CONCLUSIONS
Elena Gilbert she has blonde hair and blue eyes she has brown hair and brown eyes its just weird
Elena's sibling Margaret Jeremy it works okay
Bonnie white girl with red hair black girl with brown hair its okay, i kinda like the brown hair better.
Aunt Jenna has a boyfriend, Robert Alaric Saltzman i like Alaric better
Setting/Location Fell's Church, Virginia Mystic Falls, Virginia
Meridith She exists She does'nt exist I liked Meridith
Vicki Wasnt't very important and was not related to Matt Is related to Matt and becomes a vampire and then is killed by Stefan Its ok i guess
Time period Damon and Stefan were turned vampires 1500's 1800's they seemed more interesting from the 1500's
Plot

they dont match up at all
Elena Dies twice nothing too exciting i like the books better
Alaric Was a vampire hunter/specialist who dated Meredith Is just a teacher who has somewhat become a vampire hunter because of his former wife, Isobel. He is dating Jenna. I like the series better in that sense because Alaric and Jenna are better together than Meredith with Alaric. Meredith and Alaric together was just weird. I like Alaric better all together on the tv series.
Bonnie Is kind of naive, hates her witch powers. Is wiser and more cunning, uses her witch powers more freely and of own will. i like Bonnie in the books better, because she is just sweet and she would never do to Elena what she did in the series.
Vampires Can read minds, and Damon and Katherine at least can turn into animals at their choosing. I don't think they can read minds and at the beginning of the season they only HINTED about Damon being able to turn into a black crow. I like the books better. It is just more interesting.
Caroline Hates Elena and does everything in her power to sabatoge her relationship with Stefan. Gets pregnant by Tyler. Gets over Stefan choosing Elena over her, dates Matt. Is bff with Bonnie. I like the Television version much better. Caroline is nicer and much more likeable.
Tyler Is a werewolf. Is evil and kills Sue. Is a werewolf. Matt's best friend. A nice guy mainly. Definitely like tv Tyler better!!

Elena's reaction to discovering Stefan is a vampire		 Is shocked at first then gives him a kiss and tells him it DOESN"T matter.
Freaks out and tells Stefan they can't be together		 Like book much better!
Caroline's last name
Forbes
Truitt		 Like Forbes better.

The book seems to outdated and the characters tacky. Elena as brunette and not the typical blonde bombshell is an example, plus her character in the series can relate more to normal girls and seems more moral than Elena in the book. The vampire/werewolf/witch history in the series is A BILLION TIMES WAAAY BETTER than what was written in the books. Overall, the characters in the series are more interesting and fit their roles better than those in the book. The plot in the tv series is also better and less goofy than in the book. Even the history of Mystic Falls and the Salvatore Brothers/Elena/Katherine love triangles are better in the series
