Right i am having a inner debate with myself. I don't know whether to buy the VD books, i hear they are good, but are they worth the read? & is Delena good in the books ?

I loved the Original series. The Return and whatever followed that series, weren't that good in my opinion. I didn't ship Delena though, because Elena is a selfish bitch in the books ^^ Damon was just as awesome as in the TV Show, and the vampire-species in general was very good as well, I'll give the books that =P

But hey, many people think otherwise. You should just give the books a try, and see for yourself =)

I had this debate myself, I bought the books (1-7) I didn't regret it :-) I love Damon in the show & I love Damon in the books. The best book is book 6 - Shadow souls (Delena centred) Not everyone likes the books but you will never know if you like it unless you try!! :-)
