The Vampire Diaries: The Awakening by L. J. Smith-Parent book review


Quick Facts
  • Author-L. J. Smith
  • Pages-272
  • Genres-Vampires/Urban Fantasy
  • Series-the Vampire Diaries book 1
  • Age-12 to 16
The Vampire Diaries: The Awakening is one of the original teen vampire series, that has now been turned into a TV show. The book and the TV show vary quite a bit and in this case the TV show is a little more complex than the book. Stephan, a vampire, is taken aback when he goes to a new school and meets Elena, who reminds reminds Stephen of Catherine, a girl from his past. The story line is fine, there are no real life lessons or anything else to take from the books. Now that I have read over 6 different vampire series I can’t say there is anything in this series that distinguishes it from the rest. There is romance, but nothing more than a kiss and the language is fine. The Vampire Diaries: The Awakening is a little violent as one of the teachers at the school is found dead in a Halloween haunted house.
