a sensational book
5 Stars
Whats up? I am a student in Victoria Morse's class and this is a review of of a book she bought for me.
Cirque Du Freak is a book that offers so much to the table; it's all here in one package: great story, great dialogue, cool characters that are funny and easy to relate to, and excellent action hands down, out of all the Cirque Du Freak books I read this is by far the best. Vancha, Mr. Crepsly and Darren are teamed up trying to take down the Vampeneze lord while slaying hordes of the dark lords minions. This book is crazy, it consists of an action and drama, it is fast-paced action and will keep you guessing whats going to happen till the end.

The end is near for one of them

This is a good book that plays on all emotions...at the end especially. Was very suprised by how this book ended and am wondering what else could happen in the remaining 3 books. One of the 3 hunters dies but which one is the bigger suprise of all.

Macabre fun for teens

The flaws of the prior book are forgiven in this marvelous second attempt as Shan brings on the battles and blood galore with plenty of delicious twists and new characters. Shan puts a new spin on the vampire legend whilst keeping it in time with the modern world and the circus culture.

Darren Shan is a half-vampire. His friends, Mr.Crepsley, Vancha March, Debbie Hemlock, and the police chief inspector, Alice Burgess,(and sort of Steve Leanard) are all helping Darren find the Vampaneze Lord. Something tragic and very unneeded happens to Mr. Crepsley and they find out who the real Vampaneze Lord is. Over all I think Cirque du Freak: Killers of the Dawn was the most exiting, gory,and sad book of Cirque du Freak yet.

A LOT happened in this li'l bookadoodle. Darren went to...JAIL! Along with Mr. Crepsley, Harkat, Vancha, and Steve. But that's only a few hours of this dark book. A great battle against the Vampaneze awaits. I liked this book, it was written well, and at one chapter, I actually believed it! (You'll see...) But there was one thing I didn't like...
***WARNING!!!! MAJOR, MASSIVE SPOILER AHEAD!!!! DO NOT, I REPEAT, !DO!!NOT! READ THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE ALREADY READ THE BOOK. IF YOU DO READ THIS, YOU WILL HATE YOURSELF FOR A LONG TIME!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!***
I didn't like how he killed of ister-may epsley-cray. I liked him, and without him, the Darren we know would not exist. He was a good, important character. I also thought he was a cool vampire, who laughed, was angry, loved someone, and held Darren up, unlike all the other vampires, such as Seba Nile, Gavner Purl, and even Vancha March who all seemed to act and talk the same to me. He really cared about Darren. Fortunately, Darren seems to be strong enought to go on without him. Still, it kinda sucks that he died there.
***OKAY, END OF MAJOR, MASSIVE SPOILER. IF YOU READ THIS BEFORE THE BOOK, WHOOPSIE!!!! TOLD YA NOT TO DO THAT, NAUGHTY PEOPLE. *wags finger* BACK TO THE REVIEW!!!!!!!***
That aside, it was good. I look foreward to the next book, and based on the exerpt I read (it was in the back of this book) we may find out a bit more about Harkat, which is cool, 'cause I like him. I hope things look up...
