I also gave the first episode of the show a try and thought the dialogue was so unoriginal and tepid that I haven't watched it since.

They take elements from the books, but they make them so much better, so I do suggest you watch the show, too. Perhaps it starts a little low, but the second half of the 1st season already has you totally hooked, or at least I'm speaking for myself.Irena @ This Miss Loves to Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16127816068294702715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-20081746328774485272010-09-18T10:19:33.130+03:002010-09-18T10:19:33.130+03:00I still haven't watched the show because I wan...I still haven't watched the show because I want to read the books but I haven't gotten around to it.Ladytink_534https://www.blogger.com/profile/14317480621483829078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-67784061038870679932010-09-18T04:47:51.399+03:002010-09-18T04:47:51.399+03:00LOL how fun.

I absolutely HATE "Elena" in the books, but I ADORE Elena on the show. <br />This is a case (for me) where the show BLOWS THE BOOKS OUT OF THE WATER! <br />The show is great and not very "teenish" to me at all with all the sex, violence and evil afoot. <br />I just can't get enough of the show. I am FORCING myself to read the books so I can compare the two and so far the books are lacking terribly compared to the awesomeness of the show.<br /><br />:o)<br /><br />MsMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
