A Touch of Dead by Charlaine Harris
The editor wants 5 reviews this month. I have one day left to start and finish a book. From the dozens that are waiting, what do I pick? Well Charlaine Harris is never going to challenge the intellect and make me work hard, so that was the choice. And a good choice too. It only took an hour!
This is a collection of short stories based on the Sookie Stackhouse character now made famous by the TV series True Blood. The stories use all the favourite characters from the books, and the action takes place between the events in the various books. This is blatantly a book for the Sookie fans.
And why was it so quick to read? The book is less than 200 pages long, with illustrations and large print. There is literally nothing to it. Five short stories. If you are looking for a Christmas present for the diehard Sookie Stackhouse fan, then this is a must for the Christmas list, but be warned that it isn’t worth the money.
My suggestion – hold off until after Christmas when there will be hundreds of copies on sale as remainders.
