Percy Jackson has stepped in to my life.

Customer Rating:

I tried reading Darren Shan's other series,The Demonta,and I could not get through it.So I tried Cirque Du Freak and really liked it.When I read through the third book I just thought it was stupid.Though it didn't stop me from wanting to read the rest of the series.Then when I was waiting for the next book I saw that I had the book The Lightning Theif on my shelf. I decided that I would use it as reading material until I got the fourth Cirque Du Freak book.I started reading The Lightning Theif and immediatley I was hooked.I started begging for more of the series and was not able to read the fourth book of the Cirque.The more I think about it the more I realize that the Cirque is really bland and has no good writing values.

Awesome macabre for teenagers

Customer Rating:

Dare I say that this where the series begins to show an ongoing plot? I enjoyed the first two, but it's still nice to see where the author is taking us, and that appears here in the third book of the series as Mr. Crepsley and Darren return to the human cities to trail a night killer that may or may not be attached to the vampire world. This is some of the best horror I've read. Darren Shan may not be the most artistic author, but he's not bad and he certainly knows how to put in the right chill-your-bones and gross-you-out description!

cirque du awesome!	Customer Rating:
Tunnels of Blood was one of my favorite cirque du freak books. it was the turning point in the series when darren learn of the vampaneze and their customs. This is the book that set off the chain of events that pushes the entire series forward!! a must read!!! the best thing about this book? more evra von!!!

Third book in the Cirque du Freak series

Customer Rating:

Third book in the Cirque du Freak series. After an old friend visits Mr. Crepsley, he takes Darren and Evra on a trip. Soon after they arrive in the city, the boys see a news report about mysterious murders taking place that involve victims whose bodies have been completely drained of blood. The boys suspect Mr. Crepsley, who has been secretive and strange since they arrived in town. Darren and Evra follow Mr. Crepsley and discover that he is following a man who they assume will be his next victim. Darren resolves to kill Mr. Crepsley before he murders the man. When Darren discovers what is really going on, well, that's when things really get bloody!

Husband Turns Off TV

Customer Rating:

Thanks to the Cirque du Freak book series my soon to be husband is actually turning off the television and reading every once in a while :) Darren Shan is a very suspenseful writer and keeps his readers on the edge of their seats for the entire wild ride :) I have all of Darren's books including two currently out of print books that are published under his full name Darren O'Shaughnessy: Ayuamarca: Procession of the Dead (City Book 1) Hell's Horizon (City Book 2)
