The preeminent guide to watching The Vampire Diaries! When I discovered Crissy's first book, I could not WAIT for the second. Though not as snarky as twitter or chatroom conversations that ultimately come about during and after an episode where we hash and re-hash what we think is everything, Crissy never fails to deliver! The "devil's in the details"--I particularly enjoy those fine points that seem to slip by the rest of us...the paintings on the wall (replicas of actual stolen works), the closetful of leather jackets, an ORANGE! I love her analogies and references to classic works of literature and history. They are always spot-on, and frequently things that never occurred to the viewer. The format is perfect--glad she kept it from the first book! The interviews, the timeline, the sidebars (which I cheat and save till last)...Crissy's book makes anticipation of the next season a thrill! Love the "previously on" and "compelling moments"...I may not always agree with the most compelling, but she certainly makes an excellent case! As a fan of the book series, too, I enjoy seeing the comparisons to Fell's Church. Really saves me from having to go look them up! p.s. I'm still looking for that geneaology/family tree chart I suggested last year before it turns into a forest! Kudos!

I really enjoyed this book and the companion to season 1 as well. Both books give you great insights into each episode. There are tons of things that I hadn't thought of or realized while watching the show that were pointed out in the companion book. Ms. Calhoun did a great job, and I look forward to future Unofficial Companions to TVD. If you're a fan of TVD, you can't afford to miss out on these books!

Ive only read the sample and already Im hooked. It goes along well with the series and I like the humorous stories from set aka Paul Ian and Nina all ending up getting hurt or sick during filming. Keep up the great work

A Good Gift for an Avid Fan
I gave this book as a gift to a sister who loves the Vampire Diaries books and series. It doesn't provide a lot of "inside" information on the series beyond what the author has... Read more
