living dead in dallas

well, finally i’m done!  i watched the first 2 episodes of true blood on tvshack and it got me all excited about the books again.  there’s more murder in this one which forces sookie to join in some erotic escapades later in the story.  is it me or does sookie find herself in the most sexually charged environments that have no business being there?  practically her whole town participates in sex parties?  come on, really?  the reason behind the murders in the first book was so much more believable.

luckily, sookie and co. do a stint in dallas when her “gift” is lent out to the head vampire there.  this was much more interesting since “the fellowship of the sun” is introduced causing shenanigans in the vampire community.  these extremists believe vampires should “meet the dawn” and burn since their very existence is sin.  anyway, sookie helps rescue a dallas vampire from the hands of the fellowship then returns to bon temps to solve the murder of her friend…blah blah blah.  it’s all pretty airy.  but sookie does refine her telepathic ability and is able to communicate with other telepaths.  sookie and bill break up then get back together something fierce.  oh, there is also a nice twist on who bill’s descendants are.  i guess i found book 2 interesting enough, but book 1 sat better with me.  i hear they get better so i’m sticking to it.  anyway, more fellowship of the sun please!  thanks.

tv notes:  i’m working on it.  i’ve watched approximately 2.5 episodes which rejuvenates my interest in the books.  so i need a little bit of this to want a little bit of that.
