Cirque Du Freak "!fast-paced and compelling book which leaves the reader hungry for more." JK Rowling 'Brilliant, macabre tale.' Guardian "I read Cirque Du Freak last week. I loved it. I love the way you manage to juggle the funny with the unpleasant, the affection with the hurt. It's great story-telling." Roddy Doyle The Vampire's Assistant "The Vampire's Assistant blazes a thrilling, gruesome trail through a fascinating plot." The Good Book Guide Vampire Mountain "Get your teeth into it!" Funday Times

5.0 out of 5 stars Bloddy Brilliant, 25 Oct 2001
This was one of the better books. In which Darren has to face five deadly trials to prove himself worthy of being a vampire. Each trail has its own unique way of testing him and will each prove very challenging. As the story unfolds we learn more about each character, get this, Mr C has emotions! (yes the impossible has happened). We discover more about Vampire way of life and how hard it really is, but it does have its perks although they are very strange. During the book madam Octa makes some friends, prophecies come to hand and death comes on fast wings to those who are not fast enough. With an ending full of betrayal, murder and self sacrifice it is a true cliff-hanger and it's well worth it,

BRING OUT THE NEXT ONE FAST!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most compelling and engrossing books ever written, 22 Dec 2001
By A Customer
The author of this book is a genius.(big breath) Darren Shan can write with such an amazing style and power that I have struggled to get every book as soon as possible because as soon as I started the Cirque Du Freak I became bound to this enthralling saga and I virtually LIVED the life of Darren Shan.
P.S.Darren Shan is the better than J.K.Rowling.IT'S TRUE!!!!!!!!!
