Agreed! It’s so weird too because we’re both the same age now (I’m 28 too!), and everything you just wrote is what I’ve been trying to tell other people. I also didn’t know that there was a fifth book until a little while ago as well. Only since I’ve been seeing the commercials lately on CW that a series is coming out now. The thing is…now of all times??? Back when I was reading the series as a teenager, I was always dying for there to be an idea of a t.v. series or even a movie. So many years passed, so eventually I got over it, but never forgot about the books and how much I loved them.

I’m just a little frustrated that now of all times, they’re going to finally make a t.v. series, because it’s during the whole Twilight craze. Therefore, the younger generation most likely won’t know of The Vampire Diaries books (first 3, then 4), and readily assume that it’s a copy off of the Twilight series! Even when I first saw the Twilight books coming out in bookstores a couple years back, my first thought was “huh? This seems like a bite off of The Vampire Diaries books!”). That just made me never bother to read the Twilight books either.

I am in a rage right now. I just checked out IMDB and saw who they have cast. Every single person looks NOTHING like the descriptions in the books. I have been a fan for years of this series and was so happy to hear they were bringing it life, but now I am just shocked. Bonnie is supposed to be descendent from the Druids and she has red hair and freckles! The Bonnie they have cast is the complete opposite. And anyone who has read the first chapter of the first book knows that Elena is fair and extremely blonde, not dark skinned and dark haired!!! Oh my gosh. What is Kevin Williamson thinking??? L.J. Smith should be ashamed for allowing them to do this to those wonderful books.

I just started reading the Vampire Diaries and am in love with them!! But I wonder how the books will be enough to be made into a series…idk but i will watch it no matter what! I just really hope they at least stick to the basic plot and the characters have to be L.J. Smith’s description. This series better be as good as I think it can be and no one better try to say it is a rip-off from Twiilight. I absolutly refuse to read Twilight I hat following the crowd, but I am glad I did not miss the chance to read the Vampire Diaries. I love them!

I actually refused to read Twilight because I was such a huge fan of the Vampire Diaries.. (the first 4 books were out when I was a teen.. ) I had to purchase 2 sets of copies after the original set I owned was so worn from reading them… (now.. they’re also worn out)I have not yet read the 5th installment and will be purchasing tomorrow.. (Wasn’t aware there was a 5th till about.. oh.. 2 mins ago) I just really hope that they don’t do what they did to The Sword of Truth Novels and completely change the story..plot..characters.. for no apparent reason. I’m 28 and still in love with this series.. Here’s hoping it doesn’t stray..

omg!!!!!!!Im so excited about this.TWILIGHT IS JUST A BIG COPY OF VAMPIRE DIARIES. They even stole Matt from the story.Either stephanie meyers is a jerk or this was all a big coincidence.The world needs to see that somehow.

I am so excited! If this happens I will die of happiness, LJSmith’s wonderful work, The Vampire Diaries deserves much more notoriety then it gets, and I hope this isn’t just projected as a Twilight rip off because, as is mentioned in the article, this is much much older then the recent Twilight craze.

looking forward to this! Vampire Diaries was the original Twilight, and a lot better as well. Hopefully LJ Smith will finally start getting the recognition she deserves!
