Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have loved all the Sookie novels and have always looked forward to every May when it's released. I don't think I'm hard to please, I even liked the previous books which others didn't like. But this one was just not very good. SPOILERS (please don't keep reading if you havent read the book). If you are Team Eric you will not like this book. Basically Charlaine has butchered the character much in the way she did with Bill when she wanted us to start disliking him so she could set Sookie up with someone else. He is basically never there for Sookie, has no romantic scenes with her and basically just acts like a idiot the whole time. The whole relationship is so stupid. They can't even have a proper conversation to resolve their problems, Sookie keeps hanging up or walking out. What is this high school? They certainly don't act much like people in love. By the end of it I was so sick of Sookie that I began hoping Eric would dump her ass and get together with the Queen and have an exciting life far away from whining Sookie. I thought the Fae storyline was alright, pretty exciting and a nice wrap up for the faeries. So that's fine. Now onto the guy Charlaine is looking to set Sookie up with. I have nothing against Sam but well... He's just so plain. I tried imagining him with sex appeal to give him a chance but no... And look now that I've had a chance to calm down, I think maybe Boring Sam is actually a good fit for Whining Sookie. He will definitely give her kids, make her no 1 etc etc. So unless there's a serious backlash over this book and Charlaine backpedals in the final one, it looks like this is the resolution she's aiming for. I'm just a bit sad that my beloved characters are actually like 12year olds and totally not themselves. Hopefully Eric when you've hooked up with the Queen you'll have an awesome and exciting life and never look back.
