Why or why not? ![]() No idea I was buying Erotica- it should be labled! Sookie is quite a difficult character to give voice to I think - she has to seem moral without seeming prissy, and to resist the attention of various gorgeous men without seeming prudish - and Parker really pulls it off. Credit must also go to the reader of the audiobook, Johanna Parker. Yes, they are quite formulaic in some ways, but Harris has some neat tricks up her sleeve and can write comedy, romance and action scenes effectively. But the books themselves are also richer than initially gave them credit for, and the length works well for audio. For a start it's fascinating to see what changes have been made between book and TV show, and it certainly helps that I can now visualise all the wonderful characters from the show (partly because the novel is in the first person, some of the supporting characters are not as fully fleshed as on the TV show). Having watched the TV series, though, I decided to give the audio books a try and I'm absolutely gripped. In print, it's a fairly short read and I just didn't find the romance between Bill and Sookie all that compelling. While I didn't hate it, I didn't really love it either. I first read 'Dead Until Dark' some years ago. ![]()
