Sämre böcker har jag nog inte läst, fortsätter bara för att få ett avslut på serier som var mitt mål 2013 och mindre olästa böcker i min bokhylla.
Andra delen är dock bättre än första men fortfarande dålig i mina ögon.
Kan inte förstå att en sådan underbar serie kan vara baserad på sådan värdelös bok.

I really struggled with this book, I wondered if it was because I had watched the T.V. series first. It pains me to say I only got half way through the first book and I couldn't carry on :( That is not at all like me!!

The Vampire Diaries caught my interest even before the TV show came out. I've been seeing it in bookstores and always told myself that i will buy and read it one day. That didn't happen until someone gave me a gift card, from my favorite bookstore, for my birthday and i decided to buy volumes 1 and 2.
I've been trying to read volume 1, which has The Awakening and The Struggle, but i'd get so distracted that i can't get past chapter 2. After my third try, i reached chapter 15 but it took me some months to get there. Then a couple of weeks ago, i found e-books and downloaded them to my phone so i could still read before i sleep (with the lights off) and while i'm in commute or just waiting somewhere.
The other day i finally finished reading The Awakening and started reading the first 2 chapters of The Struggle. Like any other TV show or movie based on a novel, i can't help but compare/point out the difference between the book and the show/movie. For starters, book-Elena, IMO, doesn't seem like the same Elena in the show. And unlike the show, I know these were already mentioned even before the show started so it was no surprise, really.
The fight between Damon and Stefan seems more serious in the books than what was shown in the series. In the show, they seem to be getting along, getting closer to each other, or at least they were close before Katherine came to their lives; but in the book, i get the impression that they have been fighting even before Katherine came, she just made it worse.
The Awakening is mostly about

Spoiler
Stefan and Elena meeting, falling in love, the latter finding out what the former really is, and of course, Damon trying to keep them apart. In the end of this book, it appears that Damon killed Stefan and boasts about it, but we all know that isn't true. I'm in the part of The Struggle that Elena does not believe him and she is looking for Stefan with the help of the witch Bonnie, whose last name isn't Bennett, but McCollough.
