Okay, first time, last year that I tried to read this, I didn't get past page 2. It was that bad.I gave it a second shot, this time reminding myself that it's barely anything like the TV show. The first two pages still bugged me, a lot but I pushed that aside and decided to focus.Elena still reall...

I normally summarise books before reviewing them, a brief synopsis. I can’t do it with this one, it just devolves into sarcasm every time I try.Anyone who has read Fangs for the Fantasy for any length of time will know we have something of a love/hate relationship with The Vampire Diaries TV show an...

I was told that the television show adaption of this novel was very, very good, but I was not aware that it was a loose adaption. I emphasize loose here because apparently, the television show is good, but the book is most definitely not.Let's start off with the basic idea. Stefan Salvatore, an Ital...

While I was reading this, I had some suspicions that certain other PNR writers borrowed some concepts. However, I must concede: Stephenie Meyer is a better writer. This reads like one of those "choose your destiny" stories written by girls in early teens. The level of writing craft fits. The com...

I found Elena very difficult to relate to. She was too much of a princess, and it's very hard to be on that kind of person's side. But the story itself was really entertaining. I love the complexity of Stefan. It was a nice book to begin the series with.

For me this one was just ok. I thought Elena was really conceited and that Stefan was just flat. Damon was the only who had dimensions. The storyline was typical girl sees mysterious creepy guy and instantly falls in love and then he tells her to stay away for her own good. Yada yada she doesn't lis...

I just had to read this book. I had heard so much about it and thought "what the hay". I have NEVER seen the television series, so I figured I had nothing to compare it to. It was not what I expected. Elena seemed to be quite the little brat at first, marching around, demanding things from her frie...

This will be a rather short review because there just isn't that much to tell about this book. It is written before the big vampire young-adult craze broke out, before there was any Twilight. Over the years this genre has grown, and has brought forth numerous great titles. And while reading this bo...
