Very Very disappointed.......
Rating:
I have to agree with the general "negative" reviews, I was very disappointed. I love the series and when I read the last book (8) I couldn't wait for book nine. My friend bought it and was still in the middle of another book (different author) so she let me borrow Dead and Gone to read first, I couldn't wait I was so excited. Then the big let down......... no solid continuation from the last book. The only consistent story line was the Were murder. Not to mention the errors and inconsistencies relating to the last books, wow.......very disappointing. After reading it I was like Ha??? I returned it to my friend and didn't shell out the money to complete my collection. Dead and Gone is a great title....... but the book.....it seems the SS story we all know and love is truly "DEAD and GONE" =-(
Fantastic! Lots of action!

I dont' get what all the negative reviews are about. I really enjoyed this book, as I have all the Sookie Stackhouse books. I only wish this one had been longer; I got to the end way too fast. I love that Sookie and Eric are finally getting somewhere; its about time. So I hope that continues. Otherwise I just couldn't agree with the other reviews about the excess of violence, etc. I found a couple of editorial issues in the text, but what book doesn't have a few of those. I found them easy to ignore and "fix" in my mind as I read. I think this is one of the best in series yet. Can't wait for the next one! Keep 'em coming Ms. Harris!
Dead and Gone
Rating:
I thought this book was really good .I could not put it done as well as the other True Blood books . They will keep you guessing and always woundering if Sookie will be with Bill or Eric. I can not wait for book 10 to get here in May.
Page turner, light read, lots of fun!
Rating:
I love this series and thought this book was one of the more interesting of the recent volumes. I really enjoy Eric/Pam/Bill and like the plot lines that keep them more engaged with the series. This book did not disappoint.
On the topic of series canon, I really didn't experience any "what?!?" moments with this book. I come from the Star Trek universe where canon is law and often ends up being a stranglehold on new ideas. I think Harris has a plenty good enough grasp on her own universe.
Keeps getting better and better
Rating:
This book is really great. I have to say that on a personal note, my favorite book is still book four, but the writing of Charlaine just keeps getting better, and the story lines just keep getting more interesting. I am glad this book was about weres, shapeshifter, and fairies, but it still was able to balance the vampire theme appropriately. It basically shows that in Charlaine's universe, all the supernatural are peeps. When I read the synopsis of all the books before I decided on whether to take on the series or not (I like the tv show and wanted to know what may happen next), I was taken back by the introduction of fairies and thought it was too much. However, when I read the entire series, I saw how it was was well done and balanced, and actually believable for that universe. There are a few inconsistencies here and there throughout the series, but Charlaine acknowledges them and is trying to prevent them in the future. I am so glad she created this series. It is so thrilling.
