![]() This book is a superb assortment of many things. Possibly related, in part, to her dating the local vampire, Bill, the entire scenario thus presents a truly exotic, unusual and fascinating world – all the more appealing due to Sookie’s remarkable attitude, peculiar aptitude and unique viewpoint of her special province. Having to live with her telepathy, considered 'crazy', and hence not easily accepted by most - as vampires are now - Sookie has hidden depths and talents that come to the fore when she becomes a target for a serial killer brutally attacking women around Bon Temps. Charlaine Harris, at least with this first book, has created a sharply astute, seriously satisfying series by pandering to current cravings (bad pun intended), where paranormal premise meets southern sensibilities with some novel extras added in these rather odd ingredients all deftly blended into a highly entertaining mix.Sookie Stackhouse, blonde, blue-eyed and sassy, has a self-proclaimed ‘disability’ which she promptly explains, from the very first page, in her introduction to vampires, her life, and her home locale with a Southern receptivity that is smart, interesting and immediately charming. And I have to agree with the general consensus. ![]() ![]() Wow! Now I know what all the fuss is about, now I know why they made a TV show based on these books and now I know why both are so successful. ![]()
