Rachel's review
From Dead to Worse (Sookie Stackhouse, Book 8)
by Charlaine Harris
I don't think i could have said that any better. I felt a lot of the same things about the book.
I dunno. I wanted to smack her the whole time she's talking to Quinn. She never gave him a chance to hear him out why he never got in a phone call. She doesn't know the whole story, and he is too proud to whine to her. He feels responsible even if he isn't, so he won't tell her all the reasons why ti isn't his fault. He respects her opinion too much to challenge her when she seems to have already made up her mind. She's seeing things her way (he didn't call therefore I'm not important), and he's seeing things his way (she must never have loved me or she'd understand). He's a typical guy, and she's being an idiot. That's my humble opinion.

So I liked this book, but I also disliked this book. I think this is the most confused I've been about a book ever.
I really enjoyed being in the Sookie-verse again, and I always enjoy Harris' writing style. I got to see all my old favorites and meet some new people. Sookie is getting a backbone, which is good, and during her whole talk with Quinn, I was screaming "You go girl!" because face it everyone wants to be someone's only one. I mean he should have called her after leaving the hospital to say "Hey, my mom's gone crazy so I got to go save her. I'll be in touch. Love you. Smooches." That's all he had to say to her, but did he? No. Stupid boy.
But the reason I didn't like this book is that there is no central plot other than Sookie figuring out that life is complicated and people are complicated. Nobody fits in a perfect "best friend" box or a perfect "boyfriend material" box. Also, is it me or does she have way too many g...more
