True Blood vs Sookie Stackhouse Novels a #Review and Comparison #Vampires
The NightLife
perpetual fuckup that Sookie has to endure because they’re related. There isn’t
very much about Jason that’s likeable, not to me. But, they really nailed his
character in this first season. Still, I felt far too much screen time was spent on
Jason.
Lafayette was awesome. I really regret that he died. I just loved the guy they cast
in for his part, and, I really enjoyed how much screen time he received, but, I
don’t recall him being that big of a player in the actual novels. He was out there
in the peripheral. In the books, I could barely even recall that Merlott’s had a
cook named Lafayette at the point that he was murdered. In the books, he was
nowhere near as prominent or entertaining as he was in True Blood.
I really enjoyed him in the show, he brought some much-needed levity to every
scene he was in. The man was funny, and so in your face. He was the
quintessential aggressive gay male that makes homophobic southerners cringe.
Loved him.
Tara was always that annoying friend who I tolerated only slightly more than
Jason. So, I suppose, I may have skimmed over her parts in the novels. Tara had
way too much screen time.
OK, confession time
