Another great Darren Shan book - fast-paced and gory - Rated 
I read the first five Darren Shan books as they came out in 2002 wen I was 12 years old and I really enjoyed them - in my opinion they are just as good as Harry Potter - but never got around to reading past the fifth book, even thought I had bought books six, seven and eight too.
A couple of days ago I was looking through my old books and saw this series and decided to give it a go - and I was very impressed! I am sixteen now so usually read adult horror (Dean Koontz, Stephen King etc) but I still enjoyed this book as much as I enjoyed Darren Shan books when I was 12 - they are fast paced and gory, and quite funny in places too.
This book continues with the cliffhanger ending where the previous book in the series - The Trails of Death - ended, with Darren going down the stream of Vampire Mountain. I wont say what happens to him through the rest of the book as I dont want to spoil it for others but there was suspence ans action all the way through and I ended up reading the whole thing in one go.
Another great entry in Darrens Shans vampire saga which I would highly recomend. I think it would be a great read for everyone but in particular for boys who are around 12 years old. (if you have not read any Darren Shan books than I recomend you start with the first book, Cirque Du Freak, as it is a series and the books continue on from each other).
great horror - Rated 
This book was brilliant from beginning to end and has everything a good read should have, action, emotion and a fantastic ending. I feel that in this book I learnt a lot about the characters that I never knew before and Darren Shan gave us a great insight in to his characters feelings and minds as well as balancing out all the emotional bits with a good fight and a lot of action. This book got me hungry for more and is probable the best in the Darren Shan saga.
P.S It beat HP, no contest

One of the best yet! - Rated
I have read all 10 of Darren Shan's books,and this by far is one of the best. It is a mixture of excitment, emotion and adventure.
It is an awesome end to the second trilogy in the saga. The only down point about this book is that it does not last very long, once you pick it up it is immpossible to put down again; i finished it in under two days!
THE VAMPIRE PRINCE - Rated
I love darren shan books! think they are great i have read 1,2,3 and a few bits of the others. I have read the vampire prince ( a bit of it)it is brilliant but i recomend that you read the others first i think they are fab.The books get better the further along the scale they are.Buy It Now!!!
