Vampire Diaries

I've finally finished the first four books from the Vampire Diaries series (The Awakening, The Struggle, The Fury, Dark Reunion). Six more to go :The Return: Nightfall, The Return: Shadow Souls, The Return: Midnight, The Hunters: Phantom, The Hunters: Moonsong, The Hunters: Eternity.
For those who said: 'Wow! The movie is exactly like in the book', i must say, as I've said it before, THE TV SERIES ARE NOT EXACTLY LIKE THE BOOK!!
In the movie there are several characters that do not appear at all (like Elena's four year old sister, Margaret) or will appear in the future. Elena is not as she was described in the book (blond hair, pale/translucent skin, dark blue eyes - lapis lazuli color-) she is played by Nina Dobrev, who has olive skin, long and straight dark brown hair and brown eyes.
One of Elena's friend in the novel is Meredith Sulez, howwever she did not appeared in the tv series so far. But probably will appear in the future.
In the novel Bonnie's last name is McCullough and in the movie is Bennett. She has druid ancestors and in the movie she is a witch, and Emily Bennett was her ancestor and Katherine Von Swartzschild protector.
Alaric Saltzman has 22 years old in the novel and falls in love with Meredith but in the movie he's in the late 30s and interested in Jenna, Elena's aunt.
Stefan and Damon are born in the 1500s in Italy, Florence and both die fighting to death after blaming each other for Katherine's death and in the movie they were born in 1800s in Mystic Falls, Virginia and were killed by their father after finding out that they are vampires. Also in the movie they are significantly younger than in the book.
The events in the book happen in another way than in the movie.
....
The list can go on and on and on about differences between the books and the movie.

So if anyone ever tells me that the book and the movie are exactly the same i will definitely slap him/her and sincerely tell him/her to shut the fuck up before making a remark.

If you want to know the differences read the books and watch the movie. Or read the Wiki page.

PS: I started to read Kelley Armstrong -The Summoning. A small review after i finish reading all the books.
