To all the Trueblood fans out there... I love me some Trueblood and Sookie Stackhouse as much as anyone. In fact, I will have to thank Katie Simmons for introducing me to both the books (sookie bookies) and to the television show. I have read every one of the Sookie Stackhouse books, including this latest from Ms. Harris. I have loved each one of them, the first and the sixth (I think) being my favorite, but this one left me wanting more. In fact these last two, the tenth and eleventh, have made me feel this way. Harris seems to be keeping the story alive, but just barely. Sookie is kind of starting to get on my nerves and her indecision between who she loves, Eric or Bill or Sam or Alcide or someone else that could enter the scene at any minute. Also, there are so many magical creatures, that it is hard to keep them all straight: vampires, werepeople, fairies, goblins, demons, and others I'm sure I'm forgetting. At this point I'm not sure who is who or what is who or who is what.
I'm thinking that the series probably needs to end, and Sookie probably needs to make a few decisions. However, as long as the show is on, Harris will probably feel compelled to write more. After all, if you know how the book ends, will the show follow suit?
I will tell those of you who love the show, but have not read the books, the storylines are somewhat similar, but this last season of Trueblood went just barely along with the book. It's interesting because the series finale of Trueblood also made me mad because it just ended, much like the eleventh book of Harris's series. However, if you ask me if I will read the twelfth book or watch the fourth season of Trueblood, of course I will. I'm weirdly drawn in to Harris's world, so I guess I have no other choice if I want to know what happens. Also, I will miss hearing Bill's weird accent yell out, "Sookie" (use your imagination here.
