Now some of you may not know that TB was based on books that Charlaine Harris wrote.

Now as i love to read i was well into the Charlaine Harris Sookie Stackhouse books before true blood was even about.

Now i have noticed sevral and i mean sevral things that really should of been in the TV series but is not.

First Characters

Andy Belflur is not a V addict and is not a heavy drinker
Palm does worship the ground eric walks on but is completly diffrent in the book.
Jessica does not even exist
lafayette dies in book to so he shoulld of died in series 2
Bill was never king and Bill never killed LongShadow Eric did
Eric is always acting pwerful and would never bow down to Bill
Tara is never mentioned much all the books really does is reminds us of the fact she was Sookies best friend
Some characters do behave diffrently but not by much

Some noticible Things that happend on the TV but should not of

First of all lafayette should be 6 feet under
Jason is never on the police force
lafayette was never tortured as he was already dead
what was in seasson 2 was wayyyyyy diffrent
Also Their are some more things

Things that should of been in the TV series as they were in the book

lafayette died
Tara and her mother never were big in the book mostly just a mention
Godric killed himself while he was in the fellowship of the sun as he killed himself via sunlight
Godric Rapped the man that tried to kill sookie
Bill was out of town when Rene Lenier attacked sookie and the attack was at night
Bill can fly but in the TV series 1 he says he could not but then you see him fly at the end of series 3
All this fairy buisness really never happend their was some stuff but it was played down.
the books are mostly focused on sookie


ALL I CAN SAY IS SERIES 4 IS WELL CHANGED FROM THE BOOK

So thats just some of the things
