Es mas un 2.5

El inicio de "Vampire Diaries" no es sorprendente, es muy cliche, pero si tomamos el año que fue publicado (91) puedo entender porque esto gusto (no hay muchas historias juveniles como ahora). Con todo me parece absurdo el insta-love, amor eterno y blah blah, tan rápido; la prota se desvive por "Stefan" y acepta todo lo que le dice (si, si el amor puede ser eso), pero ya que la describen como inteligente y fuerte piensas mejor de ella a lo que nos muestran.
Son los personajes y el romance que dan vida a la historia pero casi todo el libro lo sentí muy exagerado, tipo poesía melancólica. Aun así es entretenido, te mantiene al pendiente y mas con el sensualmente cruel Damon. :3

I thoroughly enjoyed the development of each character, and found that most of the storyline kept me captivated. While we get a nice blend of modern day life and “paranormal darkness”. Not entirely as I remembered when I first ready 9/10 years ago.l, but just as enjoyable.

It was a 3.5 but it went down to a 3 because wtf was that ending and the weird Stefan flashback scene just weird.
