The TV show yes. I have the book box set and I haven’t managed to finish it yet. I read the first three and it was good. I found the TV better cause I love Lafayette!

The TV show is quite good, maybe the last two seasons a bit pointless… I read the first two books as well but I found it was quite different from the show, not so intriguing and I didn’t feel like I wanted to continue reading.

I love ❤️ the series by Charlaine Harris which I read first before watching the TV series. I love the TV series but after 1st season it it diverts a lot from the books.

I haven’t read the true blood series yet. But I have read a couple of Charlaine Harris’s other books from a different series. And they were great. She is a fantastic author.

I read the books first and really enjoyed them but the tv show got a little too side tracked and into the realm of unbelievable for me

love both books and show – as mentioned the first book is the only one that really stays on par with season 1 of the show – after that they change but for the better i would have like to seen the book storylines on tv.

I liked the books and the show <3 even though they were different from each other. The only thing that bothered me about the books is that I'm not a big fan of first person point of view...

I read them a long time before the TV series came out & adored them. I watched the first episode of the TV series & was, like, nope, not happening! I hated it! It diverged from the books so much, I just couldn’t bear it!

I never finished the book series, I got about halfway through but they were great! TV show I made it to season 5. It’s great if you haven’t read the books but I didn’t like it compared to them.

The books were better. The TV series followed the 1st book, then went in a different direction. I enjoyed the first 10 books, but then the last 3, they fell short. I still liked them, just not as much as the first books.

The firdt few books are great. Closer to the end they get kinda weird but are still readable

I love the books. Stopped watching the show as it ventured so far away from the books and it just didn’t work for me.

I gave up on the books after book 12. And I only watched the show because I loved Eric
But she had another 4 book series that didn’t get much recognition because this became so popular the grave series their the only books of her I haven’t traded back in

I read the first two then gave up halfway through the third. Wasn’t for me. But then, I’m more into worldbuilding fantasy than vamps and werewolves…

I loved the books! If you like vampires and other creatures, it’s worth reading. As for the tv version, the first few seasons were good, then it went downhill.
