Tunnels of Blood by Darren Shan was a very enjoyable and exciting book to read. This book is about Darren Shan, Evra, and Mr. Crepsley adventures being away from the Cirque. Darren and Evra was able to enjoy their little vacation being away from the Cirque until they heard news about six dead bodies with their blood drained out. They thought that Mr. Crepsley was doing all the killing, and not feeding as a vampire should. A vampire learned to feed from humans by taking a few sips of blood from t

This book was really, really good. The third book of the series, Darren ventures on with his life as a half-vampire. After having the first two books appear in the Cirque Du Freak area, the setting changes as Mr. Crepsley takes Darren to the city. Darren meets his love interest for the book, Debbie, but it cannot last. The reason it cannot last is because Darren is a half-vampire, this means he ages every 5 years. Mr. Crespley knows this because he is a vampire, but he is a full vampire so he ag

This book is written in first person and is full of macabre scenes. As the protagonist says, this story is real. This is the sequel to The Vampire’s Assistant which is the sequel to A Living Nightmare. This is book number three in the series of Cirque Du Freak. A funny thing is that the protagonist’s name is the same as the author’s — Darren Shan. Darren (the protagonist, not the author) is a half-vampire, but he wasn’t born that way, in book one the author perfectly explains how he was more or

Tunnels of blood was a very weird, but an interesting book. Its about vampires. The main character of this book is Darren Shan, he is a half vampire, he hasn’t fully became a total vampire yet. He is the assitant of another vampire named Mr.Crepsly. They both are apart of circus outside of town. My favorite character in this book would have to be Evra, Darrens bestfriend. Evra is a snake boy, he has scales and everything like a snake would have. Him and Darren were good friends from the circus.

In the third book of the series, a year has gone by since Darren has had his first taste of human blood. He has grown more accepting of who and what he is.

It's near Christmas, and Darren feels a twang of nostalgia for family and holiday reverie. He meets a girl, which allows him to enjoy some of what he feels is missing in his life.

I am really starting to like the characters in the book a lot better than the ones they created for the movie. I had a hard time figuring out how they could say that the first three books in this series were the inspiration for the movie when most everything that happens in book 2 and 3 is totally left out or completely changed. Had I read these books before seeing the movie, I would have been utterly pissed off that they basically just took the characters and a little bit of their backgrounds

I liked this book. The beginning was a little slow but the action at the end really caught me by surprise. And I've read this book before. I knew there was gonna be a trick somewhere but when it came, it still caught me by surprise and I really admired Darren for his ingenuity.
Now, Darren is more mature than the previous book. Its been about 1.5 years after all! I guess he should have grown up a little even though his body wouldn't have matured.

I first chose this book because I had read the 1st and 2nd series to the book and I really enjoyed them so I thought that I would like this one too. Suspicion rises as Mr.Crepsley’ sneaking around parallels the recent murders occurring in the city. Darren has to choose whether to lose Mr.Crepsley or Evra. My favorite quote in the story is “I refuse to leave Evra with that thing! You know him just as well as I do and you know he wouldn’t have done the same!” I chose this quote because Darren was

Well, I've stuck it out for three books with Darren and I'm actually enjoying the ride. While I don't normally enjoy whiny main characters, there's something about Darren (perhaps his keen intellect) that keeps you coming back for more.

Another amazing book from the cirque du freak series. In this book you get a taste of whats it like to be a vampire. The urge to suck human blood, young Darren doesn't want to suck human blood thinking if he doesn't do it he can revert back to human. In this book he finds human sucked/drained of their blood and he learns how its hard to live as a vampire.

Darren Shan is getting wiser in his troubles.
A risk taker as well. Great story.
The audio is much better than the read.
I love the voices. Such an impact to the story.
Unfortunately, no more audio for the rest of the books.
