electraheart 's review for:

Living Dead in Dallas by Charlaine Harris

3.0

---

At this point I'm not sure if I like the books or show better. There are a lot of differences in the book that make it dull in comparison; for instance, in the show Jason goes off to join the Fellowship, which adds more of a plot and involves other characters. However, Sookie remains to be the only round character throughout the story, and it's a bit disappointing. Another thing I didn't like is how Sookie is always right. In the beginning scenes, she comes up with the idea of the house being bugged, and it takes her all of two sentences to crawl under a table and find the source of the problem. It isn't entirely logical and leaves Sookie as the ultimate protagonist, capable of saving every vampire's ass whenever they might be in danger. it seems a bit ridiculous at times. I'm still going to continue reading the series as I originally intended, and hopefully over time I'll grow to like them more.
