I can deal with the whole loyal, ‘golden retriever’ dog analogies in regards to Matt… but ‘heartbroken puppy’ really is taking it a bit far. It makes him sound like a moping, clinging ex, when he really, really isn’t. He’s so much more than that. Sigh. *puts some extra effort into waving his Matt flag*

But yeah, other than the Matt thing (and being a bit off date-wise with Elena’s parents dying), it’s a good article about the books. :D

Ugh, I wish they’d stop comparing TVD to Twilight EVERY time. Sure, you need to sometimes, but not all the time.

It mentioned that it was hard to understand what was going on, but that never happened to me. Except in the fifth book, which thoroughly confused me most of the way through.

Hey, everyone. I’m thrilled that you’re reading the blog. I know what I wrote was a pretty huge generalization — cramming my opinion of five books into one blog post. And yeah, the Twilight thing’s getting tedious, as I said, but that’s my attempt to turn MTV’s hoards of Twilighters on to new things. I hope you join the conversation over at HC about all this, and let me know what other angles you want covered. My review of the TV pilot’s going up on Friday. Love this site, btw!

Thanks for commenting! :)

It’s very difficult to get condense these things down into one blog post, and we think you did a really good job. I’d noticed that MTV was doing a hell of a lot of backing for the Twilight movie last year, so if you did manage to get the word out about TVD to even some of those fans, that would be awesome. Really, the best of luck with that. :)

Looking forward to the pilot review!
