Amazing,
By
This review is from: The Vampire Diaries: The Awakening And The Struggle (Paperback)
I couldn't stop reading this book once I started. The story is about a popular girl named Elena and a mysterious quiet boy named Stefan. This novel tells the story from both points of view making the reader able to understand the characters more and to make the reader truly care about both of the them.
The story begins with Elena, who wants Stefan more than anything but for some reason Stefan wont show interest in her and tries his best to avoid her. Elena doesn't understand why he's like this and begins to wonder why he seems to hate her so much. Stefan has his own reasons for not going near her that revolve around his mysterious past that is shown to the reader throughout the novel, and because he is a vampire. This series was so good, and anyone with a love for vampire novels will be hooked! I especially reccomend this book for people who have also loved books such as Twilight, By Stephenie Meyer, and Blue Bloods, By Melissa De La Cruz.

great series,
By
This review is from: The Vampire Diaries: The Awakening And The Struggle (Paperback)
this was a good vampire series focused on a main character that i expected to hate. In the beginning of the series i was somewhat hesitant to like elena because she is one of those self centred, bossy personalities one usually acquaints with the antagonist, Elena herself was oblivious of the fact that she was so selfish of course. but even though she was so unforgivingly forward, the reader is compelled to appreciate her personality and interpret her methods of accomplishing something as strength. the first task we see her trying to accomplish is the wooing of stephan, and though this plot development seems typical, the way in which elena throws herself whole heartedly into what she wishes to accomplish really connects her to the reader and makes the reader want to support her. she has this energy and strength of will throughout the entire series. She also grows tremendously. in the beginning, as i've said, she's somewhat focused on herself, but as the series progresses, her focus shifts to those around her and to those she cares about. all in all elena was a very proactive heroine and i recommend this series to those who appreciate a good vampire romance.

Major Disappointment,
By
This review is from: The Vampire Diaries: The Awakening And The Struggle (Paperback)
This is one of the rare cases where the TV series outdoes the book - by a long shot. Elena is one of the worst main characters I have had the misfortune to read in a long time. She is selfish, arrogant and petty. Stefan and Damon's story is much better in the TV series & so are Bonnie & Caroline. Overall - big disappointment. I only finished it because I was hoping it would get better in the end, but no such luck. Stick to the show if you want a better storyline.
