Search for a Mystery: Sookie Stackhouse Companion

If you are a follower and supporter of the Charlaine Harris series, AVOID THIS BOOK!!!! I was pleasantly surprised that I got the book so quickly when I requested it from the library. When I started the book I realized why. There is one short story in the beginning, followed by a cliff notes summary  on all the previous True Blood book series. Then summary of menu at Merlotte's Bar, with recipes. There was then a Q&A with Author Harris.

Also there was a Q&A with the Butcher of the True Blood series on HBO. It  was obvious that he had never read all of any book version. He missed the existence of Bubba, an integral protective aspect of Sookie (Thank you very much, uh huh). I was surprised that Ms. Harris allowed him in her book after he killed off many of the integral characters of the book series in his 3rd HBO season.

Obviously no one following the HBO version remembers the daytime drama of the 70's Another World. Jamie in the series was a Publisher, was off for three shows and returned as a Doctor. Jason (Sookie's Brother) expressed an interest in a career in the Police near the end of the 3rd series and by the beginning of the 4th he was Chief of Police.

Obviously my fault for not quick reading more of the book when I saw it at Barnes & Noble.
