How To Read Free Vampire Books Online?

Did anyone else read the Vampire Diaries books and then watch the new TV show?

  • Well, I don't know if you did....but I did. And...if you did, doesn't is ANNOY you how it isn't anything like the books...at all?! Don't get me wrong, I like the books..LOVE the books...and I like the TV series so far..but really they shouldn't be related. The TV series doesn't follow the storyline of the book at all. I mean, half of the character's name aren't even the same, and they're missing vital characters like Meredith...and since when does Elena have a BROTHER?! Whatever, I guess I was just really excited to see the books made into a TV series...and then was disappointed when it wasn't anything like the books. I like the TV series by itself, it just shouldn't be called the Vampire Diaries or be considered as being based off of L.J. Smith's books. So, what's your opinion?

  • Answer:

    This is so true. I read the series about a year before the shows came out and I read so much that I usually forget a lot of the story after a year, but I remember the main plot and NOTHING lines up except for the fact that there's Damon and Stephan and Elena (they didn't even take the trouble to bleach Elena's hair and throw some colored contacts into her though). And I love the show so much but you're right in saying that they shouldn't be related. I mean, Damon really never killed anyone in the books. Vicki - where did she even come from? And she's supposed to be Matt's sibling but Matt's like albino and Vicki's tan and pretty. And then Jeremey. Ay. Elena had a little sister, not a little brother. None of it works with the books. I think they only reason they called the Vampire Diaries was because that would make the show popular right off the bat instead of having them have to gain their own popularity. <3

I've read up to the first 2 novels. I loved the books, and I also love the TV series. I don't really care that it's not completely based off the books. If it were I wouldn't watch it. I can't stand when I watch a movie/TV show is based off a book completely! I like that it's different then the books. Because really why would a little kid (Elena's sister in the book) be in a show where there is sex, swearing, and spooky sexy vampires that were leather jackets...? Well that's my opinion on the matter :)

I read the books and watch the series. I wasn't surprised though because in interviews the director was very clear about how different they would be. And many of the cast haven't even read the books (which I find pretty disgraceful). You can find those interviews on http://www.openbooksociety.com We review the series weekly and discuss the differences on our forum. I'm beginning to like the differences, but I also really like the books. I just consider them totally different entities.

Im still reading the books, i think im up to the 3rd book. Yeah, its nothing at all like the books! i still like it, but it probably would be better with the book storyline. However, i think its similar to the books, so i do think it should be called "Vampire Diaries" :) The TV series is cool, because of Elena's brother. And the things that occur with Vickie :) I love stefan <3 he's SUPER hot. lmao.

i like both the books and tv show but it would have been better if they were related...i mean in the book elena has attitude and is blonde....i think its ridicoulous how they dont have meredith...i mean she was one of the main characters and friends...i think they should have had coraline with more attitude on the show...i agree that it shouldn't be called vampire diaries because its just totally off...

I know it annoys me a bit, the show itself is good but completely different from what L.J. wrote. I loved Stefan and Damon in the books and I like them in the tv show but their characters are a bit different. I heard that Meredith might make an appearance. Oh well the show is not going to be anything like the books but I'll keep watching since the show is not halfbad

Andrea

I've read the books and think that Elena is a total B, I know it might sound harsh but I am extremely grateful that the show is nothing like the books, still miss Meredith though, she's a genuine character.

Ahh me too.. :p i liked the books ; but i hate the show. The show almost has nothing to do with the books & it's irratating that they even call it the same thing. :p i watched the show for a couple of episodes, then i decided i didn't like it at all. xxo. ♥

yeah i read all the books like last year and have watched every tv show out. i was dissapointed at first when elena's hair was BROWN but the tv show was so freakin good that it's hard not to love :D and i think they didn't mean to make it based off the book. well they have some of the same plot (ie falling in love) but they created their own tv show with it cuz they can't copy off of the book exactly.
