Is damon as awesome as he is in the ipakita than in the books!?

I think the ipakita portrays much madami of the Damon we like in the ipakita than in the books. Most of us only watch the ipakita for the damon slash DE moments,because there that amazing.
Damon is so much of a character development. I don't think we'd like him as much,if he was any other way. He entails so much self-loathing for someone who's so up his own backside. He has humanity underneath all the evil. He has so many layers which are likable and unique and the things he comes out with are just hilarious!.

Yes of course !! He has the best lines in the book n the return trilogy focuses on him

Yup! Ian's portrayal of Damon stays loyal to the book Damon. He's as awesome in the books as in the show.
But I have to warn you, there isnt much of him in the first book.

well IMO damon in the ipakita is better!
damon in the books is not as mean and sweeter...but idk he seems like he is missing some parts of damon that are in the show.

He's awesome in the books. Ian really did his homework on him.. especially with the smirks/mannerisms. pag-ibig it.
Although I loved the little moments Damon and Matt had in the book; like when Damon continued to call him "mutt" lol! I wished they had them in the ipakita every now and then

u have to read the book!
damon is so much madami funny and i pag-ibig his attitude
he isnt a crazy psycho like the show!
he is sweet and manipulative and NEVER violent with women he teases his little brother but he respects him and he is passionate about elena but caring and protective with bonnie
he is really wealthy (ferrari...) and he is loyal

damon: katherine...
Katherine: yes my love
damon:...GET THE HELL OF OUT HERE!!!!!

yes totally the ipakita is better he is very awesome
