Even though Ray is not thrilled with this author, and even the books are kind of lengthy, I decided to read this book and the others in the series after watching the tv show on HBO. For many of the tv episodes, I was even kind of bored, but the last episode hooked me, and suddenly, I'm a bit of a George R.R. Martin fan. It's not that he's an extraordinary writer, but he does have a very unique vision. The series was kind of confusing because of the number of characters and the complexity of the mythology, so one of my purposes in reading the book was to clarify some questions.
I did enjoy the book, but it was kind of slow for me because the tv series followed it so closely. This is the book I was reading when I left for Europe, and despite all my time at airports, buses, and hotel rooms, I only finished it today.

"Dead in the Family" by Charlaine Harris
Enjoyable quick read. Though I find that each of the True Blood books does get boring after awhile. It would probably help if I didn't read spoilers on the web, and know most of the salient plot points before I even start the book. Same goes for the tv series. I'm addicted to spoilers, sigh.
