Dead Until Dark, Charlaine Harris
I could have sworn I reviewed this back when I read it, which was quite a while ago, but apparently not. So this review will be pretty short. Basically, I felt that Sookie wasn’t convincing as a protagonist — she’s just so stupid (“oh, I’ll just wander into a dangerous situation, everything will be fine!”) and yet so lucky (everything is indeed fine). I didn’t find those decisions she made plausible, at least not for a character I’m meant to like.
I do actually enjoy Harris’ books as light reading, or at least I liked the Harper Connolly books. So unfortunately it’s probably mostly that I really didn’t take to Sookie.
Oh well.
This is probably the lesser of the books for me…I liked 2, 3 and 4 a lot. I agree that Sookie is a bit dumb at times but I still liked her. But we can’t all love the same stuff or life would be pretty dull!

No indeed! I might try them again sometime when I’m in the mood for something light, but I just couldn’t get into it.
