I agree with absolutely everything that you ...OMG! <br />I agree with absolutely everything that you say!!!<br />I actually read the series a few years ago and I thought it was pretty ordinary. I didn't like the writing very much, I thoughtit was way too childish for my liking, but I did like the characters. Especially Damon from back then.<br /><br />But yes, the tv-show is like a gazillion times better than the books!<br />I was never team Stefan, though I never disliked him. He is just ...meh, all good, predictable. And the effort to make him a bad guy with the blood addiction last season was nothing.<br />Damon, on the other hand is my type of character.<br />Dark, tormented, a bit psychotic, aching for love and acceptance, but never admitting it!<br />I always loved him, but the moment I realized I was helplessly in love with his character was in S1, the minute he was in Elena's room when she was sleeping and he caressed her cheek and hair.<br />I was like: akhslskdkgldkghd <333<br />I even wrote fic for that moment <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6422634/1/The_Serpent_In_Your_Sleep" rel="nofollow">click</a> and last episode <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6432589/1/The_Sun_In_Your_Hands" rel="nofollow">:P</a> *g*<br /><br />See? I'm not ashamed to profess my love for them! lol <br /><br />And this final moment! WOW!!<br />I was blown away and I think I will be writing again! lmao!!<br /><br />Anyways, great idea for this meme! I just made my own blogspot (along with my lj) so I think I may do it!!<br />Thank you for this post!!

Just kidding, to each their own (But seriously, "Breaking Dawn" did suck a whole lot and bring the entire series down with it in my opinion)...! And Damon, oh Damon... I just fall more in love with him every time, as you said, he shows his little softie side ;) <br /><br />@Cem, I also had a similar reaction with the "Gossip Girl" series. I read the series in its entirety even though they were quite ridiculous, but I absolutely love the "Gossip Girl" TV show. But yes, don't bother wasting your time reading the "Vampire Diaries" series, but definitely add the TV show to your 'DVDs to rent list'. <br /><br />And as for "I am Number Four"? I did a review on it maybe a month ago (?). I was really looking forward to the book with all of the movie buzz and whatnot, but I just thought that it was quite a let-down. I found that it had the potential to be really amazing, but it just didn't live up to this potential (I don't know about you, but I find the characters to be pretty flat and one-dimensional). It's not the worst book by any means (that would be "The Vampire Diaries" series ;) )- but in my opinion it just isn't the greatest. I think I rated it as a 6 or 7. <br /><br />Thanks for the comments ladies!Averyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09043710129088565772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320826799056561174.post-85059936144480428952010-11-07T10:39:36.215-05:002010-11-07T10:39:36.215-05:00I've not watched any Vampire Diaries. I'm ...I've not watched any Vampire Diaries. I'm constantly hearing about it (not surprising!) but never had any real urge to watch it. Or read the books for that matter. I may add the dvds to my 'to rent' list though. I find it really interesting that you have such a problem with the books, but love the tv series though. Good reason to always try a different these things I suppose lol.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my IMM post today :) You mentioned not being too big a fan of I Am Number Four (which I'm currently reading). I'm about 100 pages in and so far I'm enjoying it which is surprising me because normally I'm not a big fan of sci-fi books, so I half expected for it to turn me off at the first mention of other worlds, but so far so good.Claire (Cem)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17163401026523824954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320826799056561174.post-66663680039594715502010-11-07T09:06:46.230-05:002010-11-07T09:06:46.230-05:00Love this show! And when Damon told Elena he loved...Love this show! And when Damon told Elena he loved her and a tear fell I almost cried myself! Love Damon!<br /><br />Sad that you didn't care for the books as much. I liked them, wouldn't say I loved them as much as I love my other books, but still liked them a lot better than Twilight. Of course the Twilight movies have effected my opinion on the books now. So I'm being manipulated basically!<br /><br />But yeah, I'm fast addicted to this show and was so glad that it was able to complete season 1 let alone move on to season 2!! <br /><br />I like the differences too, Caroline here on the show is way better than she was in the book. Although me and my friends can't say the same about Bonnie. We liked her better in the book and don't care for her so much on the show.<br /><br />But still love this show! Still have to get the DVD so I can watch it over and over! Love seeing Damon go from being total badass to an almost softie. Not a total softie, but even that video clip does show that Damon cares. He isn't 100% heartless even though other times he acts really cruel and everything.Jessica @ a GREAT readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07554254368211246669noreply@blogger.com
