 Must Read! April 20, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I loved this book. I highly recommend it for anyone who likes fantasy and vampire novels. It's the second volume in a series so make sure you read the first one beforehand. I couldn't put it down.
Excellent! April 17, 2008

I read the first three books after finding them at my old school library years ago. And I must admit, I ALMOST didn't read them and that is mainly because I thought the covers looked old and boring. Of course, there is the old rule: "Never judge a book by its cover!" I'm so glad I did decide to read them! I fell in love with "The Vampire Diaries" series after reading them the first time. I reread them again and again, checking them out more than once just to read them over and over!
Later I found the fourth one, and it's just as great as the others! The fact that Bonnie was the main character made it even better, as she is one of my favorite characters.
If I hadn't read "The Vampire Diaries," I would have never known about this great writer and her wonderful books!
The Fury = Great; Dark Reunion = Skip It April 6, 2008

I read this books way back when they first came out in the early 90's and was overjoyed to find they had been reissued, although I wish they would have been reissued separately instead of in an omnibus edition. The original Vampire Diaries trilogy is brilliant: fast-paced, clever, and well-written, culminating in a climax that will leave the reader with pulse racing.
The epilogue, Dark Reunion, was, unfortunately, a let down. I would recommend reading the original trilogy and skipping on the entirety of the fourth volume - it's muddy and lacks the spark and clarity of the first three. Trust me, you're not missing out on anything.
Definitely worth reading, however, if you are looking for something to page through while waiting for Meyer's next Twilight book to be released.
 I hated it! April 3, 2008
1 out of 8 found this review helpful
Ok so I can't actually tell you I hated the first part because the books are well written, but once you get to the second book you'll see. They build this story up and then all of the sudden its from Bonnies point of view I mean are you kidding its even worse when you see the reason for the change in point of view. If he had not changed the point of view it would have been an amazing book oh well he sucks though. First part was good and you might as well buy it so ok just don't get too excited by the end.
good ending March 20, 2008
i give this series a 4 1/2. it was a really great ending to a good series. in the first two books we saw elena as a self centred girl used to getting her way, possibly shallow. none of this was a conscious undertaking on her part, but just how she was, but she begins to grow by the second book. in the third book, elena is not at all the girl we met in the first book (and not for the obvious reason). throughout the series elena was a strong proactive heroine, but in the third book and onward (the second too a bit but most notably in the third) she channels that strength of spirit and energy away from her own concerns and grows a bit. she was really a great character and i enjoyed reading her story. the relationship between her and the other characters were all believable well done and the situations and resolutions draw you into the story. i liked how the book ended as well. it was a nice catharsis after all the tension. overall, great series
