 Rating:  - Better and BetterCharlaine Harris's eighth book in the Southern Vampire Mysteries series left me completely satisfied. The writing has, as always, a delicate balance of humor and mystery, and the plot itself resolves several issues that had plagued poor Sookie for awhile. I especially enjoyed how Harris stepped out of the mystery plot formula and gave readers not one but ultimately three (actually, more) separate stories, with their own conflicts and resolutions.

Rating:  - From Dead to Worst - Charlaine HarrisI won't really describe the happenings in this book, because it felt like mostly filler.

There were some interesting bits of information revealed, but I doubt Harris could have sucked any more life from their presentation if she tried. If this was a TV show you would say all of the ...
