I Just Read: Club Dead by Charlaine Harris

Club Dead by Charlaine Harris

My review

rating: 2 of 5 stars
The plot of this book was entertaining, continuing to excite me about the direction of the “True Blood” series on HBO. However, Harris’ writing continues to leave much to be desired. A 300-page book simply should not use the phrase “that’s another word I learned from my Word-of-the-Day calendar” more than once, much less what was at least 6 times, and maybe up to a dozen by Harris in this book.



I also feel like she contradicts herself in her characterization of Sookie. On the one hand, you have the non-stop Word-of-the-Day references that make Sookie seem quite simple and relatively uneducated. On the other hand, Sookie immediately recognizes the bouncer at the bar as a goblin. C’mon…



I have to move on to a more well-written book next or I’ll lose my patience entirely with this box set.
