Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant

I read the book Cirque Du Freak by Darren Shan. Darren Shan has written many books Cirque Du Freak is a twelve book series about a boy who becomes a vampire. Since the book Cirque Du Freak is a series they are all the same just with a little bit of a different twist to the story. The book is about a boy named Darren Shan who encounters a vampire who changes his life forever.

               

Darren Shan is just another boy running around having fun throwing air planes when he becomes dizzy.  He wakes and finds a ticket for an unknown cirques. Darren and his friends see the address and decide to go see what this place looks like and to see if they can buy some more tickets. The day of circus Darren arrives at the address again and there is a building there this time but there wasn’t before. He walks around to look and see what this was all about he walks into a room and finds a spider then he steals it little does he know who he stole it from.

               

This book was a great read it had adventure and it makes you want to keep reading because of the crazy things that happen on almost every page. It’s not a very long read but if you like vampires and weird cool creators this is a book for you. I would definitely say  to this is a book to read.

Cirque Du Freak: Vampire's Assistant

The Book I read is called “Cirque Du Freak : Vampires Assisstant. The  author of this book is Darren Shan, and he has made a series of the “Cirque Du Freak” books.  The book takes place in a small town, where the two friends Steve and Darren have their lives changed forever.

The book is about two friends in middle school (Darren, and his friend Steve). They are out in the town one night, and they pass a strange man who passes them a flyer. The flyer reads Cirque Du Freak and tells of a show going on for one night only. They decide to get the money to go to the circus and Darren is instantly in awe of Larten Creplsy’s spider, madame octa. He decides to come back to the circus after it is all closed, and steals the spider. He ends up getting the spider,and gains the ability to control it. He invites his friend steve to come over and play with his spider, but his life changes for good after that night. In all, I enjoyed the slow, and slowly unfolding story. Reading one page just makes you want to read and find out what happens next in the story.

The story of the book all together is striking. You get to learn all about what makes Darren the way he is. You also learn about how Darren adapts and perservers major obstacles in his life. The book in all was a great read. If your looking for a good way to keep your mind entertained with compelling story and plot, the Cirque Du Freak books are for you. I would highly recommend this to someone who also loves a long series of books, because theres plenty more story to unfold with the books.
