Well, I've recently strated reading the Saga that is Darren Shan, and i have to admit, i havent been able to stop reading the books. I have read up to book 7 out of the 12 book saga and i must highly praise the author Darren. His books are full of adventure, fighting and emotion. The Saga is all about Vampires and there battles with humans, the Vampaneze, some strange little man called Mr Desmond Tiny (Mr Des Tiny) and his little people. Although these books are aimed at young adults, i have been caught up with in the novels and the adventures of Darren Shan. The books are (supposedily) written true. Darren, although this is not his real name is writing about himself. About his experiences and journeys.
Darren first becomes mixed up in the world of Vampires when he steal an unusual spider from a Mr Crepsely, who is travelling with a circus apptly named Crique du Freak. This is the first book. Mr Crepsely turns out to be a Vampire, he bloods Darren when he comes to Mr Crepsely seeking medicine for his friend who was bitten by the spider. Although Darrens friend survives, Darren does not. He fakes his own death and ends up being burried alive! Being Half and Vampire and travelling with Crique du freak Darren meets lots of strange and wonderful people, such as Mr Tall ring master of Crique du Freak, Evra Von the snake boy, Hans Hands, the wolf man and not forgetting Mr Tiny and his Little People who always wear blue hooded cloaks and never speak, (until book 5). Now if you will excuse me i shall continue with my reading, i shall inform you after i have finished the 5 books that still remain, untill then i bid you a fond fair well.....
