Read: Charlaine Harris - Dead Until Dark

The somewhat limited options of ebooks available at the Toronto Public Library gave me the excuse to finally check out the Charlaine Harris series on which the tv show "True Blood" is based. I wasn't expecting too much, but they were still surprisingly bland. The dialogue that comes to life with rich characterization and baroque settings on the tv show is too terse and plain to have any life on the page. I won't bother to read the next book in the series - it really was a waste of time.
