All true fans of the series "The Vampire Diaries" on the CW TV US knows that it is guided by the writer of the novel by LJ Smith, written back in the nineties of the last century. But few know that the series "The Vampire Diaries" - a book with popular novels - came into being only through the enthusiastic support of readers and hundreds of letters addressed to the author to ask to continue the story of the main characters.

With the dream of the book

Lisa Jane Smith was born and raised in America. She graduated from the university and engaged in experimental psychology and correctional pedagogy before his head went into the literature. The idea of ​​the novel first appeared Lisa Smith at school, but she has implemented ideas only after graduation, so was born the novel "Night of the Solstice."

A few years later, Smith released the first book of the series "The Vampire Diaries" "Awakening". In this novel to readers for the first time appear protagonists Elena, Damon and Stefan. The next two years were written three novels, continued: "Hunger," "Rage" and "Dark Alliance", and then the story of vampires has been shelved at the age of seventeen.

In the wake of the popularity of the series, new novels among fans went like hot cakes Patties. Hospitable dish .

These vampires

The images, which created a team of the series "The Vampire Diaries" on the screen, to a greater or lesser extent different from the literary prototype. Fans of the book of the drama were clearly angered by such an interpretation, but their voices were drowned in the enthusiastic audience feedback.

The biggest changes have been in the Statement Elena Gilbert, turning from a "golden girl" in a sad and lonely orphan. Nina Dobrev, embodied the character on the screen, create an incredibly touching and soulful image that does not fit with the selfish and calculating thoughts, which can meet the readers of novels.

"Book" Elena is very sociable person and conceited, she used to easily manage people, so when she meets at school "newcomer" Stefan Salvatore, then decides what will win his love. Stefan complaisant and even passive, he gives Elena a right to make decisions. Develop a relationship prevents the appearance of Damon's brother Stefan. Damon, in comparison with the series, has not so devilish charm, as disgusting character. It is petty and vindictive, it belongs to his brother with contempt and about any family feelings between them are not talking (plus in favor of the show's writers - corrected this deficiency).

The novel in paperback

Drama Smith is always based on the crisis of relationships: love triangle, betrayal Treason: Fall or loyalty to yourself? , The inability to be together, magical intervention - that need to roll out the story. Despite the general and primitive simplicity, Smith called the book a very non-trivial, and even thrilling.

Channel CW, filmed "The Vampire Diaries" took another job in a series of books "The Secret Circle", but after the first season of the project was closed - too small rating indicates the project. "The Vampire Diaries" is at the moment are the highest rating TV series and the next year planned out the spin-off of the life of an ancient vampire Klaus.
