When I first watched the pilot episode I was so lost. They totally left out another character in the books, and Elena had a sister not a teenage brother. They also havae Stephan living alone when in the book he's renting a room from this old lady.
Once I figured out what was going on I didn't think it was so bad. I personaly would have liked it if they would have kept some of the characters the same, but I can see why they changed them. At least they got good actors. I love Ian Somerhalder
So far I like it.
That's Interesting. I read on L.J. smiths's website that even though the show's plot is completely different, she's still happy with how it turned out.
It would have been more interesting if Elena had a sister in the show. Jeremy's kind of boring.
Keep watching the show. He starts off being rather boring but... at least he grew on me.
razz As for my own opinion of the series, quite frankly, I haven't read the book. I started off watching the series. After a few episodes, someone suggested that I read the books, and I picked it up from my boyfriend's shelves while I was waiting for him. I read the first chapter only to find out that it was completely different, and that I didn't feel like the book characters were as likeable. (Most likely just because I didn't give them any time to become so.) So I decided to give before I got confused with character names being the same and the rest being completely different. I might pick it up someday, when I'll be done with the whole tv series. For now, I'm addicted to the tv show and keeping it at that.
