Eric from the book o Eric from the mostra ... which one is better ????

Eric from the book!!! No one, and I mean NO ONE is as perfect as Eric. Impossible for a real life guy to be better than the TRUE Eric Northman

Amore them both... Aren't they one in the same? When I am Leggere the libri I picture Eric Northman to look like the tv character. There have not been enough episodes of True Blood for me I want più lol The libri have been the catalyst to make me Amore Eric

They're both great. te must remember that if you've read the books, Eric is well developed. Of course, if you're only the 2nd book in, well, you're on par, though a different level with Eric. All is the same, I do not think they take away from his humor nor power in the tv series. Eric is a very magnetic caricature both in the libri and on tv. Alex Skarsgard does an excellent job with him. I am waiting anxiously to see the rest- rosa spandex and all! (I am thinking this won't happen, but that and the doccia scene are highlights to my imagination!)

BUT IF right now book o tv...book all the way. While Alex does an excellent portrayal of our preferito vamp, in the book, as always, te get a più "in depth" feel of what is going on between hm and sookie. Perhaps we will get to see the più humorous side of Eric in the show, his manipulative, selfish, non-selfish, caring, intuitive side....Great directing if we do :) So far, I do like Eric in the book better, BUT in book two, I was still undecided...however, I did like him più than Bill always. Bill is just TOO controlling and "I am older and know better than you" type....blah. Eric was better in the doccia anywho :P

Totally Eric from the Book....

Eric from the book, but Alexander Skarsgard is way hot and I do like his portrayl.

the book's Eric is better, have te *seen* my imagination's Eric? Way hot! That however is open to change as the tv mostra progresses. We are comparing one season to what-nine books. although, cutting Eric's hair...I don't know, they may have taken steps backwards with that move!

I think that Eric in the book is più discriptive and te can imagine the inner conflict more. The Eric in the mostra is who I picture when I am Leggere the books. I do think that Eric in the mostra is the same but te cant read his mind te have to read his actions. I am waiting impatiently for più of the true blood series 2!

In the libri Eric is my preferito character ever and I Amore how Charlaine Harris made him be one of the lead characters and the only one Sookie can rely on for better o worse :D

and as for the mostra well...I'm dissapointed because they just put Bill (whom wich I hate) up on a pedestal and made Eric be the boogeyman,Eric never kidnapped and tortured/killed anyone in a basement and neither did he summon Lorena to hold Bill away from Sookie...

I don't want to write spoilers for the people who haven't read the libri but believe me Bill is not a good and honest person...

I fell in Amore with book Eric, but I think that Alex Sarsgard does a wonderful job. Plus, he's quite nice to look at.

Book Eric, any day. He's pretty awesome in the mostra - but the original version is always the best. :)

I think they couldn't have gotten a better person to play eric... (naked scene, yum) but his character in the book, te can't help but think he's amazing, what he will do for sookie... it's that character te fall for...

TrueBlood's incarnation of Eric is vastly different from the character as developed in the Southern Vampire novels da Charlaine Harris. Eric on the page is a bit of a trickster while Eric on the screen is scary. In TrueBlood, he is depicted as a very powerful boss-- with a bit of a soft-side; while in the libri he is più a quirky corporate VP. I like what the True Blood team has done with the character, but I adore the Corvette-driving, silk-boxers wearing, tricky Eric who weasels himself into Sookie's cuore and quite a few times, into her bed.

The book is way better then the show. Eric is was better in the book and we actually get to read what Bill is actually like.Let's just see what actually comes out on the screen, honestly I would've really loved to see Eric in those rosa tight.

eric from the book most defiantly. the one in the mostra is sexy bt the one in the book is più sexy cuz of the way the describe him. the one in the mostra doesnt have all the right parts of the eric attitude like the one in the book. thats the part of eric that makes u fall in Amore with him if u get wat im saying:)

i think eric from thee mostra is better than eric from thee book

After my opinion eric is much better in the books. Not just because I read them first, but he is much nicer in the books! In the mostra eric says that little children are delicious (ugh, but he's hot though), and in the libri when sookie hears his thoughts he thinks that he dont want to kill anyone (unless necessary). Plus there are ALOT più lovescenes (and scenes in general) between eric and sookie. I mean come on their first baciare on the mostra was in season 3, and in book #3 they almost had sex. Sooo Book-Eric wins. Definitely
