The one terrible thing about ebooks and audiobooks is that they're too damned easy to buy! At least with paper books, you have to either A) order them online and then wait a while for them to arrive, thus reducing the chances of going on a wild spending spree, or B) put on your coat and go into town to buy them in a bookshop, where the prospect of

I agree with 85% of what you say. I think Eric mellows a bit in the later books, and the book Pam is a lot different to TV Pam IMO.

Jason is a class A dumb-arse IMO. At least by the last book he's starting to grow up a little bit.

I really hated the TV menead story line, a whole lot of blood, gore and stupidity just to titillate viewers IMO.

Yes, Eric seems to mellow a bit in the latter books, but I suspect it won't last. He obviously cares for Sookie, but he's too pragmatic to let it affect his sense of self preservation unduly.

To be honest, I don't think we've had enough of TV Pam to figure out how different she is from the book version. Yes, she seems to be more lazy and vain in the series, but that is only a first impression.

Jason: there is a difference between acting stupid (books) and being stupid (TV)

As for the Menead storyline in the series - I agree, it could have been so much better but, on the other hand, I think the series has dealt with the Sons of God stuff much better!

What I love about book!Pam is that she is so adorably alien. She really had difficulty empathising with humans, but she tries to connect with Sookie - partly because she values her as an ally, and partly because she understands Sookie is important to Eric. There is an element of affection, but if she had to choose between her or Eric...

Well, yeah...

as for secondary characters - personallly, I'm rather glad they cut down on the amount of weres or shifters in the TV series, it could have got a bit crowded.

I adore the books, as for the TV series I can take it or leave it and I'd really rather leave it.
