- The best one yet.
Sookie gets better with each book. I can't
wait to see what HBO does with the series.

- Still a winner
I have read the critics of this installment of the series, and see where they are coming from. However, I enjoyed the various story lines. I thought it was a nice switch and made me eager to read the next book in the series. I was worried that this series was turning into the Anita Blake series, where every book after Obsidian Butterfly, was the same story but with different names. I would not recommend reading this book as the first in the series, but I felt it delivered.

- Could've Used A Plot Transfusion To Perk It Up
I enjoy this series as much as the next person, am excited to see the series, 'Tru Blood' next month on HBO, but felt this particular book was pretty average. My problem with it was that the series are called Southern Vampire Mysteries, and this didn't have much of one. Yes Sookie finds some personal things out, and there's a murder or two, but like most everything in this book it all seems like random background noise. Characters that were integral before, now waltz on for one or two scenes that do nothing really to propel the plot, and instead just seem to help establish they're still around. Specifically Bill, Tara, and Jason. Look, for fans it's not a bad book, it just feels like a coda to the previous installment, and besides setting up what I assume will be a future plot point at the very end, the rest feels slightly, well, anemic.

- A Wonderful Installment in an Excellent Series
If you are new to the series I would not recommend starting here. Current readers will really enjoy this installment in the series. There are not one, or two, but at least four plotlines at work in this novel, and you get full resolution for each. From Dead to Worse is longer than Harris' previous novels to contain all the action and plot twists. I'm not sure I understand why some reviewers find this novel worthy of less than 5 stars, this is one of the best Southern Vampire novels to date.

From Dead to Worse deals with the economic and political fallout following the destruction caused by hurricane Karina. Both the vampires and the werewolves are in precarious positions...the weres have undergone a recent change in leadership and are left unstable by the power struggle, and the vamps have suffered severe economic losses. Both parts of the supernatural community are vulnerable, and there are outside ... Read More
