Ben Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Just finished Dead Until Dark - the first in the series - not too long ago, and I just wanted to say that the series really does intrigue me, I shall be reading more. I was just wondering, do we get to understand the mysterious identity of 'Bubba' or am I just being really slow? Quote
Kell Posted February 16, 2010 Author Posted February 16, 2010 They never actually say his name, Ben, but it is intimated that Bubba is Elvis Presley. Quote
Ben Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Ah thought as much. Thanks Kell. Have you read much of the series then? Quote
lexiepiper Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Bubba is meant to be Elvis You get more hints as to who he is as the books carry on I think Quote
Kylie Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 I was just wondering, do we get to understand the mysterious identity of 'Bubba' or am I just being really slow? Geez, I have such a bad memory. I can't even remember a character by the name of 'Bubba'. I better skip the spoilers for now. Quote
Ben Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Well I'm not entirely sure if he's an influencial character in the later books but he certainly features a bit in the first. Not to worry, Kell confirmed what I was thinking. Quote
Kylie Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Ohh, I just checked the spoilers and now I remember. I can't believe I forgot about him! Quote
Kell Posted February 16, 2010 Author Posted February 16, 2010 He certainly appears in other books, although not in a big-up-front kind of way. He's usually a secondary character, but still essential to the plot of those books. I love it whenever Bubba pops up - such an ingenius idea to include him in this way. Quote
AbielleRose Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 I agree Kell. I always smile when Bubba pops up in the story. The way that CH has written it so that you can't speak his 'real' name is just too perfect to me. Quote
runner Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 just had a look at the spookie series as they are one 3 for 2 at waterstones...they look more sutied to female reading rather than male..or am i wrong i fancy reading them they look fun where should i start? Quote

They are fun runner! But don't buy the 3 for 2 offer at waterstone's. Check out This .. much better offer. Start with Dead Until Dark Quote

Charm Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 fantastic charm....thats a great offer and i shall buy tonight....this book forum is getting expensive hope you are well today..i'm on lunch hour and doing a little surfing I am well thanx fer askin I hope you do like the Sookie books, if you're into supernaturals in general then I think you will enjoy them. They are quick reads and pretty addictive and a lot more grown up than something like Twilight. Have you seen the TV version True Blood? It's a pretty good adaptation of the books, but as per usual, the books are better. Enjoy the rest of your lunch! Quote
Ben Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 Just ordered the first eight through The Book People. Cracking deal. Quote

runner Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 it would appear to me that more ladies rather than gents have read or are reading the sookie series...is that so? does it matter? Quote
