Fun quick read. Sookie frustrates me sometimes, but overall I appreciate her as a heroine. The plot leaves a little to be desired though - I care more for the world than for whatever happens in this first book (though I'll check out a couple others). I didn't care for the r-rated scenes, and I think there was a little too many things added in for shock value. (e.g., the reveal of the main killer and the things he did to his victims). But on the other hand, it was fun to read. I'm more interested to see what comes next.
