But this time the killers deliberately left their victims in places where they could be easily found.

baca buku ini kerna disaranin teman yang brasa maximum ride (yang ke 4?) menjemukan. Uhm...mungkin kerna bacanya langsung dari buku ke 8 jadi feelnya nggak dapet.
tapi kalo bisa membandingkan dengan buku serial yang lain, semisal buku trudi cannavan ato harpot ato bahkan bukunya kho ping ho (1 seri bisa 6-8 buku saku. yang saya maksud seri yg berbeda) rasanya jauh banget.

I didn't really enjoy this book. I felt that there were loads of conversations and hardly any action. Sure, at the end, there was pretty a lot of action, but I didn't really like it. It was kind of boring TBH. How would I put it? It was a lot like another filler book...

Darren Shan is a half vampire. He was forced to be a vampires apprentice. Darren goes on many adventures.
The author had good development in the main character. He showed how Darren really felt and how his thoughts on things had changed. He also showed how he accepted being what he is. The plot was very ongoing. It seemed that after every chapter you knew more about what was going on. There was never a boring part in the book.

There is a kid name Darren and he is a half of a vampire. I didn't enjoy this book much. This book was very dumb and I didn't like it. Some parts were weird like a vampire sucking on a human blood. So fictional and unrealistic. There are a different species of vampires and they're ugly. They are enemy of the vampires and Darren trying to chase them down.Darren, the protagonist, his mentor, Mr. Crepsley,and a little person named Harkat chase after the Vanpaneze Lord in order to save their clan fr...more

I vacillated between giving this book 4 stars or 3 and since Goodreads doesn't let you give half stars (at least, I haven't figured out how to do so if they do) I chose to give it 3 instead.

Even though this book was mainly about the characters travelling around to try and find the Vampeneze Lord, there was a lot of action and comedy which made it an enjoyable read.
First off was the fact that Darren was forced to go to school, which I found hilarious since he didn't have a clue what was going on in his classes. I also liked that we were reunited with Debbie, and not left to wonder what had happened to her since she had just disappeared off the face of the book.
