Didn’t Like It7 of 18 members found this review helpful “Due to my interest in mysteries and Stephenie Meyer's world of vampires I thought that The Southern Vampire Series might be an interesting set of books for me to read. They are supposedly really popular. After reading the first one I am not sure why. |

“Kinda Boring”

“Another great, great book by Adriana Trigiani.

One-third of the way through the book I was wondering how well I'd like this "young adult" novel, but thought I'd continue.
Thank goodness, that I did.
Trigiani fully develops each of her books' main characters, and the same is true with young Viola. She tells the story of a girl just entering teen-dom, moving away from home and her beloved New York, and growing up amongst three vastly different roomies.
Is Trigiani's portrayal of life in a dorm at a private boarding school correct? I can't tell you that, but I also don't think I would have enjoyed the book as much if they'd been back-biters.
Trigiani creates young women who we'd all like our daughters, nieces and granddaughters to be ... like us in that they wonder about boys, the first kiss, etc., but they won't let their gal pals or their drive for excellence take a backseat to boyfriends.
Hope to read more about Viola and hope she goes back to the boarding school, if only for a visit.”
“A really good book. Sookie Stackhouse is simply cool with the little touch of supernatural bit to herself”

“This first installment of the Sookie Stackhouse series is truly a good read. It holds the reader's attention with great detail and an exciting storyline. Far outshines the "Twilight" series of books if you are looking for vampire stories with a bit more. I recommend this to everyone who likes mysteries, strong female characters, vampires, and just a good old 'laying on the couch reading' book.”

“I wasn't impressed. I felt she tried too hard, and people like Laurell K. Hamilton had done it first and done it better.”

“Reading this book was by all means a guilty pleasure read. However, with that said, I did find that it was very enjoyable and kept me guessing until the very end. I will probably continue to read books in this series and will look into the HBO series.”
