I read this book in one day, so yeah, you could say I liked it. I don't usually tear through a book that quickly unless I'm interested in it.

I bought this book after seeing the first episode of True Blood during our cable's HBO free preview. I was surprised about how accurate the first episode was to the beginning of the book. I wish I hadn't seen the episode, because it would've been nice to be able to picture the characters myself without having Anna Paquin and Steven Moyer pop into my head the whole time. That being said, I want to read the rest of the series and then go back and watch the shows, maybe renting when the season comes out or something.

This book was much better than I expected, fast paced but easy to follow, turns that keep you surprised and a main character that I really liked. I guess so soon after reading Twilight I was a little weary, but this is nothing like Twilight in any sense of the word. Thankfully.

Both the book and the show seem to be good, but I would suggest reading the book first, and then watching the show. It's easier to imagine if you don't already have pictures there.
