Re: Vampire Diaries --TV series
I'm a huge fan of the books and when I started watching the TV series it was SOOO different!!! I swear, the only things they got right was that there was two vampire guys named Damon and Stefan, and there's a girl named Elena. All of a sudden she has a brother, (semi-spoiler!) she's adopted, Katherine is alive and well, there used to be a tomb that had a bunch of vamps in it, Caroline is a much nicer person than she is in the books, and Damon is like civilized and isn't after Elena (yet!) (end spoiler!!)
If you think of the TV show on it's own instead of "following" the book series, it's a lot more enjoyable =) I LOVE DAMON IN THE BOOKS AND THE TV SHOW!!!

Big question is, do you think it's worth reading the vampire diaries if you've watched the TV-show first?rapid_reader1 wrote:I'm a huge fan of the books and when I started watching the TV series it was SOOO different!!!

I mean, what do you enjoy more, the books or the TV-show?
Thinking about reading the books, but if you think it's not a good idea after watching the show, well, I'm curious!

Re: Vampire Diaries --TV series
Hmm...If you're a big fan of the show, I don't think that mean's you should give up a chance to read the books. I wasn't kidding when I said there were only a few things they got rightIloveAliceCullen<3 wrote:Big question is, do you think it's worth reading the vampire diaries if you've watched the TV-show first?rapid_reader1 wrote:I'm a huge fan of the books and when I started watching the TV series it was SOOO different!!!

I think that it's very possible to read the books as long as you kind of distance yourself from the TV show. Believe me, it's not very hard once you get past the characters names lol. Just think of it as two seperate things. I really enjoy them both, for different reasons. Both forms give characters close-but-different personalities and they make very different choices.
But, if Vampire Diaries book series doesn't work out for you, I very strongly suggest Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead. Similar name, I know, but VERY different.

Re: Vampire Diaries --TV series
You are SO right. Edward would even pass the line and fight against the pack to find her and Stefan just called two (?) times!bored by the sea wrote:my mate and i were soooo yelling at the tv last night when damon basically kidnapped elena to take her to see his witch friend, because it seemed like stefan didnt really make any effort to find her, i mean jeezif that was Bella missing Edward would stop at nothing to find her!

Re: Vampire Diaries --TV series
i know right he rang twice then went for a walk to the school poor effort! i haven't been watching the series really, this is only the 4th episode ive watched but i mean don't the vampires in this series have tracking abilities i mean im assuming they do otherwise how do the non vegetarian ones find food lol, could he not have tracked her and found her and made sure she was safe?! he's definitely no Edward Cullen thats for sure, think that's why this episode was frustrating us so much

Re: Vampire Diaries --TV series
I'm enjoying this series so far, not quite as good as True Blood or even Buffy & Angel but this is solid.
