The book was really nice. So touching. I didn't liked the end, though. Elena never actually got to tell Damon that she loved him. I would have like to see his reaction to those words. The Stefan-Damon end was really touching. The last line was really beautiful. There's not enough of Damon in the book as I'd have liked but I really hope we get to see more of him in the next.
[Quoted from this book:]
Finish it, his weary voice said in her mind.
Elena hesitated for an instant. There was something about those eyes that called up memories inside her. Standing in the moonlight, sitting in an attic room… But the memories were too vague. She couldn’t get a grasp on them, and the effort made her dizzy and sick.
And this one had to die, this green-eyed one called Stefan. Because he’d hurt him, the other one, the one Elena had been born to be with. No one could hurt him and liv...more

I am…content with how things wrapped up in The Fury. It all made sense. The characters were left in plausible places within the plot. Elena's journey as a newborn vampire was interesting. Her evolution from self-centered Queen Bee to self-sacrificing vamp was well done.
I would have liked a bit more Damon, as always. I am curious to see how it’s possible to have more books in this series, though, with the way it ended. (I guess they could continue without Elena.) Also, with Katherine returning o...more

This book starts out way differently than the first two Vampire Diaries. The Fury , starts off were the second book left off. Elena becomes a vampire after being attacked by “something". She is a little weird the first time she encounters the two brothers , Stefan and Damon. She is extremely clingy to Damon, and it seems that she has forgotten everything that ever happened between her and Stefan. But after a couple of days she goes back to her usual self. But now she realized how nobody really u...more

Best book so far, mostly because everything happens in this book. All the different plots (okay, honestly there was only one plot, but all the various elements of that one plot) ended here.
I think what made this book so great was all the character growth. Elena finally showed lots of other positive traits besides being selfish: compassionate, caring, self-sacrificing, etc. Bonnie gets her own time to shine without looking like an idiot (although she isn't the brightest crayon in the box to begin...more

Someone becomes a vampire because someone kills them. In order to become a vampire you would have been fed upon by another vampire and fed on that vampire or several other vampires for several times. Then you would have to die to complete the change. At the end of this book someone becomes a vampire. It's because someone is being chased by some very strong Power. That power is able to manipulate the weather and was able to drive that person to his/her death and turn that person into a vampire. T...more
Okay, so this book was alot better. Maybe it just takes this author awhile to tell a story. The first two books were so boring and very anti climatic. The second especially. Well, I'am sorry, the end of the second book really grabbed me by the boo boo. So, I went on to read the 3rd. The 3rd held my intrest the whole time and kept me on my toes. The ending made me want to start reading the 4th instantly. I really want to know where the author is going to go now. I 'am hoping the the 4th book is b...more
Historia dramática y oscura.
Furia empieza exactamente por donde se quedó Conflicto y, en mi opinión, el principio es impactante. Ya el primer capítulo está lleno de acción y de situaciones inesperadas. Disfruté particularmente este primer capítulo. Me dejó sin respiración. El resto del libro es ligero y ágil. De lectura fácil y amena. Está lleno de sucesos, peligros y emociones, sin un momento para descansar o despistarse.

The beginning of the story was quite interesting. The writing really drew me in, but then it was a downwards spiral from there. But, the plot itself is pretty well done. A lot of things put down in the first and second novel comes up here and you can really see the story tensing up for an eventual conclusion.
I can see how Stefan's broody-angsty-ness can be very appealing. I can even see how Damon's bad-boy with a soft heart somewhere-deep-inside attitude is very appealing. The main three charact...more

"Dan siapa aku? Kamu tahu siapa aku?"
Elena terseyum kepadanya..........
"Tentu saja. Kamu Damon dan aku mencintaimu"
Elena Gilbert bukanlah gadis yang sama dengan gadis yang dicintai banyak orang. Ia bukan lagi gadis yang populer di sekolah, ia bukan lagi ratu di sekolah. Ia bukan gadis yang dicintai dan mencitai Stefen. Walau ada saat-saat ia merasa lebih aman dalam pelukan Stefan. Bahkan juga saat Stefan tidak takut lagi mengatakan bahwa ia mencintai Elena.
Ada sesuatu yang salah pada diri Elena!...more

I grew up on LJ Smith and though this is a good series, she has better. In terms of general environment, the books are definitely spookier and more atmospheric than their TV counterpart. In terms of actual plot, I would honestly just recommend the TV show. I don't think I've EVER said that before in a review, but it is true in this case. Stefan and Elena (in the books) are a very boring couple. I was always disappointed that Elena did not end up with Damon in the books, who was always more intri...more

people who wanted to like Twilight, but didn't
It's kind of hard to deal with the first three novels of the series individually, as they seem (to me, at least) to tell only one story. It's also hard to deal with these novels on their own, and not compare them to Twilight, so let's start there, with the comparison:
I have no idea why, after hating Twilight so very much, I was even remotely interested in The Vampire Diaries. Probably it was the cute boys on the tv show. Regardless, I'm really glad that I followed up, because The Vampire Diaries...more

After drowning from a car accident on the bridge in Fells Church, Virginia, Elena returns from the dead as a vampire. The idea baffles the grief stricken Stefan because he was sure that he hadn't given her enough blood to change her. But he soon learns the truth as he discovers that Damon has also been exchanging blood with her. And after Elena returns, she's highly irrational and tries to kill Stefan. But luckily Damon stops her...

After finishing book three of the Vampire Diaries, and liking it considerably more than the first two installments, I noticed the irony of the titles and how I felt about each book.
The Awakening - I never woke up for it.
The Struggle - I struggled to get through it.
The Fury - I was gonna be really irritated if this book wasn't moderately better than the first two.
Thank you! It was better! (Moderately.)

This review is just for "The Fury" which is book three in the "Vampire Diaries" series. This series continues to surprise me. SPOILER ALERT I did not expect Elena to be turned into a vampire. I know it is the logical outcome of spending time with vampires, but when it happened in book two I was surprised. I kind of put the book down in shock at that point. Then the conclusion of this one was full of more surprises. It turns out I was totally wrong about who the Other Power was. Part of me hopes...more

The third book deals with Elena's adjustment to her vampirism, as well as her confusion over loving both brothers. Stefan finds Elena dead, and believes that Damon was the force chasing Elena. They fight, and in the middle of it, Elena awakens, and attacks Stefan— Damon had given Elena more of his blood in the exchange, and, as such, Elena viewed Stefan as a threat to her creator. They stop the fight, Stefan is heart broken, assuming that her attack meant she loved Damon more, and Damon tries to...more

Não há como voltar atrás. Elena transformou-se e com isso a sua mente parece ter levado um abanão completo. Não reconhece mais Stefan como o seu grande amor, mas sim Damon. E é com ele a seu lado que ela deseja passar o resto do tempo, mesmo que para isso tenha que destruir Stefan. Durará esta confusão mental muito tempo?

Quando scrissi la recensione al secondo capitolo della saga del Diario del vampiro, dissi che mi sarei aspettato cambiamenti nella struttura del romanzo che sembrava avesse perso ritmo e pathos.

The books are getting a hell of a lot better. The writing has improved tenfold, the characters are becoming much more interesting and have some complexity to them now.
Damon's not just the "evil brother" anymore, he has something softer about him. Stefan is less mysterious and regular becoming a bit more bitter and dark in this novel. Elena... well her change is the most obvious, and I won't spoil it for people who haven't read the books.

"The Fury" by LJ Smith is part of the vampire diaries series. It is book 3. The book is fiction. It is about Elena Gilbert, who had been in a car crash and comes back as a vampire. She has 13 days to fix everything before she dies. As well as this, Stefan and Damon have to join forces to defeat the other power who turns about to be an old face. In my opinion, this book can be confusing at points but very understandable aswell. It has too many diary entries from too many different people, that is...more

“Something was shining on Damon's face. She reached toward it, touched it, and lifted her fingers away in wonder.
"Don't be sad," she told him, feeling the cool wetness on her fingertips. But a pang of worry disturbed her. Who was there to understand Damon now? Who would be there to push him, to try to see what was really inside him? "You have to take care of each other," she said, realizing it. A little strength came back to her, like a candle flaring in the wind. "Stefan, will you promise? Promise to take care of each other?”
