Critic reviews

• Audie Award Finalist, Mystery, 2007

"Harris keeps the action going nonstop in this bubbly brew of supernatural spice and whimsical whodunit that's more fun than a barrel of beignets." (Publishers Weekly)

One of my favorite books

Would you listen to Definitely Dead again? Why?

Yes, I love the introduction of Quinn the were-tiger. I wish he was in the series more than he was. I also like that Eric is annoyed that Sookie is looking else where for male companionship. I think it is kinda of cute that he has to deal with his feelings about Sookie.

Which scene was your favorite?

My favorite scene is the date between Sookie and Quinn. He like her so much and seems really fun to be with. It is unfortunate that Sookie gets so upset with him, so quickly.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

What is hidden beneath.

Any additional comments?

Great series. Love the way Charlaine Harris writes her books. The stories are always action back and yet endearing.

Nice

great storyline, great narrator. I enjoyed listening to the book a great deal. I plan to get the next book in the series.

One of the few times I was jealous of a fictional character

Quinn is my guy for Sook, so I love this book. He’s a big ol’ hunk and a giant murder kitty and I really was mildly jealous wishing I could find one lol

Some boring bits, and some exciting ones

Overall I loved this storyline! Though I could have done without the trips to Walmart and everyone's outfits. Perhaps it's because I'm listening to them one right after the other, but it's getting repetitive. The queen and king, were tiger, and witch were far more interesting.

Interesting twist

This book brings a new and interesting turn of events into light. What happens here carries through to the rest of the books and adds another level of interest. As always Johanna Parker's narration is wonderful and Charlaine Harris' writing is great. The story still wasn't as good as book 4 though.

LOVE Sookie Stackhouse

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Quinn is back!

If you could sum up Definitely Dead in three words, what would they be?

Quinn is awesome.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Definitely Dead?

The most memorable moment on Definitely Dead was probably the meeting between Quinn, Sookie, and the Weres in the bar.

What does Johanna Parker bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her sexy, musical, lilting voice with an awesome accent.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, but I couldn't because I save listening to these books for my time in the office.

Any additional comments?

If you could be any kind of Were wouldn't you want to be a were-tiger? Yeah, you would. Then you'd be a tiger once a month!

looooove them

love the sookie stackhouse novels. can't just stop listening to them, so instead I just listen straight through. definitely an addiction

awesome

love all her books can't wait to get the others so looking forward to the next book

I LOVE THIS WHOLE SERIES!!!!!!!!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This series is incredibly addictive and fun. It's funny, complex, sexy, and the character of Sookie is so real. I just don't know how to give enough information to explain why it was so great. It's like that song you just love so much and yes you know you like each thing about it, but the way they all go together is just perfect. I was sad when I finished the last one. I WANT MORE!!!!!
