Tru Blood series
I just started the first one last night. It seems like i just cant get into it. Granted im only on page 60.. i watched the hbo series and loved them. i feel it is way to similar and im just re-reading them.
I sure hope i get into them bc i purchased the whole set ! Please tell me it gets better LOL.

Re: Tru Blood series
i couldnt have said it better. I bought the first book in the series and i cant get into it either. I should not have watched the hbo show first. Its ruining the book for me. I read the first 5 chapters of the book and gave up. I just keep playing the show in my head as i read.

Re: Tru Blood series
I have read all the books and found the first one to be my least favorite. I wasnt as in to it but the other 8 books are really good.

Re: Tru Blood series
I am on the second one, it's getting better.
The first one was hard because I liked the show so much I often found myself thinking that wasn't how it happened!!

Re: Tru Blood series
It gets better, the last one she just wrote could of been a little better but i think they are using to tie up some loose ends for the new one that come out in may! My fav by far is the 4th. I think the show is going to go in another direction I read the books before I saw the show it may have been a little more bland reading them after maybe.

Re: Tru Blood series
OMG, I think I am going to go get them! I on on a plane to Chicago for business this week. I hope I can go before then.
I loved the Twlight series, and have been looking for something to keep my interest. It didn't necessarily have to include vampires.
TIA!

Re: Tru Blood series
I can't get into it either!! I have about 40 pages left of the first book and I am not moving on to the rest of the series as of now. It really just isnt that good to me.

Me too, the one with the vampire convention was my favorite.
I can't remember which that was because I read all 8 within a month!!
I can't wait for #9 - I got a preview of it through her fanclub on facebook.
So excited.

Re: Tru Blood series
I love the series - read them all in about a week!! Can't wait for when the latest book is out in paperback.
The HBO series and the first book does not entirely mirror each other. There are some big differences. Keep with it - it does get better.

Re: Tru Blood series
I just started the 6th book and I love them so far. They are quick, easy reads and totally enjoyable. I never saw the series on HBO, so I am looking forward to watching them on DVD when it comes out and then watch it next season when it resumes. Where did the season leave off on HBO? I am curious where it goes to in the books?
