Living Dead in Dallas

A decent follow up to the first in the series. But man, the outfits Charlaine keeps putting on poor Sookie! They're dated even for the time this book came out and keep giving me Arkansas Wal-Mart shopping flashbacks.
Other than being distracted by the terrible fashions, I continue to enjoy the series. It's a bit jarring how different it is from the TV show, but we get a lot more detail and some things just work better in print than they would on TV. ( )

This was actually a re-read for me. I never got around to finishing the series. I find that I am enjoying the series as much this time as I did he last time I read it. ( )

I gave this series another chance because in the reviews to the first book, people said it gets better. But I found this book worse than the first. The author introduced a completely new, dangerous creature, but does nothing with the potential that comes with it.
She turns up, attacks Sookie so she has an excuse to get naked in front of Vampires and then turns up again at the end to magically solve a plot that would otherwise have been too... complicated(?) to resolve? I don't get it.
Also, Sookie continues to romanticise abusive behaviour.
I still like the ideas, especially the Fellowhip of the Sun. Great potential there, but it's not used. Well, apparently this isn't the goal here. ( )

OK. Bubba cracks me up. ( )

Decent Fluff. ( )
