    And wherever Damon goes, trouble always follows.

      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!
    • 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.
    • 4/5
      Wonderful fluff. Series that the Vampire Diaries TV show is based on. I enjoyed the novel but it's VERY high in teenage girl drama.
    • 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.
    • 1/5
      Decided that I can't *stand* the character of Elena in the book and therefore this series is not worth finishing.
    • 4/5
      I will admit that I only read this book because of the TV show. I am one of those that will always try out the originating story no matter what. I actually read this on my phone, as part of a new application I downloaded that allowed me to download the book for free. It was my first experience reading a book in an e-format, and it did take me some time to get used to having to scroll down constantly. However, I found myself completely sucked into the story and breezed through the book in what I feel is a record amount of time - complete losses of time while reading. As with a lot of what I've been reading lately, this isn't going to win any awards. The audience is definitely a teenage one, filled with the misunderstood homecoming queen, the brooding new high school hunk, the mysterious bad boy. It's a quintessential teenage story, but again, I'm not going to hold that against it. I found that I couldn't scroll down fast enough. There really was something compelling about the animosity between Damon and Stefan. Ms. Smith kept me wanting to read more, only because I was impatient to find out who triumphs in this battle. She takes the word "cliffhanger" to an entire new level and could definitely give Suzanne Collins a run for her money on abrupt endings. It is a very effective plot device that had me downloading the next book immediately upon finishing the previous one. The first two books in the Vampire Diaries series were light reads but extremely enjoyable. It's already taken so many different twists and turns that it is not your typical teenage vampire drama. I find myself waffling between the good vampire and the bad vampire, which only keeps me engaged. I would recommend this to any vampire lovers out there and can't wait to finish the series.
    • 3/5
      I approached this book primarily from two perspectives: a more generic point of view that judges this book stacked up alongside every other book I have ever read and one that judges it primarily within the genre that it was written in and the audience its meant to serve. I think the second perspective is probably the one that is the most fair to criticize it through, and from that perspective it is at least an average-to-fair quality book, but it's very hard to look past the glaring faults and nonsense that litters the pages. Then again, I'm not coming, perhaps, from the audience that the author intended to market to.If you're looking for an easy teen paranormal romance I can see how this would be incredibly satisfying. The characters, while not immediately likeable, do grow and change significantly considering the short word count, and yet not so much that it is hard to get a grip on. Elena, the main character, begins the book somewhat selfish and spoiled, and while she has begun to develop a sense of empathy and concern for others by the end of the story, she is STILL a very self-centered and egotistical person. Stefan, the obligatory reluctant vampire, seems to move through waves rather than undergo actual changes as he fluctuates between being cold and emotional responsive to Elena despite feelings for her that apparently drive him to uncharacteristic behaviors. He was perhaps the least likeable character in the story.The side characters are more charming than the protagonists. Elena's friends are kind and have distinct interests and personalities that I would like to see developed further. Damon, though his appearances are brief and he only receives any real attention in the last 10% of the book, hints at a depth of character that Stefan, so far, touches only superficially. The romance scenes are forced and quick to the point of embarrassment, quaint enough to carry a reader that doesn't expect much more than a suggestion of emotional weight but not capable of eliciting much more excitement than that. Smith is good, however, at creating a sense of mood and atmosphere. This slim book abounds with fantastic, melodramatic descriptions of scenery and Fell's Church begins to acquire a characterhood that is not often attained by the settings of most YA romance novels. This book is worth a read for those that are interested in getting a grip on this past decade's fascination with vampire romance or YA supernatural romance in general. If you're able to put aside your harshest expectations it may even provide some occasional moments of legitimate enjoyment.
    • 4/5
      A very enjoyable read. The plot had enough of a difference to keep me enthralled and the multilayer characters were exciting to get to know. Can't wait to read the rest of the series.
    • 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
      I don't say this often, but I am going to say it now: The television show is SO MUCH BETTER than the book.There. That makes me feel better after reading this horrible book. In fact, I probably never would have given the television show a chance if I had read the book first, so I am very, very glad that I didn't bother with the book before jumping into the show. The show has issues, don't get me wrong; but the book is awful.Elena is relatively likable in the television show; at least I can understand where she is coming from most of the time. Elena in the book, however, is a vapid, shallow creature who only thinks of herself and her social position. Here is a quote that sums up book!Elena beautifully:After all, what was more important than boys? [HEAD MEET DESK] They were the mark of how popular you were, of how beautiful you were. And they could be useful for all sorts of things. Sometimes they were exciting, but usually that didn't last long. Sometimes they were creeps from the beginning. Most boys, Elena reflected, were like puppies. Adorable in their place, but expendable.So she USES people to shore up her self-worth and ultimately views them as expendable. Nice.Elena's ex, Matt, who was one of the "adorable yet expendable puppies" in Elena's life, tells her like it is at one point."You only want everybody and everything revolving around Elena Gilbert," [Matt] said bitterly. "You only want everything you don't have."Yep.And even Matt, who appears to be quite long-suffering, later says when he's pretty sure that Elena may be in danger from a classmate that he was rather apathetic about her safety and that part of him thinks she deserves whatever she gets. Oh, but it doesn't matter. Because Stefan ended up "saving" Elena. And how does Elena say thanks to him? Oh, she doesn't. Instead, she says: "I know I should be grateful to you for saving me tonight, but I don't care about that, either. I didn't ask you to save me."LOL. Okay then!And that's Elena, a selfish person who doesn't give a shit about anyone. At least she's consistent; she doesn't seem to give much of a shit about herself, either.Throw in some instalove, whitebread characters (the book has none of the diversity that the show has), and some more yawn-inducing moments from Elena, and I'm done with the series. I'll keep watching the television show, and each episode I will be thankful that it's not as horrible as this crappy book.
    • 3/5
      I have to admit I didn't finish this book which is a rarity. I just was hung up on how self absorbed Elena's character was in the book vs the series. The show's writers have done a good job softening up her character.

      Book starts out with her coming back from a stay in France to start school back at her old high school. She hasn't even officially met Stefan but is already telling her friends that "I will have him" sooo yeah not interested. Sorry everyone I wish I could give it more.
    • 3/5
      16 years before Twilight, there were the Vampire Diaries! Seriously, they are SO much alike. I still prefer Twilight though, and it wasn't really my own choice to reread this so shortly after my first read of it, but it's being translated to Danish, so I was asked to review it for my publisher. Thankfully it's a quick read! It's not bad - just nothing special either.
    • 1/5
      When I finished reading this book I thought two things:

      1. This is the book that Kevin Williamson read that convinced him to turned it into a show?

      2. Stephenie Meyer is a clever plagiarist!

      Ladies and gentleman, this is where the horrible series known now as "The Twilight Saga" got its beginnings. This book was horrendous. I couldn't believe it because I once loved the show. Terrible characterization and plots.

      Basically, I blame this book for starting Twilight. Read The Awakening and then read Twilight. The similarities are uncanny!

      But there is good news, it does get better in the next three books.
    • 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
      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.
    • 4/5
      I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly I blazed through this book. I didn't realize it was an almost-20 year old book, but I think that the story, as well as the characters, have stood the test of time. The story didn't seem "dated" like some other books I've read. The plot is somewhat predictable, but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable as mind candy. I read loads of YA lit, much of it pretty intense and serious, and it is nice to take a break from the serious, and move into a story you can just enjoy for what it is: a suspenseful fantasy. No having to read between the lines and try to figure out character's motives and pasts, it's all laid out for you. There are a few slightly steamy scenes between Stefan and Elena, but they are tasteful and nothing more happens that making out, although you can definitely feel their passion/desire for one another. This is one of those paranormal romances that I don't have to worry about recommending to younger teens because there is very little swearing, and no sex at all. Overall, I'm giving the book 4 stars for getting me out of reality and into a fantasy for a bit.
    • 1/5
      This was easily the worst book I have ever read in my life. Just like with the Sookie Stackhouse novels, I watched True Blood first. This have me unrealistic expectations, and left me very disappointed with the book. The same applies here. I've been watching Vampire Diaries since it first started. I found the first book on my nook on sale so I figured I would read it. Well that was the worst decision I've ever made. The entire first part of this book is dedicated to making the reader understand just how popular, and perfect Elena is. It just continuously reiterates that she can have every boy in the entire school, her life is amazing, she gets whatever she wants, oh but of course she's vulnerable because her parents are dead. I completely understand this is a YA novel, but this book is so high school it pained me to read it. I had to force myself to read the last 60 pages. I will never ever ever read this again. I don't even want to remember I ever read it.

    • 3/5
      I have a great deal of nostalgic fondness for L.J. Smith's Night World series, which was my introduction to vampire fiction, and which remains - to this day - my favorite expression of the genre. With strong female leads, appealing romantic heroes, and well-developed supporting characters, the Night World books often featured stories of overcoming obstacles and bridging differences on the road to true love, and I gobbled them down like candy. But despite that enthusiasm, which extended to Smith's Forbidden Game trilogy as well, I never got around to reading The Vampire Diaries, written a few years earlier. Recently, prompted by the recommendation of a friend, as well as curiosity about the forthcoming television adaptation of the series, I decided to correct that omission.The first of four volumes, The Awakening follows the story of Elena Gilbert, the proverbial "Queen Bee" of her high school in Fells Church, Virginia, who becomes entangled in a supernatural love triangle involving vampire brothers. Bitter rivals since their boyhood in Renaissance Florence, Stefan and Damon Salvatore are as different as two vampires can be. Tortured by guilt, and determined to do as little harm as possible, Stefan comes to Fells Church looking for a new life. There he meets Elena, who reminds him of his lost love. But Damon - reveling in his powers, and ruthlessly intent on getting what he wants - is not far behind...An entertaining supernatural love story for teens, this first entry in The Vampire Diaries is the kind of riveting melodrama sure to appeal to romantic girl readers. Elena is a somewhat unusual heroine, in that she first appears to be something of a snobby brat - the typical popular girl. Fortunately, Smith's penchant for writing strong girls wins out, and the character grows and deepens as the novel progresses. More episodic than the Night World series, where every book is a stand-alone story, The Awakening ends with a cliffhanger, so it's difficult to make any conclusive statement about characters or plot at this point. Suffice it to say, I enjoyed this installment, and look forward to the next!
    • 2/5
      Elena is used to getting what she wants. She has just arrived back to school, where she is the most popular and the most beautiful student, to find that there is a new boy who is catching everyone's attention. Stefan is just trying to fit in and not use his vampire abilities. He is pretending to be a normal boy in high school. He is drawn to Elena because she reminds him of the vampire that had turned him so many years ago. Eventually Elena and Stefan become a couple, but bad things seem to be following the two of them around. People are being found hurt or dead in the cemetery. A strange man keeps popping up near Elena and she is very afraid. What will happen when a teacher ends up dead at a school event? Who is to blame?After the television has shown (and I have not watched) and my students have raved about the book series, I finally sat down to read this book. I'm afraid that I didn't really like it. I think the only reason that I did not care for the book is because it is a book that needs a sequel in order to be any good. There is no way that you can read this book as a stand-alone young adult novel. It's disappointing to read through something only to find out that it depends on the next book to have some sort of resolution to the conflicts that are building. I enjoy series that have an overall big conflict, but also little ones in each novel that give me some sort of closure and not just a building sense. If a student had turned something like this into me then I would not have graded it highly because there is no falling action. I think the best part of this novel is Stefan. He is a fabulously written character with a lot of back story that makes him entertaining. I don't feel like I should care about Elena. She seems like a stereotypical teenage book heroine. She is prettier than possible, has no overwhelming personality, and is hurt but very good at hiding her feelings about everything. Honestly, I want something new.2/5 stars
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 2/5
      What can I say? I was looking for some afternoon brain candy, and I definitely found it in L.J. Smith's The Awakening. I have been a fan of the t.v. show The Vampire Diaries since it first aired last year. The t.v. series seems to be loosely based on the books, but in this instance I have to say that I like what is on my television much better than what I read in The Awakening.

      The writing is a little dated, and use of some words and phrases really bugged me - that is until I realized that this book was originally published when I was a Freshman in High School! So, I tried to appreciate it from the perspective of a 15 year-old girl, which made it a little easier to enjoy. Unfortunately, the writing was just not that great, and no amount of me pretending to be a teenager again could make it any better.

      Because I love the characters of the t.v. series, I will trudge on and read a couple of more books in this series. I would like to see what is going to happen with Elena, Stefan and Damon - despite the fact that the characters in the book are incredibly unsympathetic and very different from the ones I've come to know and love on t.v. I really can't recommend The Awakening too highly - especially for fans of the television series. In this case, I'd say sick to the story on your t.v. and you'll be much happier.
    • 2/5
      The only reason I picked up this book was because I LOVE The Vampire Diaries TV show. I cannot believe that the book like this could give an inspiration to create such a great show... But I am glad that the show is based on this book very loosely. I am not sure if the book is worth even two stars, it's cheesy and annoying, and I finished it just because I didn't have to read it, I got it as an audiobook. Since I don't have anything better to listen right now and I really enjoy listening to the audiobooks (even as lame as this one), I am planning to continue with the book series. Hopefully it will get better.

      Not as good as Twilight but makes you want to keep reading to find out what happens next.

      If you are a fan of the television show, The Vampire Diaries, then if it hasn't already, eventually your curiosity will get to you and you will want to read the books that started it all.

      I had actually read the first few of these books several years ago and then set them aside and haven't looked at them again, until now. I am so glad I came back to them because I can look at the differences and see how the story developed.

      In the books, the characters are vastly different than what they are in the television show and I find it interesting to see the similarities and differences and how the story plays out.

      I am not going to get too in depth about the differences because I don't want to give away the story, but the most glaring differences are Elena's family. You will have to read if you want to find out more about that, but let's just say it totally threw me for a loop. I understand why they changed it some for the show, though, because it plays out better in the show. There are also some characters in the book that aren't in the show and I do wonder why they were left out, but as I will likely never get the chance to ask the author about it, all I can do is speculate and wonder.

      The story is well written, albeit a bit thin on detail. The book does not tell you anything about what happened to Elena's parents. But conversely, the description of the vampires and what they are capable of is very different as well.

      Overall, I enjoyed the story. The ending is a bit of a cliffhanger. The book is a quick read and a real page turner and you will find yourself unable to put it down.

      I loved this book.
      The story is beautiful and, at no time, does it become boring.
      Thank you very much for this novel.
      I will read all the other books of this saga.

      "The Vampire Diaries" is in the same genre as the now-better known "Twilight" series. Unbelievably, this was not as well-written -- at least, comparing the first book of this series with the first book of Stephenie Meyer's series. The concept of the sibling rivalry / love triangle, in the YA genre, was fresh in the 1990s. But truthfully, this series was given a massive boost by the TV series, which, while trashy, is considerably more sophisticated (and better-written) than The Awakening, the first book of the series.
