4.0
Characters: Sookie Stackhouse, Bill Compton, Eric Northman
Sookie discovers the dead body of Lafayette (a man who has cooked at the bar a time or two) in Andy Bellefleur’s car.
Andy was drunk the night before and his sister came to pick him up.
Sookie gets attacked by a creature in the woods where its claws have poison, to the point where it will paralyze the victim. Bill takes her to Eric and he gets a doctor to help Sookie. Eric asks Sookie to go to Dallas and look for Godric, who is Eric’s maker.
The differences between the book and the TV show:
1. Lafayette played a bigger role in the TV series, where in the beginning of this book (book two) his character is killed.
2. Tara is black in the TV series, where in the book Tara is Caucasian and owns a business, also Tara never grew up with Sookie in the books, and she was seeing Benedict (eggs).
3. Bill Compton doesn’t own a strip mall in the TV series, also he doesn’t turn Jessica into a vampire in the book series.
4. In the season two series her brother Jason gets involved with the fellowship, where in the book Sookie goes undercover and Jason has nothing to do with it.
5. Season two in the series had a whole plot line of a woman (Maryann Forrester) who is a maenad, where in the book there was a small plot line with Sookie getting scratched by a maenad named Callisto where Sookie needed to be helped by Eric and his doctor.
