![]() ![]() We get a good history on him and he is a deeper character than Elena and has a better attitude.There was soooo many things that were different between this book and the show, I really wouldn’t know where to start with it. ![]() He is very mysterious and wants to protect Elena. There was no relationship development.Stefan on the other hand I actually did like. I understand why Stefan would want Elena, but I don’t know why she wants Stefan other than she feels the need to take whatever she wants. There was no real connection between Elena and Stefan for me. It was unreal how fast the insta-love was. I just didn’t like her very much.And this book was the worst I have read on insta-love. ![]() In the show she is a caring person who puts others before herself, but in the book she was the queen bee at school and manipulated people to get whatever she wanted. It is quite different from the show!Elena was very different between the book and the show. I love the TV series, but I wasn’t in love with the book. I watched the first 3 seasons before I read this book. Find this review and more at On The Shelf!Well, this wasn’t exactly what I was expecting it to be. ![]()

Good Omens is about the coming apocalypse, written by fantasy visionaries and real-world friends Gaiman and Pratchett. I forget not everybody has bought three editions of Good Omens in their lifetime. But he changed his mind after receiving a posthumous letter from Pratchett that asked Gaiman to get it done without him and, well, here we are.
