1.0

Boring, pointless, no difference in characters, uninspiring, just a bad read. Do not recommend this on any front. (If you want a similar story, but done better just watch the show) I tried not to compare it to that, but it’s so hard not to.

It was entertaining but at the same time a little too slow for my taste. Elena isn’t a very interesting character yet and I feel no emotional connections to any characters. Nothing really happened. I thought there would be more fantastical fun

the relationship moved exceptionally quickly, made it feel a bit hollow

. Overall, entertaining, exciting, mysterious and enticing. I enjoy vampire novels.

So this was just not good lol. First Elena Is so annoying and self centered. She’s not like other girls she’s better 🙄. She literally thinks every boy is In love with her. She’s also a terrible friend. Also Stefan had no and I mean not an ounce of personality so I don’t know why everyone wanted him. Also the show is so much better because they honestly changed everything. I wouldn’t really recommend unless you want to see the differences between the show and book or you just love the show.
