It's all about family ...

Sookie Stackhouse is dealing with a whole host of family problems, ranging from her own kin (a non-human fairy and a telepathic second cousin) demanding a place in her life, to her lover Eric's vampire sire, an ancient being who arrives with Eric's 'brother' in tow at a most inopportune moment. And Sookie's tracking down a distant relation of her ailing ...

I think this was the first stackhouse book where sookie doesn't absolutely drive me crazy! It wasn't too bad at all. I find myself sticking with this series because I'm so far into them now! Would I recommend the series possibly as each person is different to what they like to read.

THIS WAS SO HAPPY, literally the happiest book that I've read since Simon Vs and that made me very very happy because if you know me you know that I love me some happy books, yes there were sad part that broke me apart but the happy times were just so so happy that it made up for everything 10/10 would recommend. (PLUS THE MULTITUDE OF THEATRE REFERENCES ARE THE BEST THINGS EVER) if you're a nerd you will love these nerds. Also I love Dylan so much he's such a well fun character i don't even know if I'm supposed to love him as much as I do, this review is just a pure ramble now but I LOVE THIS BOOK

In the 'Author's Note' at the start of the edition I read (published in 1992), it is explained that this novel is really a joint effort between Terry Pratchett, aged 17, and Terry Pratchett, aged 43.

It's interesting to try to spot which aspects of the books belong to which period of life: which of them from the original (published in 1971, and written by a 17 year old) and which are from the more contemporary period. While understandably not as polished as Pratchett's later works - he himself says it's not the book he would write now - it's still impressive that the basis for this work was written by a (then) 17 year old.

You never know what goes on under your feet ...
