Comments (optional - but try to keep it under 3000 words!)

This is book number eleven in the Sookie Stackhouse series (“Trueblood” for the boob tube crowd) and there is still no sign of staleness setting in.  Sookie continues to be one of the most compelling “first person” narrators in popular fiction, and the secondary characters in these novels continue to fascinate.  The cause of her mind-reading ability finally comes to light, and several key issues that have been plaguing her get resolved.  In the next book we will presumably get to meet the vampire King of Nevada/Lousiana/etc. and the vampire Queen of Oklahoma.  It promises to be an awesome next-to-last book in a truly great series!
