This book is a lot better than the previous book, however, it is still pretty bad. It is only about teenage angst and not at all about a good plot. I think I could be ok with his book if there would be a reason why both Stefan and Damon are so obsessed with Elena that all this would happen. I understand it in the tv show, but I need the explanation here as well and not have the tv show fill in the gaps that don't make sense yet. (For example, Stefan could have gone away as soon as he realized that Damon was there, or when he discovered that Elena was so similar to Katherine as if seems that he did not go to Fells Church especially for her in his POV)
