Shelf Life

Cirque Du Freak Lord of the Shadows, by Darren Shan
A book review

Darren Shan was an ordinary school boy when he got blooded by a vampire to save his best friends life. Later on he becomes the assistant of a vampire called Mr. Crepsley. Then they both and some other friend go 2 some town to hunt down a vampaneze, a mutated vampire. Years passed and they went to vampire mountain where he had to pass five trials to be part of the clan, then becomes a prince, started hunting for the vampaneze lord, got arrested along with his friends for killing innocent people but they escaped. Darren then goes to a weird dimension world with his pal Harkat to discover who he really was. Two years pass and Darren was at the Cirque Du Freak where he is going to meet up with the vampaneze lord named Steve leopard and Darren must kill him to save the clan.

Darren is along with the Cirque Du Freak going to different places and he ends up being at his own town when he was a normal child. There he discovers that his parents had leaved the town and his sister stayed and that she had a child. Darren then meets his old friend Tommy and he invites him to a game to see Tommy play. While Tommy was playing a vampaneze comes and kills him. Later on he finds out that the child that his sister has is also Steve’s son.

What I think about this story is that Darren should be very careful and should always take some weapon with him so that he could protect himself. I recommend this book to other people because it’s very interesting and they leave you wanting to read the other books that he has in the Cirque Du Freak series.
