Cirque Du Freak

This is one of my favorite books. It puts a twist on the way people look at vampires and Darren Shan really brings it to life by speaking like a teenager going through this rough time. I always want to read these books and I hate having to stop. Reading this book keeps me entertained and I’m always surprised. I love reading the introduction to the book. Darren Shan is still the character and he’s telling us about his love of spiders and it made the whole book seem all the more real. I found myself forgetting that I was just reading a fiction book and this man was nowhere near my age. If it weren’t for this collection I would hate reading, but Darren Shan makes me see the fun in reading and the imagination it brings is fantastic. The first chapter gives me plenty of time for laughs before the action when I’m clinging to my book. I would recommend this to all horror fans because it’s a way of life you never expected. Sometimes you laugh until tears come to your eyes, other times your crying because the character goes through real problems in his own horror story.
