I know I read the whole saga when I was a teen and in love with the show (still am) but because of the different atmosphere I just never really got hooked by the plot.
It was hard to finish, had to keep reminding myself that this book was written in the early 90s. Lots of run on sentences and bad grammar. It was a decent story but glad they updated it for the tv show
Two good books. Interesting but if you've seen the TV series nothing is really surprising. The 2nd book was a bit rushed but a good read.

Was on the verge of DNFing this book a few times. Not my kind of book.
I think the plot nearly moved too fast through some things to the point where things didn't tie well together. Also I found the main character quite intolerable.

All in all this book was semi entertaining but the writing to me was a bit lacking, which was surprising given the fact that the author has written something like 2 dozen books.
The main characters were in desperate need of additional characterization and interaction. I felt the relationship between Elena and Stefan to be too accelerated and fast pace without enough substance to back it up. My favorite character was a side character Bonnie who finds out she is semi psychic and supposedly descended from Druids while at the same time filling out the role as a popular girl at their small town high school.
I am reading the second volume though because just like the Cast's Hunted novels, each book ends with a major cliffhanger. So if I want to discover the 'end' of the story I must keep reading. Thankfully though they are super easy reads at just under 500 pages with a pretty large typeface. This one I finished in about 2 days.

Cliche y light es la definición de la primera parte "Amanecer", los protagonistas me llegan a caer mal (menos Damon) y romance surgió de la nada, siendo la segunda vez que lo leo noto más defectos pero tambien el porque atrajo a los lectores de los años 91.
Conflicto... Es mejor que el primero pero no mucho, ya veo una definición mejor de ese insta-love. Y en este vemos más Damon :3 . También las personalidades de los personajes se definen y tenemos la aparición del antagonista de la saga.

Thr book was very dramatic and definitely a book for someone who seeks gossip in a book. It was very easy to read.
This books took me a lot longer than usual to finish because I just was not interested in it. I’ve watched the entire series of The Vampire Diaries probably 4 or 5 times, and the books just did not match up with the tv show at all. If you are a fan of the tv show, I would not recommend reading this book series as it will just leave you disappointed.
