I like AB's Lorena better than Book Lorena.
Techsavvy Bill cracks me up for some reason. I understand that they would learn technology the longer they're on Earth. But Bill knowing how to work a computer just seems wrong for some reason. It's almost as comical as Eric and Bill texting each other on the show.

TechyBill - at least he had a storyline of his own that didn't revolve around Sookie. TV Bill needs something of his own pronto.
You have some nice Eric goodness in that one. In fact Bill is only in the beginning and the end of the book. The rest of Eric and Alcyde.
I liked it for the most part. But the outfit descriptions - oh God. detachable sleeves?
I agree that TV Lorena is so much better. And Debbie Pelt could kiss my ass. hate her.

Lorena is better on the show then in Club Dead. She is more developed showise then bookwise. The start of Eric/Sookie really happens in this book. They have moe interaction. The introduction of new characters. I really enjoyed this book.

I'm definitely seeing more Eric in the book. Right now Sookie & Alcide just went to Club Dead & are now back at Alcide's apartment where Eric shows up. I'm picturing ASkars & AP in the book & with the book characters I pick up a definite sexual tension with those two that if AB is writing to put them together I want to see this build like I am in the books right now. It doesn't have to go down just like the books but I want to see it happen.
I've heard that they are writing Debbie into season 3 I think so I wonder if they will be introducing the Missippi monarch & crowd.

Yeah, I liked all the snippets of Eric we got. CH did a good job with that I thought. Like I kept reading and wondering when he'll show up and what will happen when he does.

Well, if they're bringing in Debbie, I guess that means they're also bringing in Alcide.
I wonder who would play either part. Based on conversation over at TWoP, I've been imagining Hugh Jackman as Alcide, but he's older than the character and I don't think he'd join the cast.

I dont have any clear image of who I'd like to see as Alcide. But Debbie I can picture Rose McGowan (since Debbie has black hair I think??) & when Rose first started Charmed I believe she had black hair. Shes a bit older than the character but I think she could pull it off.

I think the Hugh Jackman image in my head is more the whole Wolverine sideburn thing.
Rose McGowan could be good. Christina Ricci might work too.

Christina Ricci is another good one who could pull off Debbie.

Wasn't Debbie Hispanic in the books? Not that it matters because they changed Tara.

I don't think so. I know she was adopted by the Pelts, but I don't remember a description of her being Hispanic.

I just finished book 3 this afternoon and I HOPE that with the Maryann mess that AB will write in that Eric gets Sookie's driveway fixed (perhaps even her house) to incorporate his gesture in this book.
Also, my favorite part was at Russell Eddginton (sp?) home when Sookie is recovering & Eric is with her & they get it on (I think they get it on I will have to re-read that part because I started to just picture ASkars the whole time & started to not pay attention to what was actually happening lol).
And Book Bill is starting to become an ass.

So the sex get's hotter & better in book 4?? I can't wait! I return books 1 & 3 in 2 weeks so I'll see what other ones are available or what ones I have to put on hold for when they do become available.
