REVIEW: Club Dead

Club Dead
Author: Charlaine Harris

Sookie Stackhouse just wants to settle into a more normal life, but dating a vampire is making that really difficult. It seems every time one problem is solved....another one crops up. And the vampires keep wanting her to use her telepathic abilities to help them.  

This time, the situation is a bit more dire. Her boyfriend has disappeared, and they need to venture into another vampire territory to rescue him....if he's still alive. 

Club Dead is the 3rd book in the Southern Vampire series. I've read this series before and have every book on my shelves. As part of an effort to downsize before moving into a smaller apartment in 2027....I'm re-visiting this series and will donate my physical books when I'm all done. :) Gives me a great excuse to read all these books again! 

Sometimes, I just need to read something entertaining. Nothing complex. Not a great example of classic literature. Nothing educational. Just -- fun to read. And, this series is just perfect for that. I'm reading for fun and enjoying the fantasy, the characters, and the story.  Plus....a bit of steamy sex never hurt anyone. ha ha :) 

I enjoyed re-reading this book.  And yep.....I'm going to say it...... 

The books are better than the television show.  

I have read this entire series....and watched the entire show. More than once. The show just deviated too far from the books and HBO-d things a bit too far, if you understand my meaning.  As I'm reading I will probably watch the show again, just so I can hear Bill Compton (played by Stephen Moyer) say "Sookie" in that accent again and to enjoy seeing the parts I did like. :) 

I'm moving on to book 4!
