BookSpark discussion

Funny thing is, I'm creating this discussion post while watching an episode of Secret Circle! It's the Valentine's Day one. I haven't watched any of the episodes this month so I'm playing catch-up. Anyway, we're supposed to be talking about the book not the show (though I suspect there'll be a lot of that discussed too. Who can resist?)

I just finished the book, I did like it but, I'm not really sure if I like where this book went. I am sure that is mostly because you could tell it was not written by L.J. Smith. Diana was quite bossy, Adam was all about the circle and kept siding with Diana over Cassie.

I did like it, because of the show I pictured the characters as the actors/actresses that play them on tv. (When I first read the series, there was never a tv show in the works)
I am patiently waiting for the next one to see, where they will take it.

I haven't read the books yet (I have them to read) but I love the tv series.

I am afraid that if I read the books it will ruin the series because I know they will be different.

That is why I haven't ever started the Vampire Diaries book either LOL!

I haven't read this yet (right after exams hopefully!). I read the first three just before the start of the TV series and I didn't really enjoy them, partly because of Smith's writing style. I'm curious to see how a book with the same plot but a different writer will work out for me! I hope I enjoy it more than I did the others!

I totally understand where you're coming from. I haven't read the VD books either for that reason! I don't think you'd be missing too much by not reading the SC books - they're completely different from the show (including some character personalities) and I was sorta disappointed by them with all the hype.

I just recently found out the series was based on a book. I started watching it mid-season. I feel I am getting what's going on, but am looking forward to catching up through reruns this summer. I hope tonight's season finale is good.

As for the book, I'm not sure if I'll read it or not. Haven't made up my mind.
