This was a good wrap-up to the series. I was amazed she remember all the characters and completed their stories. The book also revealed some of these characters are coming back for their own series. Hooray!

If you're wondering what happened to any characters, just message me. Think of it as a public service I'm doing for you, dear reader, because you really can't unread this pig-slop of a book.

Do yourself a favor: If you absolutely, positively must know what happened to every inconsequential waitress, contractor, and supernatural hanger-on in the world of Sookie Stackhouse, then take this book out of the library. Better yet, walk into a library, take it off the shelf, sit at a table with it for the 10 minutes it'll take you to read it, and then put it back on the shelf. For the sake of the gods of good books, do not waste your money.

So, yeah, I borrowed After Dead from the library out of curiosity -- could it really be as big a waste of time as I'd been hearing? Well, yes. After Dead is an encyclopedic listing of the fates of all the characters, major and minor, from the Sookie series. I couldn't remember who half of the characters mentioned were, and even for the others -- well, I'm sorry, but it's not just terribly interesting to get a summary of a person's life in 2 - 5 paragraphs.

After Dead just seems like a last money grab to cash in on the Sookie series. Don't bother.

What was the point of this?? Main characters that were very prevalent got one sentence endings. LITERALLY one sentence.

This was a complete waste of time.

Nice to see what happened to the characters after but not worth buying.

This book is essentially a group of single paragraph entries on a lot of the characters major and minor who appeared over the long span of the Sookie Stackhouse series. The entries read like Facebook updates or quick exchanges at a reunion to sum up the last 10-20 years. While it is a cute idea, I think it would have been more fun and generous to the loyal fans of the series to release them daily or weekly on a blog or through social media as a reward for continued interest.

I really should have only given this one star, but I feel somewhat better knowing the fates of these characters and, most importantly, read this book for free from my library. Had I paid for this pile of garbage, that second star wouldn't be here. It's pretty appalling that this book cost nearly as much as an actual novel when it was just a bunch of bullet points.
