I was very happy to see that Ms. Harris has delivered another good Sookie book. I was a little disappointed with the last one, but this went back to being what I expect from a Sookie Stackhouse novel. All my favorites are back and better than ever. I am glad Pam had a big role in this one as she is my favorite!!!
Poor Sookie, she can never seem to get away from people being out to get her. Between Sandra Van Pelt and Victor, how is she supposed to have a "normal" relationship with Eric. Of course, nothing is what it seems and she finally learns more about her little "gift". A fun read and I am looking forward to the next one.

More of the same. Someone is trying to kill Sookie?? Someone wants to have sex with Sookie?? I think it might be time to end this series...it probably should have ended a book or two ago!

La Harris è riuscita con sole 300 pagine a rimettere un'intera saga in discussione, ma noi la amiamo anche per questo (o forse no).
Ma analizziamo Dead Reckoning punto per punto:
-Sookie sta diventando antipatica senza un vero motivo, iniziando a somigliare ad Anita Blake (anche se non possiede ancora il suo harem);
-Eric si sta rovinando di libro in libro, iniziando a perdere tutto il suo fascino per mantenere la sua aria da principe dell'oscurità pieno di segreti;
-Pam è sempre la mitica Pam, anche se purtroppo è molto sfortunata;
-Bill deve assolutamente tornare nel suo stanzino e smetterla di atteggiarsi ad eroe della situazione, quando si sa cos'ha combinato.
Gli altri personaggi sono pressochè assenti o comparse inutili, ma ciò che infastidisce del libro sono i nuovi problemi riguardo alla relazione fra Sookie ed Eric per il lascito del creatore di quest'ultimo.
E chi ce la fa ad aspettare un altro anno?

Review from Library Journal's Express Reviews, April 15th, 2011.
Sookie Stackhouse, the telepathic barmaid, is one of the more famous protagonists of best-selling urban fantasy, in good company with Harry Dresden (Jim Butcher), Rachel Morgan (Kim Harrison), and Mercy Thompson (Patricia Briggs.) In this eagerly awaited 11th series title, Harris returns to her quick-wit style that was slightly toned down and almost missing in books nine and ten (Dead and Gone and Dead in the Family, respectively). Sookie, as always, finds herself in a runaround among vampires, various werecreatures, and her family of fae, and Harris is happy to amp up the danger and mysteries in which Sookie often finds herself mixed up. Questions are answered about the fae, something many readers have been looking for, especially those who have been watching the companion television show, True Blood. Old characters and new fill the pages, and the ending hints at changes that might be coming, without feeling incomplete.
Verdict Obviously a must-have for public libraries that already have the Sookie series so far, this title will circulate, so purchase multiple copies.
