Good Read, wished for a bit more......
Hooked, I am in love with the series. I started with the first, then second, and ended up bying the box set. Just finished up with #9, waiting on pins and needles for #10. Everytime I would pick up the next booked, I hope for more romance, although it seemed perfect ...Read More
Hooked, I am in love with the series. I started with the first, then second, and ended up bying the box set. Just finished up with #9, waiting on pins and needles for #10. Everytime I would pick up the next booked, I hope for more romance, although it seemed perfect in the first book, the more I got into the series I was left wishing Harris added a bit more moosh. The series is very exciting and kept me on my toes, knowing Sookie is the only women in the world that can find that kind of trouble. It has it's passionate moments, but I ALWAYS wanted more. All in all I am in love with Harris and her writing, easy read, great character development, I read this before I started in on the HBO series. Love the books more than the series....but I am interested in the HBO series to see where and how they pull from the books.
Suggest anyone that loved the Twighlight series from Meyer, but is over the age of 18, to read this. Addictive and exciting.

I agree with the previous poster; why is the paperback cheaper than the eReader?!
I just got my nook today and this was the first thing I wanted to download. Yet it's cheaper to get the physical books instead of electronically receiving it?! Wow, how ridiculous.

Cost more for ebook than real book?
Seems like if they are not printing it out it should be at least the same if not cheaper on ebooks so I am not buying them even though I heard they are really good until they come down in price for the ebooks!

Cost more for ebook set?
Not only does the ebook set cost more than the physical books... But to buy 1-8 in ebook form separately is $55.92 (6.99*8)... Still cheaper than this "set". Please explain yourselves B&N. And please don't use the "it's the publisher that sets the price" excuse, because that's complete bullocks and we all know it.

Price is unfair
I agree with the last two posts, It's ridiculous that the price of the eBook is almost $20 more than the paperback copies. It cost them money to make the paperbacks, the eBooks have no cost per copy. I understand everyone it entitled to make money on the things they sell but it insane to buy something digital when you can have the real book for less money that cost more to make.

8 book set
I have a nook which I love and one of the things I wanted to down load was the sookie satckhouse 8 book set, now i have all the books (10) in paper back/ hardcover .. but the e book price is ridiculous !! You can get the e books at amazon for 33.00 if you had the kindle..makes me want to get their new kindle for $139.00 because most of their books are cheaper and they have a lot more free books.. much as I love my nook..some of the book costs are way out of line. you are better off getting a paper back or hardcover (its cheaper) !!

deliciously addicting
I didn't like the 1st two as much, but then perhaps I was biased from the 1st two episodes of True Blood on TV. When I started reading the series, some of the things the characters said were glaringly stupid/corny/lame. But as I continued I was pulled into Sookie's story more and more; either I didn't notice lame lines anymore or Charlaine Harris' writing got better.
Basically, the story is deliciously addicting but the writing can be bad at times.4 out of 6 people found this review helpful.

Sookie Stackhouse Box Set- Amazing
If you are a fan of anything vampire, you will love owning this boxed set of the Sookie Stackhouse books. The books are great and will keep you wanting more. Sookie is a quirky girl with a "disability" that puts her in unpredicatable situations. I highly recommend this series for all you vampire lovers out there!

Another B&N Rip Off!!! Costs nearly $20 more than the paperback boxed set. I'd go with the paperbacks on this one.
LOVE the series. Yes, the ideas behind the characters might be a little out of the ordinary but the world is real and fully created. If you love the True Blood series then you will devur this as it is even better. It's the characters as the authr riginally intended and I prefer them to the show.
I've been waiting to but this set for a while now and when I finally go to purchase it I find the price has skyrocketed. It used to be just about the sme as the cost of the paperback boxset. Well, not anymore. Thank you B&N for alienating more people going digital. I could barely afford the ereader and now that I have it I can't afford the books. Well, I guess I'm sticking to downloading free books and borrowing from the library. I don't even have access to your 3G network so really thanx for nothing.3 out of 4 people found this review helpful.

my only wish is that it was in hardcover...
I absolutely fell in love with this series. Sookie is a good heroine who is not perfect and Harris writes that humanity well. There is so much going on in the books that they completely captivate your attention and this series does NOT drag on. Very well written and intelligent, flowing with wit and humor...this series is a keeper.

I would recommend these books!!
The series of Sookie Stackhouse was not only original and very entertaining, they were exciting and gave me the opportunity to "escape" my present day problems. I thoroughly enjoyed every one of the books and finished them almost too fast. I could not wait to get to the next page to see what happened. I tried to hold off reading the next book after finishing the previous one, but my willpower was weak, and I could not bear not knowing what was going to happen next. I would and have recommended these books to anyone. Especially those who watch TrueBlood series. It gives faces to the characters and you can imagine them more vividly actually doing the things Ms.Harris writes about. Loved them, loved them,and loved them.

Great to take a break from the real world!
While vampires are the fad right now in literature, Charlaine takes it a step further & includes creatures that expand your fantasy world even further. Sookie & her world of vamps, maenads, fairies and a few normal folk will take you out of our every day rut and into a world where you'll forget about anything else.
It's a super simple read, but gives you enough storyline to keep the wheels in your head turning. Fantasy inter-twined with mystery, romance & action - it's just the best of everything.
Make sure you have time set aside when you start this series - you won't be able to put these books down!2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

Let's Just Say I Read the Series Through Twice in a Row, Right Away
This series is probably one of the best line if books I have ever read. They just got better and better as you go on, and you can realte to the characters - even though most of them are supernatural. I spent every spare second I had reading. I was turned on to reading the books after adoring the True Blood HBO Series. I loved the series, and if any of you know how good that is, then you know how much it means when I say the books were better! Even the Twilight series pales in comparison to the Sookie Stackhouse novels.

Sookie Stackhouse 8-volume Set
This set is a must have for anyone who enjoys vampire novels or just a thrilling ride. A friend of mine had me read the series and once I was finished I had to purchase them myself. After debating where to make my purchase, always looking for the best deal, it turned out that this new set was the best buy.
Makes a perfect gift for a loved one and especially for yourself!2 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

Pricey
Why have a box set available when it is the same price to piece them out? I'll buy them as I go.

too expensive
I guess we have to read public domain free books until B&N realizes it's overpricing ebooks.

READ THE BOOKS PEOPLE!
The books are way better and different than the show. The show has its momments, but the books...frankly, there is no comparrison. The books rule. If you adore the show, you may be dissappointed in the books, but if you enjoy reading you know these things happen and how changes are made to cater to a different audiance. Take the time to read the first two or three books. I dont think you will be sorry. Oh and the books and charries are full of humor. One also features Eric clad in pink spandex. Bless Ms. Harris for creating characters I love to love!

Charlaine Harris is a very talented wrighter.
I really enjoied all of the Sookie Stackhouse books to date. The author is very creative in her wrighting style and in the interaction between the charicters is very realistic. I would definatly reccomend all of them to anyone who enjoies dark romantic books in the teen and young adults genre.

Great Fun!!
The Sookie Stackhouse books are great fun for anyone looking for a little mental dessert. There are few greater pleasures (in my opinion!!) than a book that keeps you up way past bedtime because you simply cannot bear to leave the story alone for all the hours of sleeping and real life. None of the books in this 8-book series are what I would classify as "great literature." They are not deep, nor terribly thought-provoking. But they are wonderfully fun, pleasurable, and entertaining. As much as I love Cormac McCarthy and Dave Eggers, sometimes I need to read something that does not compel me towards any further contemplation beyond the pure joy of entering someone else's bizarre, entertaining life. Having a "thing" for vampires, these books were definitely worth my time!

Charlaine Harris is #1
I don't care what anyone says, Charlaine Harris is a GOD!!! Twilight who????? She is such a gifted write/story teller. If you are looking for an interesting, funny, witty, captivating, lovely, vampire series...then look no further! I am counting down the days for book #10 to be released. Love Love Love Sookie Stackhouse!
