OT- I finished a book recently in which the heroine was concerned that the penis wouldn't fit. She repeatedly remarked about it. It made me laugh. I know it wasn't supposed to be funny, but I couldn't help it. I'm having trouble finding it, but if I can I'll post it below. ~Amanda I have the first Sookie book in my TBR, based on your review I think I’ll move it up to the top of the pile on my nighttable.

I loved that werewolf power struggle. I really love the harshness of that community as part of the storyline. It was just deeply satisfying to me as a reader, in that it's ambiguous in the way it's awful by Sookie's standards, yet not by the were community's standards. I also enjoyed your defense of the many suitors. It sort of didn't bother me hugely, but I always really want Sookie to have sex with at least one of them. great review, and great point about her being both blameless, yet causing bad things to happen.
