Good

I liked learning the back story of the Salvatore brothers but since I'd already read the other books, I was kinda bored w this series.

Very good

This second book was much better than the first one. While we meet a character who is familiar to the TV series, Lexi, everything else about the story is completely untied and unrelated to the original vampire diaries books and TV series.

The reader find out how exactly Stefan met Lexi and how she taught him to control his vampire ways. Stefan Falls in love with a human for the second time and for anyone that has read any of the books or watched the TV series, it ends in tragedy.

Stefan shows his unrelenting desire to keep his brother safe and out of harms way and we all know how that ends.

Overall, there’s nothing about the book that surprises me or makes me believe that it’s amazing. But this is after reading all the original books and watching the show so, still, a good additional side story.

Eh... it's okay...

I really enjoyed part one of the Stefan diaries. I think because this series is more relate able than the original Vampire Diaries books (for me). This book was okay, the narrator did a wonderful job, but it felt like a stretched out chapter versus a whole book. I will be picking up the next one in the series (Due out in May), but this book is just a filler.

The details were too vague and i understand that they are from Stefan's POV, but Damon's character is not really being given a thorough look. He transformed overnight from the first book. He was this moral, strong character and then he becomes the shallow, ruthless killer without much attention as to why. [It is explained, but not to my satisfaction! I know i am a brat, but if you are a fan like i am... you might agree.]

Worth a listen, but perhaps wait for a sale or later in the year so your wait time between books 2 & 3 is shorter.

irritating

The only thing I really liked about this book was the narration. collins always does a wonderful job.
as far as story goes I thought it was shallow and useless. I did not like how Stephan became a ruthless killer with no kind of ethical remorse i found it disgusting and out of character.he went from an obedient spineless boy to a random killer. i also didnt like how he just keeps falling in love with whatever pretty girl he sees and decides he wants. I thought she book lacked depth and just seemed like a pointless filler story with no real purpose overall. I found myself scoffing and rolling my eyes through the whole thing, irritated with the story and especially the main character.
