I truly enjoy this series and heartily recommend this latest multi-layered addition. This book is a murder mystery about the crucifixion of Sookie's estranged were-panther sister-in-law and a tale of survival when Sookie becomes the target in a war between two faerie factions. These two story lines, with the help of a few plot twists, are ingeniously interconnected and thrillingly concluded. The romantic sub-plot (which begins a relationship between Sookie and Eric and ends with Sookie's last minute doubts about Bill) is also a fun and interesting read. Personally, I hope her relationship with Eric continues for awhile. Although Sookie has not yet realized who she really loves, I have no doubt that her 'true love' will be revealed at the series' end. Until then, I'm happily, (although a bit impatiently), along for the ride.
Occasionally, the story's flow is slightly slowed by extraneous events (see below)*; however, overall reading enjoyment is not diminished. Further, unresolved issues concerning the FBI and Sookie's half-fae great uncle linger at book's end. Although unessential to solving the mystery, these unsettled matters tend to niggle any reader who prefers 'end of book' answers to all questions.
As regards the Eric vs. Bill dilemma, IMO Bill and Sookie have been done to death. Bill will fight to the death for Sookie, but in Dallas he pursued the humans leaving Sookie unprotected while Eric took a bullet for her. Plus, Bill has always disregarded Sookie's monetary needs, (like her potholed driveway), while perversely providing economic independence for his distant and clueless descendants. In contrast, even when uninvolved with Sookie, Eric was attentive to her economic needs and tried to help her to the greatest extent she would allow. Most importantly, Eric has never really been in-love and he doesn't really know what Sookie means to him. In the distant past he cared for his family, but he never had a love relationship. He doesn't know what it means when he wonders why he hasn't had 'enough' of Sookie even after a night of lovemaking, and that is pretty intriguing. On the other hand, when Sookie asked Bill to emotionally commit to her in the past, Bill responded by telling her that he had already lived and loved during his human life. (Note, I'm not even counting Bill's presumably involuntary break-up with Skokie at the direction of his maker, and his sudden disappearance from her life. Plus, it's impossible to forget Bill's 'car trunk' rape and mauling of Sookie, as well as his failure to reveal that he had been ordered to befriend and seduce her.) Of course, there's always Sam. He loves Sookie and, as an added bonus, he's actually alive.
*(Unnecessary/unresolved subjects include: Octavia's immaterial household presence and departure; Sam's inconsequential out-of-state trek and family problems; the FBI's superfluous and unresolved involvement; Quinn's pointless and brief appearance; Hunter's clairvoyance issues; the seemingly useless knowledge about the unavenged killing of Sookie's parents; the inexplicable behavior and questionable motivation and whereabouts of Sookie's half-fae great uncle; and the diverting but unessential public 'shapeshifter' reveal.)Show Less

Let me start by saying I'm a huge fan of Mrs. Harris' work (not just the Southern Vampire series). She is one of the few authors that I keep coming back too. I have almost always found her books entertaining and well-written. With that being said I would like to review Dead and Gone, the latest installment in the Sookie Stackhouse series. This book managed (in 320 pages)to take away everything that I have ever like about this series. Let me explain. One thing I like about the books is that they are told from Sookie's point of view. While this book does the same thing, it was horrible because there was hardly any dialogue. The book was mainly filled with her thinking...could've, would've, should've. Blah, I can do that myself and don't want to read about someone else doing it no matter how short the book is. Basically if this book were to be made into a movie it would fall under the silent film category. Secondly, while a lot of loose ends were tied up, there was hardly any plot at all. Yes, there was a murder, but haven't we come to expect a murder in this series by now (one way or another). There was also a war with the supernatural. Again, not the first time that's been done in this series. The war (if one can call it a war) didn't take place until close to the end of the book and was over within a couple of pages. It seemed to me that Mrs. Harris threw the war into the book because she realized after page 290 that her book was anticlimactic. Hopefully the real Mrs. Harris didn't write this. Any day now the publisher will issue a statement apologizing for the huge mistake. Then, the FBI will quit wasting time in this book and start investigating the real problem...who is this imposter claiming to be Charlaine Harris? To sum it up, I feel more than disappointed. Some of the characters are thrown in just to make some sort of appearance and our protagonist acts as if she will have a mental breakdown and end up in a straightjacket. I understand Sookie has been through a lot and feels strained. However, if that's the direction Mrs. Harris is going to take her personality I think it would be best to set the next book up in the Bahamas. Otherwise, Sookie won't be much use to us. In Hindsight, maybe I built this book up to much (I had a year) and I ended up setting my expectations so high that no matter what Mrs. Harris wrote I would've been disappointed. Then again, maybe the increase in fans, money and demands became to much for Mrs. Harris and this was the result. Maybe, it was both reasons.Show Less

Entertaining but felt rushed
Let me start by saying that I am a huge fan of the Sookie series. That being said, I was a little let down by this edition. It seemed to be lacking substance. The plot was too rushed. I wish Harris had spent a little more time on developing the story. The book could have been much longer, which would have allowed for more explanation. There are, as many have stated, a lot of characters. I didn't have a hard time keeping up, but some interactions were unnecessary (i.e. the Tara section). Overall, the book was good, but left me wanting more. This is the first time I felt robbed at the end. It lacked closure.

Not your typical Sookie novel
When I first started reading the Sookie Stackhouse novels I loved them. I have to say this book does not follow the typical Sookie personality. Well for that matter I even wondered if there was a new Eric put in the book b/c he was different also. I guess if your really into the Sookie story you will still want to continue but I honestly have to say when I recommend reading the series to friends, I will not be including this book in that recommendation.

Parellel Love
Dead and Gone was truly a good read. I anticipated the release of this novel and was not disappointed. I enjoyed the inclusion of the character & background additions. For someone who has been reading the series for awhile, it will offer welcomed answers to story elements that had puzzled me. I was also happy to see that Sookie is learning to stop taking crap off her brother and the Bon Temp community. I enjoy that Sookie's character is slightly changing. I have started to becomed disappointed with characters in other series novels who have drasticly changed Though it isn't clear to me how the Fae inclusion will pan out in following books, or the reason for Hunter's inclusion, I look forward to Harris' next novel.
In this novel Harris finally lets the reader get to know who the real Eric is. With each new novel, the reader is given little tidbits, but this is the first to actually give him a background. This novel gives the supernaturals more human qualities and the humans are portrayed more as monsters.
The parellel between Eric & Sookie is the best element of this novel. Eric is cold & Sookie is sweet, but somehow Harris shows how they both are learning about themselves, and love. And the reader gets to witness the change in both characters. And the chemistry between the two is very magnetic. If for no other reason the one-on-one dialogues between these two make this book a must read.7 out of 9 people found this review helpful.

I love Sookie Stackhouse but................
I love this series, and unlike a lot of peole who came to the series only after True Blood was shown on T.V. I've been following it since the very first. I fell in love with Bill when Sookie did, and I was just as star struck by Eric. I even cried when Sookie broke up with bill, and again I cried for poor broken hearted Quinn the weretiger. But underneath all of that love is a quite a bit of disappointment for this book. I hate the fact that after all this time Sookie can't seem to make up her mind about Bill and Eric, and she still takes all of Jason's crap, and Sam's too. It just seems that this book is a perfect example of a series that is kind of stuck. Sure in the past years a lot has happened, and the Author writes about so many changes in Sookie, but evey book is more of the same. Everyone either wants to sleep with Sookie or kill her, and she is torn between two, or three or four men. I love the author and I still love the series, and I waited in aticipation for this book but I can't say that I'll be doing the same for the next. i'll definately buy it, but I won't pre order and won't mark the days either.

What Happened?
I was highly anticipating the release of this book. I am a huge True Blood Series fan. I hate to day this but this book seriously lacked on everything. I think Harris took too much time "Explainning" previouse events and not enough time on anything else. the book did not get interesting util the last few chapters. By interesting I mean everything her books usually have. The shocking events, the heartwarming, anticipation, realization, and much more. So I ask: what happened? There were a lot of loose ends to amend that were not. I felt that the story was not well organized. I was seriousely disapointed. If you want to know what happened for the next book just ask someone. you won't miss much by not reading it. I hope the next one is better and makes up for this one.

disappointing :(
Was really looking forward to this book, but some how it just didn't seem quite right somehow. Paricularly disappointing was the Eric/Sookie love scene. It really seemed like something that got thrown in after the book was done, just to get it in. I hope the next book is better.

Bamboozled!
Ms. Harris and her publishers should be ashamed of putting out a quickly written novella and calling it a book. Then to insult fans further, expect us to purchase the remaining portion in October. I've watched so many authors sell out but Ms. Harris' track record was exemplary. She was one writer I always felt as though I would get my money's worth from... that's no longer the case.

ANOTHER EXCELLENT SOOKIE BOOK
After reading some of the negative reviews, I admit I was a little apprehensive about starting this book. But, after waiting and waiting for its release and finally getting it home yesterday, I have to say, I literally devoured it. I had it finished by 8:30 pm. It was absolutely excellent and well worth waiting for. I think Sookie's relationship with her two vampires is now so much more defined and exciting. It has a new depth and dimension. Charlaine Harris has done it again and done it very well, I might add. Excellent book. It was dramatic, and funny and very touching. I am totally waiting for the next book already !!!!!!!

Is this a joke?
The author seriously missed the mark on this. I was waiting eagerly for this instalment, and I had to force myself to finish. Sookie was annoying - even more so that she can tend to be. I found myself not caring about Bon Temps or Hot Shot at all, and how can it be that, after 9 books, Sookie remains right where she started? No progress, emotionally or otherwise? Also, I still am mystified as to what the central conflict was in this book; there were so many little ones, none of which made much sense. The publisher needs to EDIT this author properly. Many of the passages were ... non-essential, shall we say, and should have been culled. I was annoyed by this book. When the next one comes out, I'll get it from my local library.

Too Much Nonsense
Just finished Dead and Gone and wasn't thrilled. It almost reads as if someone else had written it. Does not feel like a Charlaine/Sookie kind of "flow". First of all e-v-e-r-y character ever created by Charlaine has resurfaced in this book...you need a score card to follow the plot. Only ONE love scene with Sookie and Eric and it was almost as if it had to be thrown in...not good at all. I won't spoil the plot and story lines for those who wish to read it - and it is still worth the read - but definitely NOT one of her better books. SORRY......

ENOUGH ALREADY.....!!
I started this series after reading the Twilight series because like many, I was still enthralled by the world of vampires. Although I was reluctant at first because the characters and story line are very different, I was very soon completely engrossed and I could not put the books down. The first few books were incredible, the plots have just the right balance of mystery,suspense,humor and romance to keep you on the edge of your seat. But as I read on, I find myself getting annoyed at the characters. It feels like the author keeps creating more scenarios for the sole purpose of keeping a story going that should have wrapped up a few hundred pages back. Also, I used to admire Sookie for her strenght and her resilience and she is always quoting her grandmothers favorite quotes from the bible. She considers herself a good person with sound moral values. However, it annoys me that she justifies her sexual behavior by saying that Bill introduced her to great sex so now if any male whom she finds attractive touches her, she cannot control herself. I am no prude and these books are not for prude people to begin with, but this is a bit much. Sookie has turned into a loose character with "big lust" as she puts it and if any man holds her hand it creates a "straight line to her hootchie", give me a break. Also, she used to be really conflicted about people getting killed and now she just figures, "better them than me". I am all for the plot taking unexpected paths, that is what good writing is all about, I just wish the characters would stay true to themselves. I feel like I dont even know them anymore. I wish Ms. Harris would wrap this story up already so I can find out who is it that Sookie wants to have sex with the most since she does not seem to be able to actually fall in love with anyone.

Not so thrilled.
I can't say this was a bad book. It actually starts pretty good, and we can see real evolution in every character. It starts as a natural progression from the book before, we get to know Eric better, but also Arlene, etc. My problem is really with the plot. It starts really good and strong, but there are a lot of loose ends in the story, a lot of things you don't see resolving, and towards the end, you really don't know where you are headed, and I'm not talking abouut the thrill at the end that'll make you bite your nails 'till the next book comes out. I'm talking 'what tha...' kind of scenario here. And I don't like to see a broken Sookie, if she's anything is strong.

This Book is DEAD AND GONE from my library collection.
I love the series! I couldn't wait for book 9 to come out but after reading and finishing it, I could have waited another year. We have grown to love the relationship between Sookie and Eric and this book lacks that. She keeps the reader wanting more but not in a good way. Her writing style is utterly confusing in this book. She skips from thought progression and live moments awkwardly and confusing at times. One minute Sookie is thinking about making a sandwich and the next she is on the phone with some one....(Sequence not actually in the book but you get the picture). I was left having to reread back sentences to figure out what just happened and where I got lost. I'd have to say that the most disappointing "action" sequence from the book was towards the end during (SPOILER) Sookies torture time. Charlaine never really reaches a climactic point for me in the book. This would have been an excellent moment for that..During this sequence she tells the reader that Sookie was being tortured (rather than explain) and then has the reader back in when she's rescued. I would have loved to have felt something during those few chapters but alas, nothing. I'm left feeling nothing from the whole book.

Very disappointing
This book was a real disappointment in the series. I've been a huge fan and gotten a bunch of other people hooked on the series but I feel like this one was more of a draft than a finished story. At the end I was left thinking "Is this it? All we get?" The characters are great but just didn't ring true to me. Plot elements and story development lagged and then were incredibly rushed. It just felt very haphazard and unfinished. Sorry to say that I don't think I'll be rushing out to get the next book right away. I haven't given up on the series but it may have dropped back a few notches in my mind.

Loved it, but too short!
I was soo happy to get this book, I read it in one day! Of course the characters were great and I really liked some of the plot twists, it felt kind of anti-climatic when the end came. I was saddened by the plot lines for some interesting characters (I won't ruin it).
All in all it was like eating three potato chips... just not enough! Which in my opinion is a compliment for Ms. Harris, I'm a Sookie junkie! GET ME ANOTHER ONE QUICK GIRL!
Until then if you need a vamp fix without the whimsy... try any of the butt kickin' Anita Blake novels by Laurell K. Hamilton, the first is Guilty Pleasures. ...Or the baddaz witch Rachel Morgan novels by Kim Harrison, yes us goofballs can kick azz too!3 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

A bit Disappointing
Okay, so don't get me wrong. I usually LOVE the Sookie books, but this one just wasn't up there with some of the others. I got done reading it and felt like nothing happened. There wasn't very much excitement. Nothing extremely important was accomplished. The weres came out, but nothing really became of that. Perhaps I'll read it again and my outlook will change, but it doesn't seem likely. Sadly enough, maybe Sookie is caput. Or maybe I just got so excited about this book that it just wasn't worth the hype and wait. I will give it another chance.
