I'm sure that part of that stems from the fact that I have seen the first season of the show, but I really enjoyed the story for its own sake.<br /><br />The fact that the show does not slavishly follow the books makes them enjoyable on their own. I especially liked the new characters and did not miss the ones who had a much bigger role in the show (Amy, for example).<br /><br />Great review, as always, Billie.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-55356446771179827042011-11-16T22:07:35.851-05:002011-11-16T22:07:35.851-05:00Sorry, HBR.

I've been waiting at least two years...YAY!!! <br /><br />I've been waiting at least two years for you to review the books!!!<br /><br />Thank you!!!<br /><br />I'm not a fan of first person narratives, so while I have the first four books – because of the TRUE BLOOD covers - I haven't read them. <br /><br />Your commentary has me rethinking that stance for these books....<br /><br />Since we're on the vamp subject....<br /><br />I know you had an awful experience with the BUFFY Season Eight comic (it stunk), but have you heard about I, VAMPIRE?<br /><br />So far, it's been fantastic. <br /><br />Issue #1 Preview<br />http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=preview&id=9910<br /><br />Issue #2 Preview<br />http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=preview&id=10242HellBlazerRaiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12015895593976794867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-81232886277311599552011-11-16T16:53:47.333-05:002011-11-16T16:53:47.333-05:00I'm still hoping for some kind of version of B...I'm still hoping for some kind of version of Book 7... The most disappointing thing about losing Sophie-Anne for me is that it makes the more interesting story from Book 6 impossible to do.<br /><br />I love Bubba, but I think, even without the legal issues, he wouldn't work on TV. On TV he'd be a joke, whereas in the books, he's part joke, part rather sad character.Juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203399623895589924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-87256580622835742812011-11-16T15:51:36.195-05:002011-11-16T15:51:36.195-05:00I'm so glad you are reviewing these books.

(I'm still angry at Allan Ball for what he did with Sophie-Anne, book 7 would have been just great on Tv).<br />Also, I read somewhere Bubba was never pictured in the show because Ball thought an Elvis doppelganger would be cheap which is a good thing and yes, kind of a shame since Bubba is one on the best.<br />Can't wait for the rest of your reviews!<br />CColinnoreply@blogger.com
