Even though these stories may not have been all new for me I loved reading them anyway.

I love this book it fills in the blanks and adds to the characters the small things that did not get into the 9 books of the Sookie Stackhouse Novels (Southern Vampire Series) . If you have not read the books you might feel a little left out on this one. These are just short stories little side bars and they are great I was done with the book in a few hours.

I am a devoted fan of Charlaine Harris and her Sookie stories so I looked forward to reading this book. Unlike some other reviewers, I knew it was not a continuation of her novels, but a collection of short stories. However, the stories were really not that good or interesting and I suspect these stories were probably edited out of her larger novels for this reason. I did give it 3 stars because as a Sookie fan I still enjoyed reading more of Sookie and her world. My advice: do what I did and spend a hour or two at your neighborhood bookstore and read it there for free. There are only 4 or 5 stories in the book; the stories are ridiculously short and written in a really large font.
If you're a fan... it just doesn't matter. November 19, 2009

I have enjoyed the series- flaws and all. If you're a Sookie fan you're going to read this regardless of the reviews. Having said that, the book seems incredibly rushed and is an extremely brief read. It did give me a little Sookie 'fix' while waiting for the next book in the series and it was cute.
SPOILER: I did find one story disturbing... 'Gift Wrap'. Sookie's great grandfather sets up a special booty call for her. I enjoyed the story up to the point when you find out it was arranged by grandpa. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I find it disturbing to think of a parental unit masterminding a sexual escapade for their child.
Overall, add it to your collection.
