Here Be Vampires!

SuPeR K! says I should continue reading the books, but I was very disappointed in the first two.

The first one was ok, but I liked the plotlines added to the TV version way better than anything in the book. (The books are all from Sookie's perspective, so anything she's not involved in doesn't exist.)

It was worse for the second season. I liked many of the choices the TV series made, but they left out a ton of good stuff from the book - and the climax of the storyline was total weaksauce compared to the action-packed werewolf-aided escape in the novel.

So reading the books has left me disappointed on all fronts. K says the third book is fantastic ... but I think I'm gonna read the books after the series is over.
