My Friend Dahmer by Derf Backderf

dark slow-paced

My first time reading a graphic novel and I enjoyed it.
It was interesting to see what Jeff Dahmer was like as a teenager, in the eyes of his classmates.

Nicholas Sparks wrote this book amazingly! It had me tears, it had me laughing and all at the right parts. Must read for anyone who likes a good cry. Also, I'd suggest you read the book before you watch the movie. I didn't and it kinda ruined it for me but I loved it anyway.

The Vampire Diaries: The Awakening and the Struggle by L.J. Smith

2.0

If you only want to read this book because you watched and LOVED the TV show - don't do it! It's VERY different from the TV show and I kept thinking that it wasn't right, that the book was wrong. But of course it wasn't - the TV show has made the storyline more complex. The storyline in the book is very basic and very unrealistic. I feel the book could have been written in one book instead of 2 or 3.

I was very disappointed - if you want to enjoy this book, only read it if you are under 15 years old and haven't watched the TV show.
