Grade: B+

Hello, kids. It is Ai and I’m back. Heh. I’m so funny. Or I somehow got Bam’s cold thru the internets and I’ve been chugging down NyQuil non-stop. Anyway, I was stuck in bed all day yesterday, so it was a good thing I had Charlaine Harris’ book to keep me company— especially since I refused to turn on the teevee in fear of hearing more about HRC’s delusions of actually beating Barry to become the Democratic… no. I won’t talk about it anymore. I haven’t been happy with the last books, mostly because I didn’t like Sookie Stackhouse’s new boyfriend, Quinn, and I sincerely thought Sookie was turning into some icky Merry Gentry clone, what with her menagerie of men and all, but this book made me realize that Sookie would probably think Merry Gentry is pretty gross, too. I was quite happy with the story developments presented in this contribution to the series, especially since I approve of Sookie’s love interest — and you can always tell who would be Sookie’s love interest by looking at the front cover and hey, it’s a vampire and there isn’t a hint of a tiger’s tail… YES! — and I really like how Sookie is developing as a person. The only thing that didn’t make this an A for me is that the book felt bloated with characters. There are so many people in this book— I know that part of this series’ charm is the citizens of Bon Temps— that the constant revolving door of folks wanting to talk to Sookie or assaulting Sookie drove me a little crazy. Poor Sookie didn’t have a second to herself. My favorite part: ERIC-love galore! Oh, and the Redemption of Bill Compton. Maybe.

Oh, and spoilers abound in this review.

Apparently, there’s some kind of meme going on about heroes you’d take on a desert isle. I have no idea how it works. I’m too hopped up on NyQuil. But yeah, Lisabea tapped me to do this.

1) Bruce Wayne (Batman) - you’d want this guy on your island. He’s resourceful like MacGyver, plus he’s super rich. I bet he could get us saved right away.
2) Angus Macgyver (Macgyver)- What this man can do with the spring from a clicker pen and a ball of twine…
3) Eric Northman (Sookie Stackhouse books) - He’s my favorite vampire. I don’t know what he’d do for blood, though. He’d turn me anemic pretty quickly. And where would he hide from the sun during daylight hours?
4) Tony Stark (Iron Man) - He’s like Bruce Wayne, only he’s got more issues, what with the whole “Merchant of Death” thing he’s got going for him. He’s also resourceful. I think he made the Iron Man suit in a cave with the tiny spring from a clicker pen and a ball of twine. Plus the man is brilliant at timing when an explosion is going to go off, which is just as he is walking away from it.
5) Sam/Dean Winchester (Supernatural) - they probably won’t be much use to me. They’re whiners and they fight a lot. But I could use teh pretteh on my island. I could watch them as I starve to death and suffer from heat stroke.

And that’s it.

P.S. Apparently, I totally did this wrong. But oh well, at least you know who I’d take on my desert isle…

Getting over a vicious flu. Sorry for the lack of posts. Will return as soon as I can. Love you all.

Note: Because you guys asked so nicely… here’s another chapter to tide you over till next week! Don’t say I never gave you nuthin’.
