Review
I'm a big fan of True Blood and I just can't help comparing Living Dead in Dallas to season 2 of the show. While I enjoyed the book, it was so very different from the show. Normally that would be okay, but the show was more entertaining than this particular book. I really wish I had read the book before the show began so that I wouldn't have had it in the back of my mind while reading.

I've only read one Charlaine Harris, can't remember which one, but I felt exactly the same way - like the show is just SO much better than the book. How sad. :-( that shouldn't happen.
ReplyDeleteI like both the books and the show, because each of them have different story arcs, which makes them more interesting.
ReplyDeleteI'm really glad I read the books first. I actually haven't watched much of the series yet... I think you'll like the next book (and the one after it) A LOT more since it will be different than the series, but not contridicting (as much).
ReplyDeleteHope you keep with the series!

I really wanted to watch the show, but I never had. I also really want to read these books, so now I'm glad I plan to read them before I ever watch the show. Great review :)
