Fans of the Sookie Books Will Enjoy

A nice recap of all(?) the books. A short story. Fan questions with the author and Alan Ball. Those parts of this book are enjoyable.You don’t need to hear this to have closure on the series.

Going Down

I have been a fan since book one. Lately it's been getting dark in Sookie's world. I wounder if "True Blood" has something to do with this? A little stalling here? I miss Quinn. What do you think? Good part in this book is the Quinn part. I did wounder about him. He remembered her birthday in latest book. Trouble everywhere. Oh My.

I needed a recap.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I liked the simple recap of the Sookie stories.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Sookie Stackhouse Companion?

As I said, it's all a recap.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I love Sookie. Her stories make me happy.

Great

Would you consider the audio edition of The Sookie Stackhouse Companion to be better than the print version?

Yes, I own both and although I started with the print version it is so nice to hear everything through narration.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Well since this is the companion I enjoyed the question and answer section with Charlaine.

Which scene was your favorite?

Question and answer section when they read the question I submitted :-)

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

no, its a companion. However I think Charlaine did an excellent job creating this companion.

Any additional comments?

My only issue with this is the narrators for Pam and Eric. They did not try to emulate the appropriate accents, instead they did southern twang accents... that was a little irritating.

Difficult to rate...

Most of this book flip flops between storytelling and interviews and timelines.
The timeline section is very very dry.
But it is also very helpful. Would have liked to have seen a little bit more Storytelling in the book.

great to hear it all in order with the secret discussions to help us get in the minds of Bill and Eric. and the authors motivations. I feel like Sookie is a beloved niece who I see daily and discuss get escapades. thanks to all who made this happen!

Waste of time and money

There is a new novella in this collection, so that was enjoyable. But the rest of this book is just summaries of the Sookie Stackhouse books and short stories. Who wants to read or listen to that?

It Is What It Is.

This book is a companion to the series. It is not meant to be a novel in and of itself. The negative reviews I have been seeing are actually pretty laughable, because they are complaining about the fact that they wasted a credit on something like this. Only die-hard Sookieverse people should use a credit on a COMPANION book. That said, it was pretty well-presented for the type of book that it is, and the inclusion of the novella was a nice touch. I had been looking for that slice in the storyline of Sookie and Sam. I will miss the series when it is over, and will have to get my fix of Bon Temps from True Blood.
