Cirque Du Freak
Darren Shan
Cirque Du Freak was a great book I really liked it. It Started off with two friends Steve and Darren and they are at school waiting for there teacher. Before class Steve had shown Darren a poster with a circus of freaks on the cover and they decided to go even though it was hard to get tickets. Three days later they were sitting in the crowd watching the show and they could not believe how amazing it was until Steve saw the performing spider. Even though they both loved spiders the problem was the man who was the trainer. Steve had seen him in a vampire book and new that he was a vampire right away. Once they left the show Darren had made up his mind that he would steal the spider.
Later that night Darren snuck out of the house and stole the spider, he was so happy. Every day he took her out and trained her with a flute. One day Darren invited Steve over to show him the spider. Steve was so scared because he new that Mr. Crepsley the vampire would come and hunt him down. Steve still wanted to see the spider anyway. Taking the spider out of the cage Darren was surprised that the spider jumped and bit Steve on the neck paralyzing him. Darren told his parents to call 911 and that he was stung by a bee. The only way to save Steve would be to ask Mr. Crepsley for a cure. Mr. Crepsley would only agree to give the cure if Darren came with him and became a half vampire. Darren agreed and Steve was spared.
Darren and Mr. Crepsley had to leave to go away from Steve or else they would be caught. So they came up with a plan Mr. Crepsley would snap Darren’s neck give him a potion and throw him out a window not killing him but slowing his pulse to right before it stops and not making him able to move.
His family made funeral arrangements and there was a wake. After everyone had left Darren felt himself being poked and prodded and it was Steve and he new that Darren was alive and a vampire. Six feet under ground after being buried alive and now he was just waiting for Mr. Crepsley to dig him up. Finally he was found and he got out of that small coffin. Darren decided to walk around because he was so stiff. While walking he stumbled upon a figure it was Steve and he was carrying a stake he told Darren that he would spend his whole life looking for Darren and that Darren would die. That was the end of book 1 and I would rate it a 10 out of 10, I recommend this to all fantasy readers.
