Excellent series Mar 05, 2010 I love watching the HBO True Blood, but the books are so much better! I can't wait to read the next 2 books in the series! This is a much more grown up vampire series and has good twists that keep you reading.

Great Deal for Great Books! Mar 01, 2010 After watching the first season of True Blood, I was hooked! After learning that the series was originally a book series, I was intrigued. I decided to buy the first two books in paperback form in order to get started. Well, after reading the first two installments, I was hooked and could not wait to read them all! I am so grateful that I found this box set. For the price of 35.00 with free shipping you get the first seven books of the series (about 5.00 per book!) With each of these books selling for around 7.00 a book, you are saving 14.00 off the price of buying each book individually.
These books re quick entertaining reads, and I found myself plowing through the entire books set in a matter of days! This series starts off dealing primarily with vampires, but quickly introduces shape shifters, werewolves, were-animals, witches, and telepaths (yes, plural!). I find the world that Charlaine Harris has created to be truly entertaining and great distraction from everyday work and stress! You will not regret this purchase!
Enjoy!

The quality goes down as you move through the series Feb 19, 2010 Harris created wonderful characters, but unfortunately did not take them in a wonderful direction. I am a huge fan of the True Blood HBO series, and I was encouraged to buy the Sookie Stackhouse set. It was interesting to see where the show and the book series diverge and what they have in common, however I would not recommend purchasing the entire set. Even if you have read the first book or two, there is a serious decline in quality of writing and plot as you read on. Sookie is an incredibly strong character, but gets weaker through the books, and downright unlikable by the fifth book. I hear the HBO series is going to diverge more and more from the books, and I sincerely hope so. I was sorely let down by Harris and feel she truly "phoned it in" in the later books, relying on the fact that she had a dedicated cult fan-base. I think the fan base deserves better treatment of their beloved characters, and I hope Harris considers this in her future writing.

I could not put these down Feb 18, 2010 These books were awesome. They are so fun to read, and once you start reading one you will not put it down, until you move on to the next book. I had never even seen True Blood (the show based on these books)but thought they looked interesting. I also suggested them to a friend and she loved them too!
