Rating: Summary: I love these books!! Review: This series is by most the best Miss Smith has ever written to date. I am a loyal fan. Volume four of The Vampire Diaries is a terrific conclusion to this compelling series. I have read these four books about ten times and every time I fall completely in love with the characters. At the end I join everyone in saying that I felt some loose ends. I want a fifth book REALLY bad. And I know I cried at the end of The Fury and Dark Reunion. I really want to know what happened to Damon cause he just flew away and that was that! And what about Bonnie and Matt and Alaric and Meredith. Did Elena acccept Caroline back after all the crap she put her through??? Where did Elena and Stefan go?? See all these loose ends?? So if you read this L. J. Smith, and I really hope you do, you need to write a fifth book!!
Rating: Summary: The best vampire series since Anne Rice Review: not many people i know have ever heard of L.J. smith or the vampire diaries series i think that they are wonderful books and recomend them to all my friends and anyone i talk to on the internet i found this book to be very mind stimulating and could hardly put the book down as i read deep into the night. I loved all the characters but i exspecially favored Damon even though everyone had their own doubts about him i knew he would come through in the end however i was kinda hopeing that matt would be changed him and merideth would get together and Bonnie would reveal her crush for damon and make him happy after his guilt over Elena. i had really hoped to see Damon get over seeing Elena with Stefan although stefan is the type of guy most girls would dream about and want a relationship with. Damon as the bad boy was my heart throb and i think that his character just needed someone there for him. He could bite me any time. I admire L.J smith alot in her writtings these were a fantastic series and i would love to see more books added to it in the future. anyone who would like to talk to one of this series biggest fans feel free to email me at winter_stagner@yahoo.com
Rating: Summary: A Let Down From the Previous Three Review: Dark Reunion was a let down from the previous three and seems out of place. Firstly, the main plot is recovering from Elena's death. However, a new evil is brooding in town. Elena contacts Bonnie from beyond to get Stefan and Damon's help to stop the new evil. What was mainly disappointing about this 4th book was that it was mainly told from the point of Bonnie. There's hardly anything on Elena who hardly plays a part. There's very little of the remaining Elena-Stefan-Damon conflict left and the plot is predictable. A lot is unexplained at the end, so basically this book left a lot to be desired. I really wished they had a 5th book which could finally resolve the Elena-Stefan-Damon thing and explain what happened at the end of Dark Reunion.
Rating: Summary: A Great Read Review: O my gosh this book was so awesome!! I think it is my fav out of this series!! There were parts in this book that just made you want to laugh and others made you want to cry. Seriously though I think there should be a fifth book!! I mean what happened to Damon, and what happened with Elena and Stefan, what happened with Alaric and Meredith, what happened to Bonnie and Matt, and what about Caroline? O yea, and what ever became of Tyler? So many things left undone and unwritten!!! N-e-wayz this series is an awesome read even if your not into vampires you'll get into these books believe me!! So far I have only read 2 of L.J. Smith's series, but I'm not done yet!! Right now she is my favorite author!! Just all the emotion that is tied up in her books is incredible! I can't wait to read on and find out what other things she has come up with!! But L.J.Smith if your reading this please consider a fifth!!
Rating: Summary: Awesome. Review: Okay. Okay. Call me a sap, but I was in tears by the time I finally came to finish this book. I read it in only 2 days too. It just blew me away. I absolutely, positively, LOVED it a ton. :) In my opinion, it was way better than the other three combined. I know some of you mentioned the cheesy ending and all that, where Elena is suddenly human and she and Stefan are together again, but I guess since I'm also one for happy endings (since there are so many sad ones lately-tv shows, movies, etc.), it didn't bother me as much. Kinda reminded me of Buffy and Angel in a way from BTVS (I'm a total shipper of them). Oh, and sorry to the lot of you, but...eeeks...I would much rather have preferred Damon with Elena. He had a lot more depth to him than Stefan in my opinion. And that "bad boy" persona he carried with him, really made me fall in love with the character. But anyway. If you haven't read this book, go out and get it. L.J. Smith rocks! :)
Rating: Summary: This book was ok, not great Review: I don't think the Vampire Diaries were meant to be composed of 4 books, it really felt as if the 4th one was somewhat out of place. Personally, I'm not a big Elena fan and I did feel bad for Stefan but Elena was too goody-goody and spoiled, so that's basically why I wasn't too happy about this book because I was satisfied with Elena's death in the 3rd book. I don't understand how she came back; it didn't fit in. Miraculously, she comes back from the death because of some unseen god-like power. It just seems too fake. But... I think that if you have read the first 3 books, you should continue on with this one.
Rating: Summary: I liked this book Review: This is a great book. It is told from Bonnie's head. In it Bonnie and her friends are going to fight an evil and they get Damon and Stefan to help them. Together they go to fight the evil. This book is fun to read and had me up all night just so I could finish it. The suprise at the end had me very suprised and this is a good book.
Rating: Summary: Accomplished Excellence in the Darkness Review: This series has been one of the best, or rather, THE best, series I have ever read. Picking up Book 1, I began reading and after Elena said, looking at herself in the mirror, "...good enough to eat!" then walked outside and it was described that a crow was looking at her with the same tone as other boys do when they are undressing her with their eyes, I thought, 'Ugh, this is way to corny for me, why did I ever buy this book-I mean, 'good enough to eat' and a crow checking some girl out?!, but I kept reading, figuring it'd be a waste of money if I didn't. And I am SO glad I did. If you have just started reading it and feel the same way I felt, KEEP READING! I found myself absorbed into the books until past 4 in the morning on most nights! By book 4, I had become obssessed with the characters and cried along with them when life was unfair and cried with joy when miracles happened. This is the first series that I have ever related with the characters so much. Meredith- always rational; I respected her because of her ability to think cool in tough situations. Matt- faithful and understanding, he always came through even though he himself wasn't feeling well. Bonnie- the smallest girl with the most courage and biggest heart. When it came down to it, she didn't hold back and risked everything. Damon- always with that whimsical smile and those unfathomable eyes, never letting anyone get too close emotionally with him. I respected him and yet felt sorry because I wished the mystery about him would've been investigated more, but it didn't matter that much because I understood where he was coming from; it wasn't a mystery to me. Stefan- I shared a lot of Stefan's pain, understanding why he blamed himself for everything. He was a vampire who was hurting so much inside yet still could love, and fight for his passions. Elena- the light in darkness, the source of most emotion. When something happened to her, I felt as if it happened to my closest friend or even me, and grieved so much. The series was a roller coaster for Elena, and I felt it extremely. Happiness, Love, Pain, Anger, Confusion....there were too many emotions to name, or even give names for. After Book 4, you will be aching for more even though you feel like you have gone through so much. If LJ Smith ever wanted to continue this series, I am POSITIVE she would have the readers to keep it a success. It was an absolute Masterpiece. Life may be unfair, and the most you can do is try or die trying. I will never forget that.
Rating: Summary: questions Review: I realy did enjoy this series. The ending of the 3rd book surprised me and I was a little sad too. But the ending of the 4th book was happy, yet it letf alot of things undone. Thats great Elena's back and she and Stefan can be together. But what are they going to do now. How are they going to explain that to ppl. Like her family etc. And what happens to the other characters. I would give anything if L.J. Smith would write another book to this series. I came across this series by complete accident. And I'm glad I did. I really enjoyed it. I would recomend this to anyone who loves to read.
Rating: Summary: Dark Reunion! Review: Dark Reunion: This book is from Bonnie's POV. Anyways Bonnie starts to have these dreams with Elena in them. Elena tells her about a new enemy coming to Fells Church. So with the guidance of Elena's spirit the gang battles against their new enemy. Will they succeed? I want Damon. Ok he is hott! L.J. knows how to make these perfect bad boys. Great conclusion to the Vampire Diaries.
