Review - Cirque Du Freak Saga

By -


Cirque Du Freak is a great series by writer Darren Shan. After I finished one book I couldn’t wait to pick up the other. Darren Shan has a creative new spin on traditional vampires that makes them seem more real than fiction.



 The lead character Darren Shan is a teenage boy who goes to a freak show with his best friend Steve "Leopard” Leonard. At the show he meets a mysterious man, Mr. Crepsley, who turns out to be a vampire. After a series of events Darren must leave his normal life to travel on the road with the Cirque Du Freak to become a vampire.

(Darren Shan - Author)

The writing style is a bit juvenile but serves it's purpose. The stories are full of action, pain, excitement, gore, a little bit of romance and more action. 
The 12 book saga is definitely worth a read. With so many characters, the twists and turns never end. 

I love gore in books but sometimes too much gore ruins a good book. These books had just the right amount that kept me interested. 

If you’re like me, you’ve seen the movie and thought. “Well, that was interesting.” To which I say. “The books are even better.”

Day 1 Left, Day 2 Right Just to be clear, Jessica Nigri was asked to leave and change, she was allowed back in... But on day 1 of PAX east, she went dressed as Lollipop Chainsaw's star, Juliet Starling, without issue. Day 2 she went dressed as the same character in one of the multiple alt costumes and asked to leave to change. She returned in the cheerleader uniform from day 1 she was asked to change again, cover up, or leave entirely! Did I mention she was at the WB Games booth and is the official character model for the game? So what's the point of this post? Most of the Grotto staff come from a place in the US where people can go grocery shopping wearing A LOT less than what Nigri had on! Now if she were dressed in one of the alternate costumes from Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball, then I can understand the issue. What do you guys think? Let us know in the comments below or on Google+ and after the break, see Nigri's Day 3 costume! Updated 4/9/2012: Added ...

Greeting Geeks, In case you haven't checked it out yet, Nickelodeon has released their new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. As a general disclaimer: THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MICHAEL BAY'S TURTLES PROJECT . To put it simply, it's Teen Titans meets Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003). To put it more complexly...well...you'll have to hit the jump for that.
