Darren Shan is a visionary.

These books are fully amazing. They are not the longest books ever, but they are very interesting and keep you on the edge of your seat. They even have a review by J.K. Rowling which should mean a lot to any good reader. They are fascinating and take you to a world in your imagination that you never thought you would see. I bought the first book and finished it in a day and have in they past three days, bought the next two and read both of them! They are virtually impossible to put down. You feel the pain and the happiness that the characters feel. You almost become emotionally attached to them and you feel like it is a real life experience that you are part of. Darren Shan is an amazing author and it is shown in this book.

Marvelous read

I read these back in high school... well, up to book seven, I think. Anyway, I forgot all about them after graduation... but recently, I've been going back to the young adult novels I read from way back when.
I have to say, I do plan on buying this set. I love the characters, and the plot twists, and the story in general. I really do recommend this series!

Great teen reading.

My thirteen year old son loves these books. He is already on the 3rd and only had them a short amount of time. He is not a reader at all. I was really happy that he found books he would read and is interested in.

Great Book No Matter The AGE!

I read them when i was only 12-13 and enjoyed them. Obviously not all of em but i read the first two or three when i was young. Then read them all last year and i have to say i enjoyed every minute. It's not the most depth books but there very enjoyable.

This set is only 25 bucks and you get three great books. Only problem is there to short. I love how the book starts off right away with some crazy ideas. Then book two is a great, even heartbroken, ending. Then you have book 3 and 4 which you must read together since there so good and must be read. Then when your done with book 4 ya'll want book 5. So lets go to that set of books!

Great Books!

Darren Shan (the author and main charater) is amazing!
Not only do I love the entire Cirque Du Freak series, but the other series he is currently writing, Demonata, as well!

These books catch your intrest immediately. They are full of twists! I've read the series more than once and I never get sick of it.
The aren't only for younger people, many of my family members have read them and they all love them just as much as I do.

Who knew our 12 year old would ever LIKE to read!!!!

He loves these books, takes them with him to read when ever he can!!!! We never thought that day would come ... and so they have now sparked a more general interest in reading ... a search for material he thinks he will like. He want to talk about them so I too am reading them ... OK not great adult entertainment but not bad either. Thank you, thank you thank you!!!

I am using the series in my Contemporary Literature class and the students love the series! We have moved from the first to second book and they are very into it. It isn't common for middle school students to get into reading. This one is the bomb!

Just can not stop reading

My daughter loves these books

2007-05-07
It isn't always easy to get a high school girl to read, but my daughter found one of these books in her school library and she was hooked. She devours a book in just a few days and comes back ready for more. We will be purchasing all of them and now she is looking forward to the next collection by the same author. Amazon Rocks!

books #1 and 2, cirque de freak

i recommend these books to any child who loves to read or who doesn't. my son literally has to be forced to read but once he read the first book he was hooked. he enjoyed them so much that i bought the box set for him!! the books held his interest and had enough of fantasy with the real world thrown in. besides, what kid isn't interested in monsters!
