It's scary good!
Cirque Du Freak is the forth book in the series. Although i have not read the other books i was able to keep up with the story very well. This book is a stroy about a thirteen year old vampire, Darran Shan, who works at the Cirque Du Freak, a Circus of Terror. One day Mr. Creapsly, Darran's mentor says to Darran that they are going to Vampire Mountain. It is a place where all the Vampires meet every twelve years. Darran, being a young Vampire, is still unaware of the Vampire customs and is shocked to hear of the jouney's difficulty. It is said the journey tests to see who is worry of the council. If you make it you are worry but if you don't you die trying. Before leaving a man by the name Mr. Tiny, who helped create Vampire Mountian hundreds of years ago, talks to Mr. Creapsly and Darran. He says he is sending three little people to escort them. The Vampires make the journey with great difficultly but eventually get there. When there one of the little people, Harkut Mulds sends a letter to the Vampire Princes saying the Vampanaze Lord is rising. Panic spreads around the mountain. What will happen? That is for u to find out.
scared to death
I really like Vampire Mountain. I have read evey book in the Cirque Du Freak series. In this book Darren gets blooded to the stone of blood through a sharp needle. Every vampire has to get blooded or they are sentenced to the Hall of Death. It is amazing he has the guts to go up to Seba, a champion fighter. This book is good for people with the thirst for blood and gor. Darren is very gutsy and never gives up somthing he believes in. Would you do what Darren does? I would not do anything like him.
A half-vampire and a half-book
I have enjoyed this series so far, but this book was incomplete. The first three books were complete self-contained stories. This book setup the story, but then came to a cliffhanger ending. You need to buy the next book to read the complete story. Essentially, I had to pay full price for a half-book.
What happened?!
The first three Cirque books were awesome! The series started out spectacular. It should have had that quality, and be great from beginning to end.
So what happened????
Darren Shans writing style and voice seem to have changed. It's been eight years, now, and Darren and Mr. Crepsley are off to vampire mountain. And, um, that's about it. Call me ignorant, but that's all I could see. Some parts on the way there were great, but the rest went way downhill. To me, the rest of the book compiled of Mr. Crepsley's friends, and how Vampire Mountain works. A plot only comes near the end, with a cliffhanger. I definately did not enjoy this as much as I did with Tunnels of Blood. I liked seeing Darren interact with the "normal" world and Evra Von. Things change, but something about this book doesnt seem right. I do hope things shape up soon.
vimpire mountain
i give this book 3 becaue itsbored and only thing that they talk about is that how do they get there.its about darren sean who goes to the vimpire mountain and he takes 2 little man and a wolf. and some part of the book is exciting because like how the wolf tried to save sean from danger andmostly its boring because it toook half of the book to just to get there
