I was prompted to reread this book for the first time in over a decade because I just finished Nightfall and I had to reassure myself that it was the quality of L. J. Smith's writing that has deteriorated and not my memory. I devoured the original trilogy (which in my opinion should have ended with...

This was a decent enough book. The book is written primarily from Elena's (a popular high school girl) perspective. She meets the new student, Stefan, and immediately likes him and decides she wants him. The first half of the book is her pursuing him, the second half is her meeting another myster...

If the show had not been made, if I had not read a ton of other vampire books, THE AWAKENING might have been OK. Since the show was made and since I have read a ton of YA PNR with vampires as the central figure… I am amazed that I finished it. First: This book pales in comparison to the show. So fro...

The first volume of the series introduces the reader to Elena Gilbert a popular and beautiful high school student in Fell’s Church, Virginia.

I enjoyed this book, but it was much more teen oriented than some other supernatural YA books I've read of late. It was mostly the interactions between Elena and her friends that I found quite juvenile and simplistic, though since it is a teen novel I'm not sure that is a failing of the novel. Thi...

Doubtless the story is a little bit too clichéd; it is nevertheless, a good read. There is an air of fear and thrill about it. I like the way the story develops and the significance of the presence of the graveyard throughout the novel. Although, the character of Elena seems snobbish at times; I hop...
