Happily the book does not share the oversexed tone of the show, and the story, the setting and the characters are much more entertaining. I have since read and enjoyed two other Harris series (Lily Bard, Harper Connelly), and as such decided to give Sookie a chance albeit with reduced expectations. Consequently, I was familiar with the storyline prior to reading the book, and this affected my reading experience in two ways.įirst, the excessive, irrelevant and unnecessarily detailed sex scenes within the television series did not appeal to me, and resulted in my giving up on watching as well as choosing not to read the books. The popular television show, True Blood is based on Charlaine Harris's novels, and the first season closely follows the plot of this particular installment. So when a number of women in town are found murdered, Bill is a natural suspect and Sookie will have to use all of her skills to prove his innocence. Unfortunately, as a vampire, Bill is as much of an outcast as Sookie. Viewed as crazy and preferring to keep to herself, Sookie leads a lonely life until the perfect man comes along one whose thoughts she cannot listen in on - Bill Compton. Although small town waitress, Sookie Stackhouse, has lived in Bon Temps, Louisiana, her entire life, she has always felt like an outsider due to her ability to read people's minds.
