Liked It1 of 1 members found this review helpful “This series was written BEFORE the Twilight one. A lot of similarities, but the books are still good. They are worth reading if you enjoy vampire stories. I especially like the triangle between Elena, Stefan, & Damon.” see full review » see other reviews » |
Didn’t Like It3 of 3 members found this review helpful “I read the first part of the book and it took me a week. It was only 250 pages but I couldnt get into it. It wasn't terrible, but it just wasn't any good. Nothing in this book stood out to make me want to read more of it. |

“I became interested in the books once I saw the show on The CW. I think the show is great, the best new show I have seen in awhile. After reading the first book, I would say that the show is loosely based off of the books. The show writers have taken a lot of liberties, and I would say, improved upon the original.

Take Elena, the main character in both the book and the show. In the book, she is quite mean and self-involved, while in the show she is down to earth and unassuming. I far prefer the show version of Elena. Needless to say, the main character being a polar opposite in the show versus the book can tell you how different the two stories are.
When all was said and done with this book, I was unimpressed. I think that it was a rough version of what it could have been. This book needs work, the story is hardly fleshed out at all, making the emotions the characters feel quite unbelievable.
Watch the show, skip the book. ”
“This book is about Elena, the most popular girl in her school and how she falls in love with the wrong type of person. Elena meets Stefan, a vampire. He is gorgeous! How can she resist. In the end will Elena end up with what she wants or will all the people in Fell's Church be put in great danger.”

“I've heard that Stephanie Meyer got her inspiration from this series and took a lot out of it, in other words, that Vampire Diaries is the original story of Twilight, and it's A LOT better. There's a lot of books in this series but I hope to accomplish reading them all sometime. Also, people say that the show is nothing like the books and it's really bad.”

“This book was better than I thought it would be. Still a lot of teenage angst on the part of the young girl who falls in love with a vampire named Stefan. Problems ensue because of the jealousy of the vampires younger brother Damon. The younger brother causes the couple a lot of problems. The heroine also has to contend with jealousy from a former friend, who tries to cause her problems at school. If you have been watching "the Vampire Diaries" on TV it is nothing like the story in the book, except for some of the characters names. However, the book is a good read. It was written before the "Twilight" series.”
