How I Came To Read This Book: The fine folks at Harper Collins sent me an advance readers edition.

The Plot: Capac is a young man that's recently arrived in 'The City', where he quickly gets involved in his Uncle's life of crime. It doesn't take long for Capac to catch the eye of The Cardinal, the primo mob leader in town and the true force behind everything that happens in the city.

The Plot: Capac is a young man that's recently arrived in 'The City', where he quickly gets involved in his Uncle's life of crime. It doesn't take long for Capac to catch the eye of The Cardinal, the primo mob leader in town and the true force behind everything that happens in the city. However, as Capac continues a rather meteoric rise, he becomes increasingly aware of mysterious happenings and disappearance that don't seem to flummox anyone but himself.

The Good & The Bad: When I first started doing 50-book challenges, I was quite generous with my rankings. I'm not sure if any books in 2008 got an A+, but Procession of the Dead scored an A and was my fave book I read last year...which is hilarious because when I got it in the mail I was DREADING reading it, and questioning why I'd ever signed up to get a copy in the first place, as it was labelled 'sci-fi'. Okay yes, there is a science fiction element to the book, which actually may irritate some readers when it's finally revealed, but I felt like the strength of the rest of the novel overshadowed the slight glimmer of disappointment I felt at the ending. So let's focus on the positive: This book is incredible. Everyone I've lent it to has powered through it in a day to under a week (for the less savvy reader) because it is written so well. There aren't cliffhangers at the end of every chapter - it's more like the end of every few pages. The sheer level of tension and excitement and twists is enough to propel you through this great, gritty, noir-type crime novel (with a touch of sci-fi, as mentioned). I don't have enough good things to say about this book - I truly hope it becomes a movie one day / gets exposure in the US cause it's fantastic. Even the character of "the City" itself is a wonderful feature of the book. Great!

The Bottom Line: An excellent read, even with a slightly 'meh' ending, you'll still want to read the sequels in the series!!!

Anything Memorable?: Nothing, other than the fact everyone is very hooked on this book when I lend it out.

50-Book Challenge: Book #14 in 2008.

I found this book was very well-written and kept me interested the entire time. There was never a time where I had nothing to do, because I would always pick up this book and read. It was about a man named Capac Raimi who had moved in with his uncle to help him get back into the criminal life. His uncle raises and teaches him to be his heir of his small group. Within no time, he catches the Cardinal's eye and soon is asked to join him. Capac gets a job for the Cardinal and must work his way up t...more

Darren Shan is one of my favorite authors. Honestly, if the only way that I could read one of his new books/series would be if I went cliff diving or something else crazy dangerous and scary, I would do that thing without hesitation. He's just that close to my heart. Procession of the Dead was really good. Though, a bit difficult for me to get through, I can still see the badassery that went into its making.

Honestly, if the only way that I could read one of his new books/series would be if I went cliff diving or something else crazy dangerous and scary, I would do that thing without hesitation. He's just that close to my heart. Procession of the Dead was really good. Though, a bit difficult for me to get through, I can still see the badassery that went into its making.

Capac Raimi comes to the City to work for his uncle and eventually take over his trade. That trade being blackmail and other gangster-like activities. However, soon his path crosses with the of The Cardinal, the ruler of the fine streets in the City. He knows and sees all, and Capac knows that being recruited by him is no small deal. But, the Cardinal seems to know things about Capac's past that he can't remember, and he sets him on a path to succeed. He wants to figure out the Cardinal's deal, but can only do so if he sticks around and listens.

Obviously there is a difference between an adult series and a young adult series. There are small things in Procession of the Dead that would never occur in Cirque du Freak, namely the whole sex aspect. Though, it's not an overabundance that takes anything from the plot. Really, it doesn't. If anything, it's just there to show a more mature setting and whatever.

The story for me was a bit difficult to get through. Gangsters? Not my first choice in picking out novels, but I figured that I'd give it a chance because it was written by Shan. While some of the aspects went a bit over my head, it was still good.

Pacing-wise, I found it a bit slow. It was the first fifty or so pages that really killed me. However, by about a hundred pages the story really picked up and kept me going until the end.

Character-wise, there was a lot of diversity. Some of them were likeable and interesting, others were just interesting. Intriguing. I have no complaints.

Overall, I really did enjoy this book, no matter how difficult it was for me to get through. Gangsters and insurance sales galore await you in this book, and I severely hope that you don't let this deter you if that's not your kind of thing. Darren Shan is a fantastic writer, who you can completely trust your time with. He'll show you the grit that makes his characters who they are and place you in a world that is so realistic that you'd never want to go there.
Personally, I just hope that the last two read a bit better for me.

☆☆☆☆☆/5
Recommend?: If you've read other books by Shan and want to see what these are about.
If you want a new twist on a gangster life. (less)

I appreciated:
~The ending and the fact that the author let the story come to that logical conclusion. (view spoiler)

I didn't like:
~The voice. Cold and emotionless. Looking back, I understand why it should be that way, but I almost abandoned the book a few times at the beginning because it just wasn't grabbing me. Could it be the writing style? I found the same thing in Storm Front. (Dresden fans have mercy on my wayward soul!) Glad I stuck it out I suppose. It just seems like there was an opportunity missed there to inject an ambiance of mystery or superstition that really could have intensified the intrigue (and the green fog). Instead it felt like reading a police report.
~All the omniscience. Capac was able to tell us exactly what everyone else was feeling, and other characters were able to report things they weren't there to see. This really bloated the dialogue in a lot of places (wall of text incoming!) and felt unnatural. You know at the end of a movie when the hero is about to kill the bad guy, and the bad guy starts sounding off about his cunning plot to destroy the world, and you think... why is he blurting all this out - to his enemy? That's what I thought of, a few times near the end.

All in all, not a terrible book. The cover is awesome. It probably deserves more than 3 stars but in the end it just wasn't my thing.(less)

Procession of the Dead is the first book in the City Trilogy by Darren Shan. The book starts off as a gangster story but you realize it is much more than that. In that sense it is classic Darren Shan.

The story begins with the main character, Capac Raimi heading to “The City” by train. He comes to “The City” to become Uncle Theo’s right hand guy as a gangster. Soon after the head honcho of the gangster universe in “The City”, the Cardinal sends for Capac and has his uncle killed.

After accepting a job from the Cardinal is when all hell breaks loose for Capac. He encounters various different characters; an assassin with tattoos, blind priests, a beautiful woman, and people all of a suddenly disappearing. He realizes that things are not what they seem.

This is Darren Shan’s first published novel. It is definitely different from his young adult novels, such as the Cirque Du Freak series (Also known as The Saga of Darren Shan) and Demonata series. By different, I mean it is not associated with the horror genre. It does have elements of the supernatural in it. It is better described as an urban fantasy gangster novel.

I regard Darren Shan as my favorite author. This book helps prove it. I LOVED it. The setting was awesome, the characters are great, what is simply the best is the story. It never gets going too quickly where you want it to slow down but it never slows down its pacing, it has some of the best pacing I have seen in a book. I didn’t want to put down the book. I wanted to find out what would happen next. I was constantly surprised by each event in the book. When I was finished with the book, I was like “WOW did that just happen?”

Its faults are small but of course it does have its faults. The writing isn’t the best which is consistent with Darren Shan’s other early novels in the Cirque Du Freak series. The constant use of profanity was unnecessary but it does fit into the novel’s tone. It is also not a book for all ages, I recommend only adults read it.

Overall it is a great book. I highly recommend it any of the ADULT Darren Shan fans out there, also to the gangster novel fans, and urban fantasy fans out there. It was one book I did not want to put down. I wanted to see it to the end. The story was amazing. It had one of those, “I didn’t see that coming” endings.

Disclaimer: This is a review of a book that Darren Shan owns. I don’t do number ratings because this is purely my own opinion of the book. Your opinions may differ from mine which is totally fine. (less)

More than anything, "the City" of this book felt like a grimdark comic book version of a US city -- blighted, brutal, nonspecific, all of its proportions just a little exaggerated. The LoC blurb inside files this under "magical realism" and the pull quotes on the back call it "noir," and it does feel like what would happen if you put those two ideas in a cage match. It has the dream logic and mundane/sublime juxtapositions of magical realism, and the pessimism and casual misogyny of noir. It has...more

Before I bought the book I didn't look into it a whole lot. When I heard Darren was releasing a book for an older audience, I was intrigued. I loved the Saga of Darren Shan, but the latter books in the Demonata series soon started not doing much for me. I guess it felt like I'd 'grown out' of his young adult fiction (we'll see when I try a few of his more recent YA books soon), so it was only natural that in the end I bought this.

When I heard Darren was releasing a book for an older audience, I was intrigued. I loved the Saga of Darren Shan, but the latter books in the Demonata series soon started not doing much for me. I guess it felt like I'd 'grown out' of his young adult fiction (we'll see when I try a few of his more recent YA books soon), so it was only natural that in the end I bought this.

I didn't know what to expect when I read the opening lines, but eventually it was fair to say that I was hooked. Half-way through and I didn't know how the seemingly random plot elements would come together.

What I liked:
- The 'seemingly random plot elements' (e.g. the men in robes, the green fog, the Ayuamarcans, etc) fit together into a plausible conclusion.
- The writing style, for me, was easier to read than say the Demonata series, probably because it felt more natural and not like it was being written with a specifically younger audience in mind.

What I didn't like:
- The conclusion was a bit disappointing. It wasn't a bad ending, but it was certainly no 'fantastic revelation' as the blurb suggests - not for me anyway. It's not that it wasn't believable (view spoiler), but it just wasn't very surprising or thrilling.
(view spoiler)
- As mentioned above, the protagonist (erm, if you can call him that) isn't very likable.

That's probably everything significant for me. I kind of was tempted to rate this two stars, but at most I would say that I liked it, so three stars it is. If you're a Darren Shan fan, then it's worth picking this up; same if maybe you haven't been able to get into his young adult books, (less)
