I keep hearing about this book, so I had to dive in and see what all the fuss is about. 
 I learned through other reviews that this is True blood is based off this series, I've never watched the show. 
 In my defense, I'd rather read than watch tv, but I'm curious enough to check it out. 
 Sookie is hard to explain. She's a small town girl and, well that's all she knows. So we get a lot of gossip, which was unneeded. In saying that, it gives a real feel of a small town. I didn't care about so and so's pants, but I did see what the author was doing. 
 You know that feeling when the hero is coming, your heart beats, you smile, or whatever happens when the hero makes an appearance, yeah that didn't happen. LOL 
 With a name like Bill, I should have known he was going to be boring, and he was. 
 I also knew the killer, from jump. 
 This was written like 16 years ago, and you can tell, so it was a cool read.
