Cirque Du Freak #6: The Vampire Prince : Book 6 in the Saga of Darren Shan

Rating:
Summary: Very good
Review: I would have given this a 4 1/2 if it were possible, but to me this wasnt the best of the series. It was still incredibly good, as are all of the books (minus the forth one). I only gave it four because the book was kind of perdictable. I was only unable to predict one thing that happened in this book, and might i add that twist was incredible. Darren is an amazing writer and I look forward to reading the rest of the books. I definatly recomend this book!

Summary: The Vampire montain trilogy draws to a close...
Review: In a blaze of glory. "the Vmpire prince" concludes the story arc which started with Darrens journey to prove himself to the vampires in "vampire mountain" and continued as he undertook five deadly trials in "trials of death" Now, left for dead, Darren must find a way to re enter Vampire mountain and warn the Generals and princes of the traitor in their midst...and the threat under their very noses! Despite the excitement that builds thoughout the book, it's pace is somewhat slower than Darrens previous outings, and this book is far more political - if it can be called that - showing that nothing is simply black and white and good and bad can often be hard to distinguish. The book is more reflective, despite the tension and battles, and we see the main charater coming towards an emotional maturity, and faceing things, such as death...
If you havn't yet read the rest of the serise you must do so first, but if you have you're in for a treat, despite some complex issues the book has shans trademark humor and keeps to its values of friendship, trust and learning. look out for the next book 2huters of the dusk" which opens the most exciteing chapter yet, in the Saga of darren shan...

Summary: Tyler says "Darren Shan Does It Again"
Review: The book The Vampire Prince is the sixth book in Darren Shan's Cirque Du Freak saga. Since Shan is an adult now, the whole book is a flashback to his youth.A flashback is when the author describes something from the past. The first five Cirque Du Freak books are filled with action, adventure and violence. Shan's sixth book will not disappoint. The climax of the story is a very graphic war between the vampires and vampanese ( the vampire's enemy). A battle that could decide the fate of both groups.
Darren's The Vampire Prince tells about an act of treachery commited by one of the most respected and trusted in the vampire clan. This is irony at it's best. Irony is an unexpected twist in the story. Exposing the traitor may save Darren's life, after he escaped from the Trials of Initiation. The trials were tests to see if Darren would prove himself worthy of being called a half Vampire. If you do not pass the trials you will be taken to the Halls of Death and executed.
The great detail, excellent character development and overall extraordinary writing of author Darren Shan will leave you not only satisified, but begging for more.
A great book and you don't even have to read the first five books in the series to understand The Vampire Prince. Thanks to a prologue, you will get caught up on all five books in only three pages.
Check it out!!!!!
