This companion book is only for the first like 7 or 8 books, so I'm wondering if there will ever be a second companion book for the rest of the series.
Was nice to get the story of Sookie going with Sam to the wedding, and it was also nice that it was more a novella with a more standard Sookie story than the crappy short stories.
The bulk of the next portion of this book were detailed synopses and then "the secret dialogues of Bill and Eric", which were pretty entertaining! Could have done with shorter synopses and more between the guys!
Then there was some general commentary on Harris' writing and short stories, and I didn't actually like her reasons for the short stories. But was interesting to hear the little bit about how she writes and her character development.
The bit about how the fan club was started and became such a big deal was a nice input from the leader of the fan club, but seemed sadly irrelevant for some reason. Maybe dated is a better way to put it? I've not looked into it at all, but my experience is that sadly these clubs seem to die out once the canon is done.
