The Vampire's Assistant and Other Tales from the Cirque Du Freak (The Saga of Darren Shan) by Darren Shan


The Vampire Assistant is good enough but not good enough to re-read or read the sequel.

It is LONG and not necessarily entertaining. The storyline can become tiresome and repetitive had it not been for the like ability of the main character this book would have been left unread.

Don't purchase this, check it out from the library or borrow it. Better yet if there is something else you are interesting in reading, read that first. I wish I had, it was a waste of time and energy.


Grade: D




Synopsis
Darren Shan is just an ordinary schoolboy who loves to ride bikes and hang out with his three best friends. Then one day Darren and his friends stumble across an invitation to visit the Cirque Du Freak, a strange and mysterious freak show. Almost as if by destiny, Darren wins a ticket and what follows is his horrifying descent into the dark and bloody world of vampires. This is Darren's story.
