Especially the part about having more than 12 episodes! I have also read the books and I watch every episode twice. And I have already pre-ordered the Season 2 DVD set. Yup, I'm hooked by both mediums. Many thanks to truebloodnet.com for allowing us to express how we feel about the series.

The differences between the books and show keep me glued to the set and constantly rereading the books so i dont confuse the story lines :)... ok watching the show has been mezmorizing with all of the twists of plot and seeing beloved characters fleshed out. With the books we all had our own vission of the manerisms, looks, and voice of the characters. With the show we are seeing someone elses vision on the world of BonTemps. My only wish is they expand from the 12 episode season :) Congrats to all; cast, crew, and the writers!

The books are a great fun read and I've read all 9 twice. I love the show equally - maybe even more. I applaud the work Alan Ball has done to keep the characters I know "true enough" to the book characters while also giving me unbelievably good tv. I also applaud the actors who have given such depth already great characters. Without some big changes like Godric as Eric's maker, Lorena making an early entrance, Jessica - we wouldn't have this wonderfully layered vampire family dynamics story that's playing out. Would you give that up? I wouldn't. Oh, and no Lafayette. :-) I for one love both.
