There have been some changes to the storyline that I am not a huge fan of though.

1) Hotshot isn't a meth haven in the books. It is just a small inbred town for reasons that will probably be explained in the show shortly. Also, Calvin (the guy that Sam beat up) isn't an ugly deadbeat in the books, he is a handsome leader.

2) The queen is much more powerful in the books, at least when she is first introduced. She has an army of minions to do her bidding. I was also surprised they made her younger than Eric, in the books they never mention her age but she has a child who is about Erics age I believe.

3) I HATE how they have introduced Claudine and I hope there aren't any more cheesy scenes with that pond in the forest.

Book 4 is one of my favorites of the series and I really hope they include most of it in Season 4.
1) Agree

2) Agree

3) Totally Agree. If Claude / Claudine are going to play a bigger part in the series they better sort out the cheese-factor right now.

The main story arcs from the books loosely make up what happens in the TV seasons. Although the further we get into it, the more the TV series changes from the books.

Book 1 - serial killer in town

Book 2 - Sookie investigates missing Vamp in Dallas / Fellowship of the Sun. Maenad plays a small role.

Book 3 - Bill is kidnapped. Sookie goes to Mississippi. Weres get involved.
