I haven't read the books or seen the tv show. I've heard all the talk about both and the books are on my list to read. I have always found the book to be better than the movie version. Some how the movie is never as good as the book.

Although I enjoy the TV version, I started with the books way before there was even talk of a TV series. The books explore the characters more and aren't as explicitly graphic. The plot has taken a lot longer to develop and it's hard to do that with television and keep your audience.

Love the books, the show's okay. I generally don't like the movies or shows made from books because they change too much.

It's not that I haven't been enjoying the TV show, it's simply that the way they say "Sookie", well it just took me a while to get over. I have a major problems with most movies, tv shows, whatever the case may be. However, this is the one of the better ones I've seen. I personally approve. :)

I think the books are better however there is nothing like seeing something you've dreamed up in your mind brought to life. The books are much more detailed and I think tell an amazing story. I really hope she does more books. I can't wait to see next season of True Blood as well.

I like the tv show way better!
SudokuNut says:
I love the books but have to say I love seeing some GOOD vampire related TV for a change. Been a long time IMHO!

Anne Rice on Trueblood
Originally posted on Facebook by Anne Rice
Anne Rice: "Let me add that Stephen Moyer as Bill makes a marvelous vampire in True Blood. What's so marvelous about this series is the mixture of serious material with witty and satirical material. The series perhaps has too much sex and violence for young adults, but it is wonderful fun and very absorbing. It's full of surprises. I'm hooked. I've ordered the novels by Charlaine Harris."

I agree that it would probably be more of a curse most of the time, but it has come in handy for Sookie on more than one occasion! I don't know, but maybe it would be worth it, if it could be controlled when not needed. :-)

What do you think of Trueblood's Sookie?

I think the sookie in true blood is very right. She seductive , funny, and a real eye pleaser. I love everything about her.She's just right.

amitkish says:
I think she's great. The only issue I have and I think the books portray Sookie as being smarter than Anna plays the character but as time goes on in the HBO series, I think we will see the way her mind works and the way she can figure out things.
Posted November 04, 2008
No Way! Anna Paquin is not a good representaiton of the Sookie I know and love from the Southern Vampire Mystery Novels!
Connor says:
No Anna Paquin really annoys me as Sookie. She's whiny and always finds some way to blame Bill for everything. I think she's not as strong as as book Sookie; she doesn't seem as good.

- I adore the TV show and as bad as I feel to say it; I find it more entertaining. I think it may simply be because I saw the show first and then discovered the books. I am sure if I had heard of the books first I would prefer them.
