I liked them. If you watched the show, just know the books are totally different.

Never saw the show. Are they worth purchasing?

If paranormal romance/drama/action is what you’re looking for? Then I’d say yes ?

Are they funny?

@Jill oh yes. I love em. Eric northman has more humor in the books. Different characters. Tara doesn’t bother me like she did on the show

Tara was the WORST on the show. She almost ruined it for me.

The first 5 books I loved and then they slacked off some IMO. They were funny. There were differences between the books and show.

I feel like charlaine harris’ heart wasnt into writing them anymore during the last 2 books! But I still loved them.

They don’t live up to the expectations. Too short and too costly. I would get them thru the library.

Enjoyed the books.
Couldn’t finish the first episode of the show though.
The characters looked NOTHING how I imagined them lol.

I agree. I liked the show but not because it was like the books. Just because it was more Sookie ?

I just started rewatching True Blood and was wondering how closely the books matched up with the show

The first book and first season are pretty close. Other than that, they are very different.

The books are pretty terrible. Characters are insufferable. The last half of the series should never have been printed.

My sentiments EXACTLY! Tried reading the first book, and yeah…NO, one of the few books I LITERALLY threw across the room in frustration.

@Melanie I don’t think I have ever read worse writing in a published author.

One of my favorite fiction series. They are fabulous!! Charlene Harris is such a great writer. The shows sucked. Honestly. They were so off base from the books it is ridiculous. But the books are fun, entertaining and I couldn’t put them down.

Loved them! Most were really really good! Reread them all.
But a couple didn’t quite seem to be up there with the rest, but still a wonderful series that I’d recommend.

Got the first one on sale a few months ago and loved. The rest of the series has not jumped to the top of my list partly just because there are so many books. But it has a lot better character development than the show did and I loved hearing the main characters inner thought process
