...Yeah. I mean, this is pretty much exactly right.
I found the series first, loved it madly, and (of course) sought the books out for more of the same. It was more than a little disappointing. Compared to what HBO is doing with these characters, Harris is flat and uninteresting and FAR too L.K. Hamilton for my tastes. I want to hear about Tara's misadventures, and Jason's dumb luck, and get hints of Eric's backstory. I emphatically DO NOT want to hear about Sookie's unending quest to have sex in every room of Bill's house (though somehow they manage to make even that relationship interesting in season 3).
Apparently Jessica isn't even in the books? She's one of the best things about the series, and to me she kind of sums up the difference. (Shan't say more, because I'm not sure if you have gotten to Jessica yet.)
