They're like cotton candy. On face they look incredibly filling and satisfying but then you bite into them and the fluffy candy mass turns into so much sugar and you're just as hungry when you're finished as you were when you started. Except now you're out of money and your mom wants you to ride the Ferris wheel with your little sister. I've devoured all seven of the Sookie books and now I want more, except there aren't any more.

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. The author certainly has a great imagination, which is the foundation of great storytelling. There are themes in some of these books that set my teeth on edge: Sookie is raped yes! But, of course, he'd been starved and Sound familiar? But it gets better--later that night, that very same night that she was viciously bitten, drained of nearly all her blood and raped by this man, she is comforted BY HIM and lies peacefully in his embrace. I wish I were kidding. He wasn't himself. Sookie's trauma is minimal. All Together Dead: A True Blood Novel she can teach "talent" this to other women. Granted, vampires really aren't themselves when they're starved--very few can show control, although some can. But it seems to me that, given the history of rape not only in this country but worldwide, to set foot into this territory is dangerous and misogynist. And it baffles the mind to believe, All Together Dead: A True Blood Novel if she did forgive him, that Sookie could stand to be All Together Dead: A True Blood Novel the same room, let alone be physically comforted, by her attacker only hours after the attack. GAWD, did that one stick in my craw. It was truly offensive. Later in the series, Sookie, working for money from vampires, who are clearly dangerous creatures and who have repeatedly put her life in terrible danger hey, but she needs the money, y'all! She's poor and she won't go beggin'! These are the bodies of vampires and their human minions, mostly. When Sookie is approached by "the government" in the form of an aging rescue worker, she and Barry run from him to hide their identities. She doesn't want to use her powers for the government for search and rescue. Yes, she would rather be a waitress who barely subsists, who has to work to make extra money for creatures who nearly kill her and regularly put her life in danger than work for the US government in search and rescue. Cuz hey, ya'll, she loves her life in Bon Temps.
