I like this series a lot but it should have ended with book three. The fourth book was just really pointless and was more or less a repeat of what the last three books had been saying. However, it didn't take away from the rest of the series - it just didn't add anything.
It was interesting, and Damon is still hot, but it's poorly written, not intriguing, and nowhere near as awesome as the tv show. A rarity!
If you only want to read this book because you watched and LOVED the TV show - don't do it! It's VERY different from the TV show and I kept thinking that it wasn't right, that the book was wrong. But of course it wasn't - the TV show has made the storyline more complex. The storyline in the book is very basic and very unrealistic. I feel the book could have been written in one book instead of 2 or 3.
I was very disappointed - if you want to enjoy this book, only read it if you are under 15 years old and haven't watched the TV show.
