| Quinn, Bill, Sookie, Eric & Alcide |
... Well, truth be told, I LOVE the books, but I only like the tv-series. It's ok, but not great, at least not anymore. But there are some things are so much fun that I can't stop watching it. Since I've been comparing the two since True Blood started, I decided to write about it here. ^_^
(If someone read's this later, this is written when the book "Deadlocked" was out and the series was in season 5, episode 10)
The following includes some seriously huge spoilers for both Tv-series and the books!
There's only one book left and I've read all the ones that are released (3 times) and gonna write about them all, so no looky if you don't wanna get spoiled. =D I'm gonna go through this using the characters because the storylines of both stories are just too complicated to write about here... and so different that there is almost nothing to compare anymore. Let's start with the main characterSookie Stackhouse
Books: 1/8 faery, telepath, barmaid, wife and lover of Eric Northman, religious, conscientious, smiles crazily when she's nervous, loves to tan. Has dated (and slept with) Bill, Quinn and Eric. Never got anywhere with Alcide though he wished it.
tv-series: 1/4 faery, telepath, barmaid, not currently dating anyone, but has had a relationship with Bill and Eric (when his memory was lost). Almost had sex with Alcide. Giggles and laughs a lot, seems a bit ditsy.
Jason Stackhouse
Books: A bitten Werepanther, changes every full moon, in a serious relationship, was married for a while with Crystal. Also 1/8 faery but doesn't show it other than being very attractive to women. A flirt, doesn't take things seriously, not very smart and doesn't think things trough.
tv-series: Has had many many relationships, joined The Fellowship of the Sun church (as a soldier to kill vampires), was kidnapped and raped repeatedly by the werepanthers but never turned into one, is now a police officer. Not very smart, often stupid and slow, very handsome, a sex maniac but has a soft heart at times.
