My Rating: 5 stars

This TV show is based on the series of books by L.J. Smith. Seriously, I tried reading the first book to the Vampire Diaries, and I couldn’t even get into it. It was kind of boring, and I really don’t like Smith’s writing that much. (And I don’t understand the order of the books, because they all have three parts or whatever. Could someone explain that to me?) But, besides that, I am obsessed with the TV show!
The main character, Elena Gilbert, (played by Nina Dobrev) is torn between two vampire brothers, Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder). I know this might seem kind of cliché, but that isn’t what the whole series is about. Basically, the main controversy is between Stefan and Damon because in the past, they both loved the same girl, Katherine Pierce, who turned them into vampires. Weirdly enough, Elena looks exactly like Katherine. I don’t understand that, and hopefully they’ll explain that soon.
There are a lot of other main plot points, like how vampires in the city of Mystic Falls, Virginia, date very far back. There are a lot of vampire fights, surprising moments, and huge cliffhangers! I love this show.
I’m super sad though, because the first season finale is May 13th, 2010. I will be waiting for it to come back!!
