Summary: Light, funny, fast-paced, and entertaining
Review: This second book in the series is even better than the first one ('Dead Until Dark'). And the first one was fantastic!The style this is written in is very different from any other books I've read. It's a mystery mixed with humor mixed with horror with a little bit of romance thrown in. The characters really come to life - even the dead ones. I love the main character, Sookie, and her boyfriend, Bill, but was also glad to see more of Eric, that rascal Viking vampire with the awesome physique and complete lack of morals. Buy this book - you'll be glad you did!

Summary: Country goes to town
Review: The best thing about this book, and the previous book 'Dead Until Dark' is the interesting twist about vampires living in a small town. The writing is refreshingly new and not at all tedious. Sookie Stackhouse and her vampire lover, Bill, go to Dallas to find a missing vampire. Harris does a great job of explaining Sookie's first plane flight, and first trip to the big city. Sookie also has a mystery/murder to solve in her small hometown. It's great to see a mystery in a small town where everyone knows each other, but none of the residents have a clue about what's really going on. I hope Ms. Harris has a new Sookie Stackhouse novel ready very soon.

Summary: MORE! MORE! MORE!
Review: I am thrilled at having found this series! I recommend it to anyone who enjoys books by Tanya Huff, L.K. Hamilton, Susan Sizemore and Donna Boyd!
I won't go into the storyline as you can read all about it in the "official" book review section.What I will say is that this book has everything needed for a fun, entertaining, fast read! I will venture to call it "Anita-Lite." Yes, there are vampires, shapeshifters and murders (oh my!), but it is all done without going way overboard on the violence and gore.The sex scenes are yummy without being tacky and the dialogue is a treat!
The only reason I didn't give it 5 starts...it ended far too soon!
Ms.Harris, I want MORE...please?

Summary: finally....something worth my (or your) money
Review: while not-so-patiently awaiting the next Anita Blake book (and hoping it will be infinitely superior to Narcissus In Chains, which was SO not worth the hardcover price) i checked out the reviews of similar books. Living Dead In Dallas sounded funny, sexy and action-packed, which is how i like my novels, and all you Anita Blake readers out there recommended it highly. in a fit of optimism, i bought this one, devoured it in one night, then went out and bought Dead Until Dark. Sookie is a great, BELIEVEABLE heroine, Bill's human life is shown as actually having at least a slight effect on the life he lives now (what a concept! l. k. hamilton, maybe you should write this down) and i love the idea of a society of little old ladies called Descendants of the Glorious Dead. This is a book I would reccomend buying, because you will want to read it over and over again, and the library gets testy when you hold onto your books for a year. I can't wait for the next Charlaine Harris novel!

Summary: Getting Better and Better
Review: This is the second book and I must say this story is getting
better and better. It is starting to be a bit like the Anita Blake series and to me this is a good thing. Wonderful love story between the vampire and his lover. With some action thrown in.

Summary: It's not bad, but not as good as the first
Review: Although the author shows the same talent for originality that she displayed in the first book in the series, the magic that infused that one is missing here somehow. It's competently written, but felt uninspired.

Summary: I couldn't belive it
Review: After reading Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles I thought I would never find another good Vampire book, but when I was shopping on Amazon for a book to finish up my gift certificate I came across "Living Dead in Dallas". I love Texas and Vampires so I bought it. I couldn't put it down after I got it. I've read this book 2 times and it just keeps getting better. Charlaine Harris really brings the characters to life in this thrilling story. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a good book. I also recommend "Dead until Dark" Read this book you'll love it.

Summary: Very Solid Second Entry in the Series.
Review: In the previous novel 'Dead Until Dark', ordinary waitress/telepath Sookie Stackhouse met and became involved with a local vampire, Bill Compton. Sookie became endebted to Bill's vampire associates and has now been hired out by them to a Dallas vampire coven to help them find a missing vamp. Bill travels with her as her protector and entree to their world.
I really enjoyed reading 'Living Dead in Dallas'. It is a solid continuation of the series. Sookie Stackhouse's character had some interesting nuances emerge.
There were a few disappointments. The vampire world, having been in existence for centuries, comes across as having an amateurish organization. I was also surprised to see the lack of a resolution to Sookie's dealings with the bellhop, Barry. This series will draw inevitable comparisons with Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake series. Almost without exception, Hamilton's Anita Blake novels are faster-paced and more dimensional. However, these two Sookie books are charming, funny, and notably down-to-earth. The writing style is the most remarkable aspect of this series and makes it hard to put each book down. Thoroughly enjoyed this installment.

Summary: stop with the Anita Blake comparisons!
Review: This is a fun and enjoyable vampire series. Anita Blake relies too much on gore and not nearly as much sex as people would have you believe. Sookie is funny and some of the plot contrivances are silly enough that they just make you enjoy it all the more. In the first book, for example, Bill the Vampire - Bill! who names a vampire Bill! - gives a talk about what is what like to live during the Civil War to a group of civil war historians. Anita is a badass and a half, while Sookie gets nervous about her first plane trip, to the big, bad city of Dallas, Texas. Sookie and Bill make me smile all the way through the book. Anita (while enjoyable in its own way) mostly makes me cringe with all the blood and gore descriptives. And quite frankly, the sex scenes between Sookie and Bill are genuinely sexy as they are filled with warmth and love, even while Sookie questions how smart it really is to be in love with a vampire. Sure, there is a similarity, but these are two completely different animals. I pick Sookie any day of the week.

Summary: You will enjoy this one!
Review: "Livng Dead in Dallas" by Charlaine Harris is one entertaining story. I loved this one! It was a cold, rainy, damp, eerie kind've night when I read this book (which only added to the thrill of reading the story) and I was so lost in the plot that I forgot all about the time. The next thing I knew it was daybreak! Unbelievable! If you are into Vampire stories with a twist than read this one, I have no-doubt you will find this story as entertaining as I did!
