Book Comments (906)

I read the books way before True Blood came out and I had a hard time adjusting to so many changes, not just to the plot lines but to the characters themselves. I've got nothing against the actors but none of them fit the characters as described by Ms Harris.

The books are better than the series by a long shot, as is often the case. Books can give far more indepth descriptions of thoughts and feelings that actors {no matter how good} usually fail to project. Sookie's exploits draw you in from the start and keep you coming back for more. Wondering what will happen as she gets drawn further and further into the world of the supernatural.

Vampires are out of their coffins and the world is coming to terms with having something from myth and legend proven to be fact. With more surprises in store as the series unfolds, including the reason behind Sookie's telepathy.

After Bill and Sookie have a major fight in Dallas-they split uo. She goes on to the way her life was before Bill and he starts seeing someone else. When they see each other out with "others" this is what ensues. A little taste as to why I love these books so much

'As I unlocked the front door Bill came out of the darkness. Without a word, he grabbed my arm and turned me toward him, and then he kissed me. In a minute we were pressed against the door with his body moving rhythmically against mine. I reached one hand behind myself to fumble with the lock, and the key finally turned. We stumbled into the house, and he turned me to face the couch. I gripped it with my hands and, just as I imagined, he pulled down my pants, and then he was in me.
I made a hoarse noise I’d never heard come from my throat before. Bill was making noises equally as primitive. I didn’t think I could form a word. His hands were under my sweater, and my bra was in two pieces. He was relentless. I almost collapsed after the first time I came. “No,” he growled when I was flagging, and he kept pounding. Then he increased the pace until I was almost sobbing, and then my sweater tore, and his teeth found my shoulder. He made a deep, awful sound, and then, after long seconds, it was over. I was panting as if I’d run a mile, and he was shivering too. Without bothering to refasten his clothing, he turned me to face him, and he bent his head to my shoulder again to lick the little wound. When it stopped bleeding and begun healing, he took off everything I had on, very slowly. He cleaned me below; he kissed me above.'


Excerpt from “Living Dead in Dallas” Charlaine Harris- Sookie Stackhouse Series

Read this book about six years ago, I remember it presenting a fascinating new outlook and information to the more commonly accepted Western version of the discovery of the America's, at least in this part of the world.

awsome series

I have not read this book and unless i am gifted a copy i will not , it's almost 20 years old ie even if it looked at all the up to date material at the point of publication it’s still 20 yeas out of date

Most over hyped books ever !!!!! don’t get me wrong I enjoyed them (I have still to read the last two) but they are by no way master pieces of literature they are however entertaining and easy to read

Every one should read this book as there are so many misconceptions about this book , more to the point every christian should read it cover to cover I have met many people that claim to be christian’s but have never read the bible and know not what dark horrible and dark passages it contains

Everyone knows what they need to do to get to certain places in their lives, but many of us lack the motivation or commitment level required to actually implement it in our daily lives.

made jme cry so much so moving and wow!!! what a survival of the human spirit xxxxxa ust to read folks x

A mind opener and quite educational. Enjoyed reading about cathexis and our motivations and serendipity. It's been years since I,ve read it, but it stuck. Or some of it anyway. Would be good to read again!

Just recently read this book and have passed it on to friends - Loved the second and third parts of the book - would love to have the courage to travel like the author did and find the inner peace she did - Fabulous book

amazing read, really does open your mind, loved it.

what an amazing book

One of the books I'm reading. Thought provoking.

The part I liked the most was how as Sophie's past was unraveling, it got more and more scandalous.

You all would be very surprised to find out how accurate this book is, beyond the fictional scenario surrounding the facts.

i threw this book out a window. it's awful. badly written rubbish. almost every page is taken up with clumsy expedition and the main character's only reactions to the unfolding events are either shock, amazement, surprise or intrigue. on almost every page you will read, - joey was amazed to discover or joey was surprised to discover or joey was intrigued to discover. dan brown cannot write. i bought this book for 50p out of a charity shop and i still felt ripped off.

Everyone should read this book & continue reading a few verses or a chapter every day. With Divine assistance I was delivered from my addiction to tobacco & alcohol for 3 years. Unfortunately I backslid when I stopped my daily Bible Studies and prayers. I am hoping to get back on the Path.Thank God for His Book.

this book is hard to digest for some who dont see the continuity
of life after life until peace or rather the evolution of identity from square one being ignorant of it and back to square one with the knowledge of it , i mean one's own identity or source.
I was happy the faculty of psychiatry started seeing the light from a new angle wondering how to connect the microcosm with the macrocosm.

I have to say, I was also assuming this series was more geared for silly teenagers who didn't have a life. Woops. :) I have too many favorite chapters in each book to pick one that is my most beloved. I love them all.

I think what I like most about the series is that Stephanie Meyer is a great author--there aren't many out there than can still surprise me. The fact that she remained original through out 4 whole books was quite impressive.

Edward & Bella have the kind of love we all dream of. The type that says they would rather die than be separated. Romeo and Juliet. ;)

I was very disappointed with the movie myself, but I do plan to go see New Moon when it comes out--just because. :) The books are just so much more in depth..there's something in reading them that can't be conveyed by acting..

the Twilight saga was awesome the movie was horrible but i love the books

there is a book called beyond the road less traveled but I am sure you and the cat have read that too :)

"I believe in the mysterious beauty of Margaret Thatcher, in the arch of her nostrils and the sheen on her lower lip"
J.G. Ballard

i completely agree i watched the movie before i read the books because i just couldn't get enough..after watching the movie..i went and got all four books and they are so good books are better than the movie but thats fine..i really don't read a lot this was the first thing in years but i have reread them all so everyone should totally get them

I read this 25 yrs ago, when i was 17 or 18. Its one of the most widely read books in the world. Even my cat has read it. Is there anything up to date. Any new books??

woodlanders is my favourite of thomas hardy's collection all of which i treasure. woodlanders caught my drifting thoughts focused and assimilated the simple beauty of the language the story the irony and the words something like "philosophy will be enough for me but you! only GOD can help you!!" an absolute stunner that line.

Very enlightening

If you don't like it, don't read it. I got rid of 30 Wilbur Smith books because I didn't like all the sex in it. Don't need to ready about dirty old men getting aroused by Epytian treasure (River God. Need to read how the guy gets killed by the good guy since our society calls for the happy ending in every story.

I don't personally enjoying reading ths book, but I do think it is a book that everyone should read.

This book is totally unreal, power of positive thinking is the way to go, I couldnt put it down. I believe we attract situations of all negitive and positive just by the way we think. I am a true believer of positive thinking and positive affirmations.

I see, we never have too many dictionaries, lol!

Explores what a police state would be like.Big Brother`s watching you! Life in an all-powerful state. No matter what our personal political views are, this book makes us reflect.
