Sookie Stackhouse Boxed Set (the series that True Blood is based on)
Amazon.com: Sookie Stackhouse Boxed Set (Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood): Charlaine Harris: Books
Because so many people have become aware of these books as a result of
the TV series, a word about the differences between the two is in
order. There are both definite similarities and some sharp differences
between the two. The books focus much more on Sookie and less on the
lives of the supporting characters, not surprising given that Sookie is
the narrator in the novels. Sookie's narrative voice is for me one of
the joys of the books and I miss that very personal perspective when I
watch the TV series. The books are also far less sexual than the
series, though there are several sex scenes (though it never descends
to the pure porn found in the Anita Blake books). The series differs
sharply from the books when it deals with characters other than Sookie.
For instance, Tara in the books is a minor (and white) character. Jason
plays a far smaller role. Just about everything touching Tara and Jason
cannot be found in the novels. Sam and Tara are not involved. Without
giving spoilers, Lafayette cannot be regarded as an important character
in the books. On the other hand, Eric is as important as the other
three main characters in the books, Sookie, Bill, and Sam. Still, based
on all but the last 2 or 3 episodes of Season One of the TV show,
Sookie's story there is pretty close to that is the first novel in the
sequence.
