Book Review: Awesome macabre for teenagers
Summary: 3 Stars
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!
Summary of Cirque du Freak: Tunnels of Blood
Darren Shan, the Vampire's Assistant, gets a taste of the city when he leaves the Cirque Du Freak with Evra and Mr. Crepsley. When corpses, drained of blood, are discovered, Darren and Evra are compelled to confront a foul creature of the night who may prove to be the end of them all...Following his blood-curdling adventures in A Living Nightmare and The Vampire's Assistant, half-vampire Darren Shan is settling into his day-to-day life at Cirque Du Freak, the traveling freak show he has joined. But before he can get too cozy, his vampire master, Mr. Crepsley, whisks him off to the big city for a mysterious mission. Soon, Crepsley, Darren, and Evra the snake-boy are embroiled in a bloody battle of wits between the vampire community and a mad, "vampaneze," a creature from a separate, more murderous race of vampires. Along the way, Darren meets his first girlfriend, and winds up putting her life, as well as everyone else's, in grave danger.
The latest installment of Darren Shan's bestselling saga will surely satiate his legions of bloodthirsty fans. As fast-paced and thrilling as ever, his writing will encourage even reluctant readers to devour the series. Luckily for all, it looks as though we haven't seen the last of this appealing, well-meaning (if occasionally bumbling) half-vampire. (Ages 10 and older) --Emilie Coulter
