Il Ritorno (2009) It felt like it took me forever to read this book. I thought about not finishing it but then I want to read the whole series, so I didn't.This time Elena was a whole lot better. In the beginning she was an angel (I think?), after coming back from the dead. I liked her as an Angel. Her attitude was better and she actually treats people nicer. I kind of felt sorry for Damon. They hate him when he does something wrong and they hate him when he does something decent. I loved the parts when he and Bonnie interacted. If Damon had to end up with someone I'd rather it be her. He's a bad person and he knows it, he doesn't care what other people think. I hated it when he started thinking what Elena would think of him.I wasn't really surprised about anything that happened in this book because it turns out I already did read it, long ago. I thought this book was horribly written, outlandish fanfiction. I only got about 30% of the way through it. I was not the world's biggest fan of the original four books, but have a much better appreciation for them now, after TRYING to read this fifth one. It feels to me like someone took the whole TVD section of fanfiction.net, dumped all the words into a bowl and then used them as confetti. This one is a hot, incoherent mess, and I feel really sorry for the characters who got butchered in the making of it. Unfortunately, I will probably not be reading any more TVD books now.
