 Enjoyed "From Dead To Worse". November 25, 2009
L. Wright (NV)
Unlike some of the other reviews I have read about this book, I was interested throughout the entire story. There are a lot of details to the characters, which kept my interest. If you have read all the Sookie Stackhouse series novels, you will want to read this one too.
A little boring to be so deep in the series November 18, 2009
Mae Doe
I liked this book because I am devoted to the series, but I found this one to be a little boring to be so far and deep into the series. However, I think it is a difficult subject to tip toe around, so it might have removed some of the more dramatic and alternative plot lines available to Charlaine.

if you read this far into the series, you'll love this one just as much.
Sookie Power! November 15, 2009
Janet Hannon
Sookie knows how to remain a true friend to all. (Even when some show they can't be)

2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought the 8 box series of books, and if you see my other review was excited all the way through book 3. Not sure what happened after that. I had to "slog" my way through after book 4. I just finished "From Dead to Worse" and I am miffed that I took the time to read it. I read in one of the forwards from Charlaine Harris that she had someone who would be taking care of "continuity". Well, get your money back Ms. Harris, because there were so many blaring continuity issues I was almost ready to yell at the book! This series turned into a bad soap opera that refuses to even attempt to tie up any loose ends, yet makes so many mistakes you have to go back & check to see if you read what you read from the other books! I think I could have kept my suspension of belief if there would have been a point to many things that happen in this story. I don't want to spoil for those who have not read it, but many things happen that go absolutely nowhere. Unless she's gearing up for a few more books after the 9th one (which I'm not going to buy based on the reviews I've read & my experiences with the last few books of this series) I've completely lost all interest in Sookie & most of the main characters. Sookie annoys me. She goes through a bunch of trauma, then goes in to work. Yeah, I know the pace has to keep going, but c'mon! Sookie doesn't even hook up with Bill or Eric so if you're looking for that romance resolution, keep on waiting. Quinn, not even sure what that whole thing was about. Would have enjoyed more uncomfortable moments of Sookie's love triangle (quadrangle including Quinn, pentangle including Alcide, oh and maybe even Sam too?)that Harris has set her heroine perfectly up to have, yet none of them ever come to fruition. It's almost like "okay, here's the set up for everything, now let's forget that COMPLETELY, and go on to something else. What a waste of work for Harris. She had all the elements in place but did not deliver. Bad editing, bad advice, publisher's requests? I don't know, but I won't be holding my breath. I'm sure someone will Tweet me when Sookie makes a decision & stops whining. Oh, and Sookie's failure to form any relationships with men/vamps/supes is really annoying considering everyone that sees her falls madly in love with her. You'd think she was a homely spinster the way she spends her time when she's not being beaten up by creatures or trying to heal from a beating. Oh, and throwing in random family members & making up some outlandish tale (that "Gran" most definitely would have told Sookie about when she began dating Bill)totally killed any desire I have to read anything further in this series. I like VAMPIRES in VAMPIRE books. There are more "other things" in most of the books after the first two that I'm just not interested in (not a werewolf, maenad, whatever weird creature insert here, fan). If the creatures were there to move the plot forward with Bill, Eric, Sookie, etc. there would be a point to them, but there just is no point.
