Charming Story..., Nov 12 2009
By Elise Miller - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Vampire's Assistant and Other Tales from the Cirque Du Freak (Paperback)
I read this book because I enjoyed the movie a lot. The book, while quite different, was an enjoyable one to read. This particular edition has the first 3 books in the series. The first book was okay... but the second two are much better. In particular, the author's writing improves drastically after the first, which is littered with exclamation points!! As for a comparison, the book reminds me of a blend between Series of Unfortunate Events, Harry Potter, and a touch of kid-version Stephen King. Easy to read and enjoyable.

Cirque Du Freak Series, Jan 28 2010
By bonedaddy - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Vampire's Assistant and Other Tales from the Cirque Du Freak (Paperback)
I saw the movie first and liked it so well I sought out the book series which never would have happened without the movie. I am desperately waiting on book 7 (for some reason twice now it became out of stock after I ordered) and I really want to continue on. I should mention I am 37 and saw the movie with my kids who also really enjoyed the movie and are reading the series too. I enjoyed Twilight but this is a much different take to which I find myself addicted. I anticipate reading Darren Shan's other series too. I also look forward to the DVD release of The Vampire's Assistant on Feb 23 and hope another movie will follow. As with all books to movies take the movie for the movie and the book for the book, things always get lost in translation and you can enjoy them for what they are seperately.

Cirque Du Freak series, July 10 2010
By D. R. Pitts "frankenbunnie" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Vampire's Assistant and Other Tales from the Cirque Du Freak (Paperback)
Love love love this vampire-based book series. I am a 58 year old female, however, I have always enjoyed "boy" type, action based fiction books as a reader. What I found about the entire Cirque Du Freak series, however, was that it was not JUST about being a vampire, or a member of a Freak Show. It teaches about loyalty and friendship; what a real 'family' is, even without the blood-relation.
In fact, I was so smitten with this series (Mr Shan, are listening?), that I made a gift of all my books to a then 11-year-old friend, because I was confident there was little to no swearing of any consequence, no real sexual content, but a good wholesome and fun teaching story definitely well-worth my time and my young friend's.
Hours and hours of good reading fun and miles of smiles afterward. I cannot wait to read more from Darren Shan.
Listmania!
