However, if you're as impatient as a certain devilish hybrid we know and love, waiting out the bitter winter months sounds like sheer torture such a long and arduous process.

My review for the chapters i read in the book:

Just read the book of The Originals...i liked it and would definitely like to read more...yes there were few things that sting quiet a bit while reading...few scenes between Klaus and Vivianne (a new character) reminded me of Klaroline scenes but less irritating and Vivianne seemed more likable to me.

Rebekah's change in eye color was also a bit of surprise seeing rebekah's eyes are quiet a distinctive part of her physical appearance...Elijah's pov was veryg ood...it was exactly like Elijah is and i felt connected to him while reading just as instantly i did when i saw him on-screen

The story (specially the start) is the book is quiet different from that of show and that's because the events in the books have happened just after decade (10 yrs) of Originals settling in New Orleans while in series most of the flashback started when Klaus met Marcel which was probably in 1800s. The story starts right after Originals arriving in New Orleans and trying to make it their home...for now they themselves are homeless and have not made even one vampire due to a peace treaty between them and other residents of New Orleans.
