***SPOILER ALERT!*** 
 Okay. It was pretty good, but the romance was a little turned off. Elena's character shows this strong, determined, bossy young lady who ends up having whatever she wants. Meeting Stefan and having him is her goal, well, I thought it would have been better if there was a little more of passion. Damon who is this hot, sexy vampire, who is an asshole at times but who is determined to make Elena his Dark Princess. 
 It was fast paced, thrilling at times, and had a little bit of humor.
