If your searching for a compelling, and entertaining book, then Cirque Du Freaks Lord of Shadows is the perfect book for you.

Darren, the lead charactor, was influenced too much by situations around him, so he never decided his act by himself.
Although he hated his fates, he didn't try to change that entirely.
There is a tendency to do so after the seventh volume, but this book is awful.
I wonder that The last volume will recover it...

The best book of the sequel. Keeps the reader at the edge of their seat. Darren has horrifying nightmares of the Lord of the Shadows and discovers his fate and the choice that he will be faced with in the near future. Steve Leonard is within arm's reach but who will win the showdown?

Emang udah dasarnya dia jahat ya gitu! Steve Leopard emang jahat! Beyond evil! Bersabarlah Darren Shan...
Setelah mendengar dari penuturan Mr. Tall, Darren Shan menjadi semakin yakin dengan takdir yang akan menimpanya. Apakah Darren akan berubah? Aduuh, ga sabar baca lanjutannya!!!

Uh-oh, now it's getting messy--more important people are dying, more big revelations (though not THAT big if you're paying attention), and a surprising peek into the dark side of Darren Shan.

This book had a cliffhanger ending and it is the most tense out of all of these books.
