BOOKS FTW!!!
First and foremost a short description on me and books.
i am a book nerd..... i get all excited when i read... i cry during sad parts, laugh at fuuny, and get pissed at the..... moments that causes a person to get pissed>.> and yes, to those of you who must ask..... i DO start yelling out random stuff while reading a books (in class) such as : HELL NO!.... BEAT HIS ASS DOWN!!....... -dramatically- noooooooooo whyyyyyy dont do this to me!!!...... gdi.....thats the last page in the book. etc. etc. etc. lol.
i have almost finished a series that i found at my school's library... that series is called "cirque du freak" which is french for circus of freaks....
Title: Cirque Du Freak
Author: Darren Shan
i have almost pissed myself due to the way the writer .... writes..>.>
i think that anyone who enjoys a good drama or a good vamprire series should read... it is not for those drama romance lovers... just those who enjoy twists at the end, causeing you to crave for more.
if you have ever heard of it, pick up a copy and start in order.... from books 1 to 12... although i suggest borring it from a library if you can, as 12 books can become pricy and some of you may read my description liking it, but reading the story and finding you dont. over all i give the series a 9/10 only because i have yet to read the final book.... which is really pissing me off cause it is not in so i am forced to wait and catch up on other series...
DESCRIPTION OF BOOK 1
the series is based around a boy (darren) who goes with his best friend Steve to an illegal freak show that has just arrived in town with his best friend. after seeing an old guy perform with a spider he decides to steal it. when he comes back later he finds that his friend is there, talking to the old guy about being turned into vampire, as Steve has done his research and realizes the old guy is a suspected vampire from the 1800ish. Darren steals the spider and invites Steve over to his house to play with it. Steve is bitten and poisoned. Darren then returns to where Cirque du freak has set up camp for the night and asks the old guy(Mr.Crepsely) if there is a way to save him. Mr. Crepsley does so on the condition that Darren becomes his half-blood Vampire assisstant. Darren then Reveals his eavesdropping from earlier and asks why Steve could not become the Assisstant. Mr.Crepsely says that this is because his "blood is evil" and will have no part in it. so Mr.Crepsely saves steve's life and makes Darren his assisstant. Darren then fakes his own death so he can start life anew with Mr.Crepsely. Steve realizing something is amiss, decides to check and see if Darren is really alive. Steve then realizes what has happened and gets the facts wrong, causing Steve to become jealous and set out to kill Mr. Crepsely(cause he called him Evil) and to kill darren for betraying him.
Remainder of the stories are about Darren's trip to vampire mountain, learning of the vampire cousins -vampaneze- and the War of the Scars. the rest is much better and enthralling. i wont say anymore cause this is really long and i dont want to give the rest of the stories away.
