Format:Paperback
I read the original Vampire Diaries books many years ago, I loved them, along with the newer books released. With the recent explosion in Vampire related media, the books were adapted as a TV series. I really liked the series and found the changes to the original novels fresh and very well done. Stefan's Diaries is written by the book series' author but follows the altered TV series story. In the original novels, Stefan was actually born in Renaissance Italy - The 1600's and came to Fells Church (as Mystic Falls was known as in the books) without any prior involvement with the town. The TV series changes Stefan's past to him being alive during the American Civil War in the early 1860's, living in Mystic Falls. Which to me makes much more sense as to why he returns almost 150 years later. L.J Smith has done a great job adapting her original story to fit the TV series' time and location while still retaining the essence of the previous novels.
Stefan's Diaries is set in 1864 and ties in brilliantly with the flashback scenes in the TV series' first season. We get to learn exactly what life was like for him and his brother Damon during this time; and an insight into their relationship and how it fell apart.
I reccommend this book for anyone who is a fan of the TV series and thus familiar with the adapted storyline. It gets in to Stefan's head and expands on the flashbacks from the TV series. If you haven't seen or don't like the TV version, it still works as a stand alone story. Fan's of the original novels I'm sure will like it too, though many things have changed the core plotline is essentially the same.

A great tie-in to the TV series! I first got interested in Vampire Diaries when the TV series was released, and now I'm addicted. I can't comment on the difference in details from the books as I haven't read them yet (although I do have them), but this is a great read to give you more information on Stefan's life before Elena. Sections of the book clearly mirror the flash back scenes from the show, but I found that amazing as I could see it all playing out in my head as if I was watching the TV, and it helped me to visualise the rest. I can't wait for the next book to be released so I can learn more about Stefan's past!

This book is really great! L. J. Smith has changed the plot line to fit with the TV series so all those who enjoy it can understand what happened in 1864 with Stefan, Damon and Katherine. Full of unrequited love, drama and romance, this book will be a great hit to all Twilight and Vampire Diaries fans! 5 Stars! :D

Poor writing & no research
It's a pity that the writers from the TV series who've had a hand in this couldn't bring some of their TV scripting skills to it. The idea is good but it's poorly done. Read more

Great book! I recommend it!
I liked so much this book. It's really interesting to see the story though Stefan's eyes. I think Stefan's Diaries are much better than The Vampire Diaries books. Read more
