2009 book 102

Charlaine Harris' Dead and Gone
The ninth Sookie Stackhouse book didn't really impress me--the series has been losing steam for a while now, focusing more on politics b/w various groups of supernaturals and not really on the protagonist. It all feels kind of like fan-fiction--lots of romantic drama, not a lot of actual plot. Plus there are way too many secondary and tertiary characters, and the ancillary mystery wasn't interesting or imbued with any kind of narrative tension. In a word, meh. I'll still watch the tv show though. C.
