Summary: THIS BOOK ROCKS
Review: again...this entire series is an amazing vampire saga of a boy turned into a half vampire. there are strong emotions, horror, and trials to find the meaning of it all. Darren Shan puts a whole new spin on vampries in his fourth book in an amazing series. YOU WON"T BE DISSAPPOINTED

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great read, although not long enough
Review: Cirque Du Freak #4: Vampire Mountain is the fourth in the eagerly anticipated Saga of Darren Shan.
Darren travels with his Vampire mentor, Mr. Crepsley, to Vampire Mountain, where Darren must be proven worthy of being one of the group.
The book doesn't have much action, I feel it is more of a set-up for Book 5. It's still intergal to the plot, so you must read it!

Summary: vampire mountain
Review: Fraaz Siddiqui November 30,2004

Vampire Mountain, Darren Shan~London, ISBN 0-316-60806-8

"Stop!" I hissed. "Don't let her out - she's poisonous!" Darren is on the journey to vampire mountain along with mr.Crepsley and two assistants desmond tiny has accompanied them with. On the way they find the blood of a vampanze. After that they meet a vampire general that's also a friend of theirs. His name is Gavner Purl. After Darren and mr.Crepsley told Gavner the news all of them became cautious. Also on the way Darren met wolves. One he- wolf, two- she wolves, and one cub. Darren named the he-wolf streak and the cub rudi. Mr.Crepsley, Gavner, and Streak went to go check the way ahead to see if it was safe. While they were gone a bear came Darren had defeated, but bear's never act like this to a vampire. Then he found it had drunk vampanze blood. Vampire and vampanze blood is poisonous. They make it to vampire mountain. Darren meets somany vampires. The news of the vampanze lord has awakened. The genre of this book is realistic fiction.
This book was exellent! I recommend this, because you need the understanding of it for the future books you read of the Cirque Du Freak series. This book builds up the action for the further books to come. In my opinion I think who would like this book is ages eight and up. The type of person who would like this book is really into war, magic, creatures, quick surprises, and a little imagination. This book was a page-turner, because on the back of the book it said, " page-turner", and second of all you couldn't stop reading until your parents said, " go to sleep." There were many surprises in the book one of them were Harkat Mulds. His gray face had been stitched together, his green eyes, mask over his mouth, but you still could his agonizing sharp teeth, no nose, and small dots for ears. This book was a pretty big hit for me it might a bigger one for you.



Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great!
Review: I have read # 1,2,3 and i'm reading number 4. The past books have been VERY good! ...i reccomend this book for ages 11+ but not younger than that, because there is a little violence and gore. A bit scarry too, but very good! I also reccomend the book "The Silver Kiss" its also a good book about vampires

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: not that great
Review: I have read all of the books in the series up to this point. Their short and pleasant, so I might keep up with them even if they are written a bit sloppily. I'm just a bit weiry of them at this point. Just about nothing ever actually happen everything is spoken of. Basically,the book plays out like this:

Darren: Mr. Crepsley, Why is the sky blue?

Mr. Crepsley: Well, Daren...

Daren: Mr. Crepsley, how come blood is thicker than water?

Mr. Crepsley: Well, Daren...

Come on! How can a book be propelled by a kid asking a bunch of questions?! You really can tell that this writer is new. He's clueless sometimes. It's like a history lesson! I'm in no hurry to read the other books in this series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book
Review: In this book Darren goes to be put in front of the vampire princes. When he has to make the journy to the moutain he comes face to face with a bear and wolves. He has to prove to the princes and his mentor that he can be a vampire and most imporant he has to prove to himself that he can belive in himself.
I personaly love the series. I recomand that u read them in oder startin with "Cirque Du Freak; A living nightmare". It keep me readin till late at night this isn't as action packed as some of them but it has some good parts in it.
The worst part is it leaves u just waitin for the next book.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not the best
Review: Most of the time I was sleeping of bordem. Waiting for action, but the only ation I got was me drooling on my pillow.

Sometimes there was ation but lasted for about a minute, thenanother 100 pages for a little more action.

Wasn't pleased.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Keeps Getting Better
Review: Shan continues to improve with each book in this series. In this book, Darren treks to Vampire Mountain with his vampire mentor, Mr. Crepsley. They encounter diffciulties of course, and meet some old friends. The story moves well, as do the rest in this series.

At the Vampire Mountain, Darren must face the Trials of Death. and this is my only disappointment with htis book. The book ends at the beginning of the trials. I immediately ran out and bought book 5 and am reading it now.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Most excelent!
Review: The book was incredible! The fact that a female vampire (Ara Sails) was present in the book was very well done. I give Darren Shan two thumbs up! I suggest that you should read Amelia Atwater Rhodes. She writes about vampires for young adults. Good day to you all!
