Insert most offensive expletive here! One of the more torturous novels I have read in recent times, evidenced by the numerous times I flung it across the room. This book is a seedy and corny romance that accommodates the likes of an inconsistent and annoying main character. I strongly suspect that the only reason this is a popular novel, and thus popular series, is for its vampire content. Harris should be thankful she jumped on the fanged bandwagon when she did. Harris' style of writing, not unlike her protagonist Sookie Stackhouse, is consistently inconsistent. There are times when the story is compelling and well told and at other times it is like she handed it to a young child relative to fill in the blanks. A pure waste of reading time... I should have watched a movie instead.
