up with the different worlds for Sookie to interact with. Sookie starts off with vampires, then gets involved with shifters, and in the end has something to do with fairies. I love this series and I have it on my watch list so that I can purchase the next new book when it comes out each year. I have also read all of Harris' short stories and compilation works with other authors. She does a fantastic job. If you get into paranormal and sci-fi and you like adventure / romance this is the series for you. view more	Apr 27, 2011	38
Read all of the Stackhouse aka Southern ... All I can say is wow. I read all 10 that are currently out in 2 weeks, nope not a typo they are that fast to read and they suck you in. My husband was shocked that I read them that quickly. He hasnt seen me read in such a long time. I can not wait the 2 weeks now for the next book to come out. I am actually thinking about paying full price for the next book (all the others I was able to buy at a second hand book store) I don't think I can wait for the price to drop on it. view more	Apr 16, 2011	35
Love Her Writing Charlaine Harris has a very unique writing style. They're mysteries, but not heavy enough to make you worry or scared. They're relationship stories, but not enough to make you feel like you're reading a romance novel. Her books always have a light, breezy feel to them, even when they're talking about murder, making them great beach reads. Even if her characters' fashion sense needs (a lot) of work, I can't get enough. view more	Mar 10, 2011	46
Great Read The books are a great read, they get a bit repetitive, but still a good read. They are geared toward adults, which is a great thing! It seems that all the decent books in this genre are geared toward teens, like Twilight. view more	Feb 9, 2011	34
Starts out great, dies out boring I have read all of the series that Charlaine harris has written except for the last in the sookie stackhouse series. And they are all good except the last few in the stackhouse seires. I read they all in a few days and i like to read them in order, but as the series goes on the writing gets worse and worse, it's the same thing just a different day of the week. view more	Jul 31, 2010	44
Narrating in my head I find myself narrating in my head much like Charlaine Harris narrates for Sookie. The writing is so natural and flows with a great thought process. Thank you for the hours of enjoyment books 1-8. Looking forward to 9 & 10 and other books. Great Author! view more	Jul 29, 2010	62
True Blood I just love the HBO series "True Blood". I've only just started the books but I'm very excited about reading them. Thankfully, they are nice and easy reading! I don't want to get too far ahead of the TV show though because I just love being left totally anxious for the next episode. view more	Jul 14, 2010	55
Vampires with a bite Have read the Sookie Stackhouse series; very easy to read and very entertaining. There are a few of the books that are in my opinion too sexually graphic; the books don't need that. There is always a major issue and how Sookie resolves it is never boring. Good read.... view more	Jul 14, 2010	74
Southern Vampire Series I have read all but the newest Southern Vampire books, and started off really liking them. Sookie was strong and independent, the characters were believable (despite being vampires and werewolves and such). However, as the series has gone on, Sookie has gotten progressively more passive, and the books have changed from having great plots with some 'romance' thrown in to having lots of 'romance' with maybe a little bit of plot. Rather dissapointing. view more	Jun 21, 2010	72
Love me some Sookie I started reading the Southern Vampire series about 7 years ago, way before the HBO TV series. I love Charlaine's writing style. Her characters (specifically Sookie) are always strong women who are still fragile in some way. They don't NEED men to fulfill themselves, but enjoy men's company. I love the intimate relationships that get steamy, but not gross. I love the twist with the vampires and supernatural creatures. The only reason I won't give her 5 stars is because I think her writing has gotten a bit sloppy since the TV series came out, and she isn't giving me the detailed writing I usually like of hers. Stop trying to crank out more novels to make more money. Keep it real. view more	Jun 12, 2010	84
sookie I have read the Sookie Stackhouse series. I just finished Dead in th Family and it was really good. I hope she puts another one out. Her books just draw you in and you dont want to put them down. Thats when you know that you have a really good book. Im gooing to have to try some of her other books. view more	Jun 8, 2010	78
Lovin Me Some Charlaine Harris I started reading Charlaine Harris?s novels about 3 years ago. I have to tell you that she is one of the best writers that I have ever had the pleasure to read. Her characters literally become your friends. You want to call Lily Bard up and ask her opinion on exercise and housecleaning and give Sookie Stackhouse a ring to join you by the pool for a sun tanning session. Charlaine will forever be as a top notch hero to me for expanding my world. view more	Jun 8, 2010	65
Wonderful Wonderful sweet lady, met her at a book signing a few years before true blood hit the TV and she was soooo personable and sweet! I would but her books alone for her sweetness! She made a fan for life at that signing! view more	May 30, 2010	64
Love her vampire series I love her Sookie Stackhouse series and I am a faithful viewer of True Blood. The tv show is rather different but i love the different twists it takes and adds to the story. I am only on her 5th book, it is nearly impossible to force myself to put it down. view more	May 26, 2010	65
