    What our readers think

    Readers find this title to be a great story, although some prefer the TV adaptation. The book is liked by many and is very interesting. Readers are excited for the final book in the series and are eager to move on to the next one.

      Decided that I can't *stand* the character of Elena in the book and therefore this series is not worth finishing.

      This was pretty unimpressive. It wasn't awful but it didn't really have a whole lot of substance. It started off pretty good- I quite liked the beginning. However, Elena and Stefan were declaring their love for each other after literally one conversation and it all got a bit silly after that and I found myself rolling my eyes a few times. One minute they had never spoken two words to each other and the next minute they were 'in love'. It was just kind of silly. The writing was easy and light and it was a quick enough read which made up for the lack of everything else.
    • 4/5
      it's a scary story, i loved the events, the fantasy was great. it's make me wana be a vampier too
    • 3/5
      I am starting to like this series more and more. Again VERY different from the tv series.
    • 3/5
      I liked this book a lot! It got very interesting. I’m so ready for the final book In this series! And ready to move onto the next:)
    • 3/5
      After the disappointment that was book 2, I was actually very pleasantly surprised by book 3. It was even better than the first book - mostly because people actually started talking, instead of making weird assumptions. I have to admit to now being kind of curious to see what happens in book 4.The similarities between this and Twilight aren't as great any longer either, which is a relief, as it makes it easier for me to view it as a series in its own right, rather than a much inferior 'prelude'.
    • 5/5
      Jerry Ford and I shop in the same bookshop and I knew him back when he was teaching school and complaining at the shop that 'I can write a better book than these guys' and then he did! His first 6 books featured Detective Leo Waterman. Honestly, I was getting a little tired of Leo. But this book has a new hero - defrocked journalist, Frank Corso. Both his new hero and his new book are top drawer. Full of meaty story and fabulous characters. This is the book that he was talking about originally and he was right.
    • 3/5
      Review: This might be one of those times it hurt me to see the show before reading the books.What I loved: I didn't really love anything about this book. I did think it was a quick read and really well written though.What I liked: I liked the amount of detail put into the scenery, something I think is missing from alot of book. I liked Stefan, Matt, Bonnie, and Meredith. I thought Caroline was sufficiently *itchy.What I didn't like (still not warmed up too): Elena. I am sorry but at no point do I think she deserves to get the guy. She is shallow, self-serving, manipulative, and a little to much like Katherine from the show. All I kept thinking is Stefan and Matt have the worst taste in women. I might start to like her as the series progresses but right now I just don't like her character at all. Which could be a problem since she is the center of the series.Overall I gave it a 3, there was enough good parts to outrank my dislike of Elena.
    • 3/5
      Usually I say that the book is better than the movie/TV show but not in this case: the TV show is actually one of my favorites, but this was disappointing. Good, but Elena was really shallow, and I couldn't believe that for someone who had just lost her parents.......still good though.
    • 1/5
      I hated this, didn't even finish it. I really like the TV show, though.
    • 4/5
      After drowning in a car accident Elena wakes as a vampire, determined to save her town from the mysterious evil that threatens it. Meanwhile two darkly handsome vampire brothers vie for her affections..
    • 4/5
      This book was so weird, and a bit boring. In the beginning it kept going on and on about how Elena's trying to find out what Stefan is, but never actually finding it. It's really frustrating for the reader, since there's not really any suspense cause we already know he's a vampire because of the title: VAMPIRE Diaries. But it's also one of those books that you just want it to end while you're reading it, but you want to keep reading it when you're done. The last page was really interesting, but I guess that's how they get people to read the next book.
    • 1/5
      This was definitely not my cup of tea. I admit I didn't completely finish the book, I just couldn't. My eyes were falling out of its sockets.Elena is one of the most disliked characters (imo) and she's obsessive and annoying. So instead of having to finish off the rest of the series I wikipedia-d the next books and am I thrilled to find out I didn't waste my time curled up to this series.
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed this book reading about the relationship between Elena and Stefan and Damon. Unlike the tv show which I am a fan of Tyler, in the book not so much he really plays the bratty card well. I liked how Damon kept the mysteriousness of himself. Definitely a great teenage read!
    • 3/5
      Because the second book in the series was better I decided to read the third book. I have to admit the story line has gotten better and more interesting. This one had more action which made the story fast past. Elena was also more likeable in this one…way less snobby. However, I’m still not sold on the idea of her and Stefan’s love. The plus side for me was learning more about Damon. I think for me he is the more crushworthy one of the brothers because of his mysterious and dangerous background.
    • 3/5
      I appreciate that L.J. Smith was writing young adult vampire novels twenty years before it became over-popular and overdone. This book started out like addictive candy that I couldn't get enough of, but quickly became less and less interesting. Stock characters, flat plot, and the whole thing felt inevitably dated. I had to force myself to finish, and now I'm done . . . I'll still finish out the trilogy, though. I'm that dedicated.
    • 2/5
      I am not sure why I acquired this book – I think I got it confused with another series - and while it was a fast, easy read (requiring one short sitting only) and mildly entertaining, it was just too facile for my tastes; thus overall rather unsatisfying.Pointedly aimed at a youth market, this is the story of young, unrequited love and brotherly jealousy, all within the boundaries of a dark, tantalising and seductive world. At the beginning of school term beautiful Elena, the unrivalled ‘queen of her school’ is nonplussed when the new overly-handsome boy, Stefan, practically ignores her, which ensures she becomes excessively intrigued with his unusual ways. And as it inevitably unfolds, Stefan hides a dark personal history which Elena eventually uncovers, along with their burgeoning mutual love; oh, and along with Stefan’s older brother, Damon, and his wicked ways.Full of too, too gorgeous creatures, with tragic pasts and circumstances, the story offered an initial promising supposition but devolved into a pedestrian, superficial dissertation of all tales vampiric; topped by a truly bewildering ending. Possibly it will appeal to its target audience; potentially it will reinforce the unrealistic dreams and depths of adolescent hearts, but to this old and wizened reader it fell far short of true enjoyment. The rest of this tale, this is the first of a long series, I will leave to its archetypical, ardent and committed teenage fandom – glad, at least that these books may encourage this age group to read lots. And that, of itself, is no bad thing.(Mar 13, 2010)
    • 5/5
      This first one takes a short while to get going as it gives some necessary introductions, but as YA fiction goes, it's good, and by the far the best I've read that deals with Vampires. The series as a whole is strong, and this book sets a good tone for it with believable characters and an engaging story.
    • 3/5
      This was a good read, but I thought is was nothing like the TV show. I mean I know that book and their TV shows will be different but there was a lot of differences that I notices from the books and the TV shows. No offense to the author, but I kind of liked the TV show better. In the book, I believe Elena is a blonde and I don't picture her at a blonde. In the TV show she had dark hair. I think that Elena looks better in the show. Same with some of the other characters: Bonnie, Caroline, etc. I enjoyed reading this book though, because I love vampire stories. I would recommend this to anyone who likes vampire stories but just be aware of the changes if you have read the books AND watched the TV show.
    • 4/5
       Not great literature, but the story moves along nicely. I kept waiting for the plotlines of the TV series to show up. And Elena has blond hair in the book. Same self-sacrificing love of a vampire for a human as in the Eclipse series leading to the same doubting by the woman that she is worthy of him.
    • 4/5
      Not as good as Twilight but makes you want to keep reading to find out what happens next.
    • 3/5
      Elena is very self sacrificing and now has reedemable qualites, so it makes the series now worth reading. This book was much, much better, but not a tear jerker. The characters still aren't strong enough to make me feel for them.
    • 4/5
      While I'm not entirely certain I've forgiven the author for making such utterly shallow and somewhat materialistic characters, I have to admit, I really loved the story and it kept me glued to the book.
    • 5/5
      It's such a shame when TV producers don't cast actors that look as described by the authors, either way read/watch or watch/read it just brings confusing for the readers/viewers.

      Great story, but I do prefer the TV adaption, probably because I saw it first and actors did a great job of making it likeable!
    • 3/5
      I don't know why but the reading on this just fell flat for me. I think I am too biased to the show to enjoy the readings.However, for a vampire series, at least this one is more ideally written. The vampires lust for blood instead of love all the time like in Twilight. Makes for a more eventful reading.
    • 5/5
      this book was slow in the beginning, but in the end i loved it. i thought it was wayy better than twilight. i like it better because i think this book has more action. this is definetly one of my favorite books.
    • 3/5
      I liked the unexpected start and outcome of this book, but I simply don't believe in the everlasting love between Elena and Stefan, let alone the fact that she is willing to die for him and his brother.
    • 4/5
      vampire falls in love with human. love can come over everything such as dead and enemy. it's a romantic and adventurous story..
    • 3/5
      Fairly typical beginning of a vampire saga although with the love triangle element. The downside of this volume is the high school atmosphere (although admittedly the youthfulness of the characters is necessary to carry the passion). I am the wrong gender and age to enjoy accounts that include the pettiness of girls' rivalry and the fluttery expressions of feeling.
    • 3/5
      I loved this book when I was about 13 and it actually holds up surprisingly well. It's not as dated as I thought it would be, more sensual than I remembered, and I think the TV show's doing a nice job of adapting the plot and characters for today's teens.
