I love the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris; so I was equally happy to hear it was being made into a television show. Well, I was happy until I heard it was going to be on HBO (which I don’t have), but honestly that is the best place for it to be.
True Blood is definitely a hit, and while it is based on the books, the show isn’t the same. Yes there are similarities, but when it comes to television, things that take pages to say in a book, can be done in seconds on screen. So there are going to be differences. But what do you think – are you happy with the changes? Did they totally screw something up? Is
Ryan Kwantenwho you pictured as Jason? Larissa (from
Larissa’s Bookish Life), Day (from
Paperback Dolls) and I want to know. So please join us at

I LOVE this series! Both the books and the HBO show. I think they did pretty good and I'm really happy with who they cast for Jason!
I read all the books and watched all the shows and I've got to say I like the show better. Just because it's smuttier, bloodier and it still has Lafayette in it.
So far the only big change from the books to the show is the Mary Ann story line. I was sick of it before the season was over.
