| 08.11.10 | Second Sookie Stackhouse book. I liked this one a lot more than the first, but again hated the ending. I'm pretty sure that even without seeing the second season of the show, i'd have a problem with someone leaving his trunk all bloody and with the victim's wallet!!! For like a week, while there's a big murder investigation going on in your small town. You'd think that he'd wash his bloody trunk out or at least throw out the fucking wallet!
Other than that, I liked how the differences between book and show make them seem like bizarro-world versions of one another, or remixes or something like that. it's weird how they have the same elements but completely different deliveries and even completely different emphases on what's important. I think ultimately i still like the show more at this point because I feel like Harris' attention to plot is really lacking, but the exploration of other supernatural races and organizations in this book was really more enjoyable for me. I think at this point I'll read at least two more to get at least one book read that I haven't seen as a show... Still not sure I'll go the whole distance though... we'll see. |
