Who here loves the Vampire Diaries television show? Did you know that it first was a book series before it was a television series? We live in a world where a ton of popular young adult fiction is becoming movies and television shows. I personally love that I get to see my favorite characters on the screen even if I read the book series after I started watching the show. Reading and watching the show in most cases is quite different specially in the case of the Vampire Diaries. The book series has a different twist than the show along with new characters or changes in characters. In most cases the changes are decent and helps out the show story quite a bit.
Welcome to another review of an intriguing book, which is a bind-up of The Vampire Diaries series by L.J. Smith. Now to start off the review this series is a smokey hot hit show airing on the CW network, but similarity between the show and the books are few and far between each other. If you are a fan of the show I would warn you that when reading the books you have to separate the two forms of media because the book and show only really have the main characters of Elena, Stefan and Damon everything else is created for the show theatrics. However the book is different, but in a good way meaning you can watch the show for one variation of the Vampire Diaries and have a completely different experience when reading the novels allowing for a double dose of Vampire Diaries greatness. The thing that sticks out with the novel is that the characters seem at first to be a little one-dimensional, but eventually grow on you. My favorites parts and characters in the novel was anything really connecting and centered around Damon because he seemed to be the most rounded and well-written character out of the bunch being so calm and collective with an air of confident around him. All in all, the novel proves to me why the Vampires Diaries is such a huge hit on television because of the great source material, but the main reason for enjoying the novel series is the fact that you can get a double dose with two similar and different stories being portray in both written and visual media. This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.
