Winged Rivers

Alright, so last night had to leave work 'cause of some TERRIBLE back pain. DX I tried to go through it, but at eight, I practically cried thinking of having to stand and move around for another two and a half hours. I'm so thankful to my manager who was like "yes yes, thanks for staying as long as you did BUT GO HOME".

So, refusing to sleep in our bed as we don't have a box spring thingy (it broke), I was like COUCH. Settling in so that I didn't hurt too much, I put on my MP3 player and opened up the Dead Until Dark book.

Overall, I'm incredibly satisfied. It was well written and aside from my previous pet peeve (FAT CHARACTERS ARE AUTOMATICALLY DUMB OR LAZY, WHOOT. *anger*), I really really enjoyed it.

But... I find that I prefer the TV series. While DUD the book read great, had character development, and a decent story, DUD the TV series felt more fleshed out with more attention to the side characters and more characters in general. Not to mention Sookie cares more for her bro than in the book. XD It just seemed that the mystery in the Southern vampire mystery took the back burner while in the TV show you get more of a sense of impending doom about it. Although the TV series has a bit too much sex for my liking. I mean, other than huzzah for more FEMALE fanservice, they really pound it in that Jason is a horndog.

But yeah, while reading I was like "...man, I miss Tara!" XD I'm glad randomsome1 got me to watch and my co-worker was so nice and lent me the first book. Onto the second!!

*goes to doll meeting all happy as can be*
