Here's how I break it down:
book series- amazing, full of moments I can't turn the pages fast enough to get the words in and know what's happening next. I have read all of the books, I own them all, only problem was, in early 2010's they fired the writer and creator of those books, L. J. Smith, and replaced her with a ghost writer. It was complete B******t! I will admit I read them, and I could tell immediately (within the first chapter of ghostwriters writing) this wasn't the same. Smith was able to stick it to book company that fired her and kept her characters, she used kindle words, and wrote the stories ending as she meant it. Unfortunately, she became very I'll with a very rare disease and only got out 1½ of the book in the last 3 book arch. I've read them, well what she put out, and I can say, I wish her a speedy recovery so I can finally close these books in my life.
TV series- I loved it. I learned a looooonnngggg time ago, to not go into a new series based on books with preconceived notions. It never ends well. I know the books inside and out, front to back, but when I start a new show, I try to wipebit all from my mine, and start only knowing the characters names. Watching this show that way, wonderful! Until they killed off Elena. Well in all honesty, Nina Dobrev, only signed a contract for a 6 year roll. So that being said, I still own every single season, VD and originals both, and I'm a diehard forever fan. I'm a Delana fan, and (even if that would never happen in the books-no matter what ghost writer wants to put on those pages-it never would have happened with the connection Elena and Stefan have in the books)
So, my bottom line, is they are both wonderful, full of huge characters I've learned to love and cherish in their own way and that have been a huge part of my life for almost 20 year. Please, give both the original book series, and the TV show(Julie Pleck-is an amazing director and producer) a shot and I'm fairly certain you won't be disappointed.

That's funny you thought it was too dramatic and got bored with it. I'm usually the first to roll my eyes dramatic TV shows, but I really loved watching The Vampire Diaries . I think I might've even cried a little. I know I was pretty upset during the finale. And the kissing scene between Elena and Damon near the vending machine? My teeny-bopper heart skipped so hard. Lol. But I've never read the books.csimmons032 wrote: ↑29 Apr 2017, 22:36 I have never read the books but I watched the tv series. It used to be one of my favorite shows, but after a while it all was just getting too dramatic for me. It felt like every little thing was a threat to the whole town and I just got bored with it. I gave it a rest for a little while, but I did watch the series finale just to see how it ends.
