I probably shouldn’t have read this, but I was dying to find out some of what happened in From Dead To Worse seeing as I just finished All Together Dead, and I have to say that I can’t wait to read it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

LOL “Sookie won’t hesitate to cut a bitch” OMG!!! You had me rolling! That was hilarious because it’s so true.
This is my FAVE series because Charlaine Harris is aware that there are people in the world that aren’t white. And not every vamp or werewolf in the “world” is filthy rich and can throw money at a situation to solve it. I’m a black chick and I find it refreshing that she uses all classes and all colors to tell a story. The saying “It takes all kinds…” is very much true in this series. Can’t read the Brotherhood series after Bam pointed out the whole vanillaness of it and when Karen said that a lot of people wouldn’t be reading it if they were black…yeah. Thank you BAM and KAREN!!!
Fantastic review and spot on!

Bill realizes he’s been a douchebag for the six books and seeks to make amends, though he’s still kind of a douche

I have to say, it’s so refreshing to have someone try to do a turnabout but have trouble succeeding because, let’s face it, you can’t be an ass for that long and just wash it off like a speck of dirt!

Can I say how refreshing it is to read that someone else despises Quinn as much as I do? Charlaine’s webiste is overcrowded with Quinn lovers who are now pitching a fit (hee-hee!). I never liked the character, and just couldn’t comprehend why Sookie would hook up with him (sexuality compatibilty aside).

And the last couple pages of the book really shocked me. Up to that point, this was reading like a final book of the series (a lot of loose ends being tied up), but with the introduction of a very special kin of Sookie’s, there can only be much more to come.

Hey, great review, and oh boy, do I ever agree on Eric Northman! (I have him on the desert island). I love how he calls her lover. And all the little things he does now that he remembers. It KILLS me to think she might be going back to Bill. I know that thing about the cover, but please, be with ERIC!

Ahem. Anyway, I always enjoy the Sookie books. I wasn’t too against Quinn, I sort of just want her to BE with somebody. I liked Alcide when he was around, too.

Plotwise, I agree about the shotgunning of major incidents. In a way, the entire shape of this book is different than most, a kind of constant “peaking” and with so many big things happening, any one single incident doesn’t have the gravity it may have had in other books. Still, I feel this series is in a class of its own and this book works for me as the others had, for many of the reasons you state.

I can’t wait for the next book.

Charlaine Harris, if you’re out there, more E..R…I…C…

Thanks for the rundown… my wife and I have been HUGE fans of this series since the start (The first book was even the impetus for me to start writing my own, even) but I have to admit I’ve been disappointed in the last few books for the same reasons you mentioned… a new man each book, some odd things that seem sort of contrived (she’s got fairy blood? lame.) and how Bill felt like he was never really used to his full potential. I’d love nothing more than for Sookie to get her act together, and if this is where it happens, then YAY!

I didn’t read past the “Oh, and spoilers abound in this review.” I haven’t read it yet and I don’t want any spoilers, Ai!

But I’m glad to hear there’s a new love interest, it’s not like I didn’t like Quinn but I think Sookie needs a new boyfriend.

Can’t wait to read this one!

WOOT!! I just checked and Audible.com FINALLY released the audio book for this one! I'm going to have to set The Immortal Highlander audio book aside (*gasp* did I really just say that?!) to listen to From Dead to Worse because it's killing me to NOT read all these reviews for it!

Yayayay! I’ve been haunting the Charlaine Harris aisle recently, waiting for the next Sookie book. It sounds like it’s worth the wait and I’ll be snatching it up right quick.
