"Tara was also white in the books. Which brings the net sum of non-white book Main Characters in a series set in the US South to Zero."

The times I like Bill and Sookie are the times like the scene where they're flailing around at the vampire hotel check-in. Basically, when they are being hilarious. Otherwise, they're kind of... zzz. Really, every single person, even Jason, is much more interesting (regardless of relative likability).
