Book Biters: without LJS TVD doesn't exist - Page 26

Ok, I'm halfway through Book 1... There's not much Damon in the first book is there? It's mostly Stefan & Elena... Not that I mind 😛...

Katherine's a confusing character... She doesn't seem all that bad in the books, in fact, she seems kinda... Nice. But then again I'm only on book one maybe we realise what she truly is in the other books?

Book Elena's not as bad as everyone made out either... I mean ok, she was a little conceited in the beginning of the book but then on the other hand, her diary entries sort of show her vulnerabilities...

Suprisingly, I don't mind the differences between the books and the show 😆... Did I say how much I love book Matt? 😆... He's a true friend...

LJ Smith is one clever writer 😆... She's made it almost impossible to dislike Elena...

As soon as the book starts she shows us two different sides of her personality... First through her diary entry/inner thoughts, Elena's shown to be really vulnderable/still affected by her parents' death and then on the other hand she's shown as "the queen bee" of her school who is a little conceited/full of herself but you still can't not like her because of the way the book started 😆...

When Stefan turns up at school and ignores her... She sees him as a challenge because no-ones ever snubbed her, so why should he? But slowly that challenge turns to a sort of obsession for her and then to love for them both...

I love how she reacts when she realises he's Vampire... I mean up until then her love for Stefan has been shown as this great big thing...

So, I'm thinking she'll accept him no matter what... Which is probably why I was really glad and surprised that she reacted the way she did, when she saw him like that... It was such a... Real reaction...

When Stefan sees her and he changes back it's almost as if she realises that the Stefan she knows and loves is still underneath there somewhere and she wants to get to know both sides of him, man and "beast"...

Deff - all of it agreeed. I'm glad Elena had a reasonable reaction.& That's what I love about the SE dynamic. He ignores her rather than find out why she is so similiar to Katherine. But he eventually loves her for completely different reasons. I was kind of mad for this reason. In the show they allowed Stefan to walk right up to her. The Damon/Elena was similiar but they left out my fave part about SE. He ignored her in the beginning. He was not attracted because she was a look-a-like. That had no effect on his love. She could have looked like Meredith or Bonnie and he'd still fall in love with her. As for the show - eh I'll argue that physically she may not be his saviour yet. But she did save him from dying remember. So I still think show or book they're a complimentary pair. What the other lacks the other has. Okay rant over.

Love do you mean Vol 1 done or just book 1?

I meant Vol 1 😆... starting on Vol 2 today (hopefully! 😛)...
