5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant...............Bloody Brilliant!, 13 April 2005
This review is from: The Saga of Darren Shan - Vampire Rites Trilogy (Paperback)
Comment on my starring system.
1 star very disappointing stuff or a very bad item
2 stars ordinary and nothing special AT ALL
3 stars The mark under 'good'
4 stars 'good'
5 stars Absolutely brilliant (an item has to be very, very special to get 5 stars)

The Vampire Rites Trilogy is the second in the Darren Shan Vampire Trilogy series. The Vampire Rites trilogy covers books 4, Vampire Mountain, 5, The trials of death, 6, The Vampire Prince. One of the best thing about these books is that there is always a prologue at the beginning, telling you all about what happened in all of the books before the one you are reading. (e.g. bk. 4 will have a short prologue covering books 1 through 3). The only thing about these books is that the last Book included in the trilogy always seems to be the most interesting and compelling. This is what draws you in to read the next three books (for Vampire Rites, there is a next trilogy compilation called Vampire War) which in turn draws you into the next book which is particularly annoying if it has not been published yet! (After Vampire War trilogy, there is a trilogy which covers bks. 10,11,and the final book in the saga, 12-and, it hasn't been published yet!!)

Great book with some chilling moments, but with no extremely distasteful bits that often seem to destroy a horror book.

Definately Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vampire Rites Trilogy, 16 Nov 2005
By 
Calum Fairweather "ccalumf" (Huntly, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Saga of Darren Shan - Vampire Rites Trilogy (Paperback)
The second trilogy out of The Saga of Darren Shan, these books are as chilling as the earlier ones in the saga. Lot's of spooky, horrible to gut-wrenching and "you better be prepared, this part's scary as hell!" parts in this trilogy with the following books:
Book 4: Vampire Mountain
Book 5: Trials of Death
Book 6: The Vampire Prince
To start with, if you already now what has happened in the saga up to this point, you can ignore this: Darren Shan was a regular schoolboy, until he came face to face with Mr Crepsley and his spider Madam Octa, he then get's blooded, and eventually becomes a half-vampire, and follows them into the night. But this is now, Darren, In Vampire Mountain, goes on a deadly trek to Vampire Mountain itself. He then meets up with some Vampire Prince's and faces what happens to be a dreadful challenge.
Trials of Death is where Darren takes up his deadly Trials where it's do or die. It's as simple as that, will he succeed or get thrown into a stake pit.
The Vampire Prince is where Darren must outwit a Vampire Prince, or face death again, will he rule the night?
This trilogy in my opinion is an important part of the saga, so without this it'll be incomplete, so any new Darren Shan fans, or readers or horror buy this and the rest of the saga NOW! 'Nough said!

5.0 out of 5 stars Darren Shan, 20 Feb 2004
This review is from: The Saga of Darren Shan - Vampire Rites Trilogy (Paperback)
I'm a huge fan of all the Darren Shan books and have been from the moment i read the first one. They offer a completely original and exciting insite into the world of vampires. I would reccommend this book to anyone who enjoys being completely absorbed into an alternative world. The best thing being is these books just keep coming!
