haha, I've thought about getting into Anita Blake... who knows, if I get too bored and read everything in the house I may go for that as my next stint. :D
With Sookie, I think her personality definitely changed as the books went along and more of the reasoning to get the story to go a certain way rather than the character developing to meet such a dynamic shift.
Personally, I think the show is doing a better job so far on certain aspects than the books. The thing about translating the books to a show is that one cannot do just Sookie's POV - they have to do everyone in the ensemble cast, which I think leads to much more developed storylines. Though, I'm really curious to see what they pull out of their arses to make certain IMPORTANT plot points to the books still "work". So far they are doing one season = one book and stick to the general outline but as we go along this minor changes will start to add up.
