I couldn't stand the ending. Why why why did that person have to die?? Why not someone else? Gosh, I really admired that character, such a pity that he/she/it had to die. Kinda sucks...
But overall the book was not too bad. The action was a little boring for me, but I liked seeing how Darren had an epiphany during it. He realised that vampaneze were just like them, they just had different beliefs. Yet, vampires would slaughter them, and take pride in it. That part of him made me see tha...more

The book vampire prince Cique du freak is about a boy named Darren Shan (which is the name of the author as well) that has became the assistant of a full vampire named Mr. creapsly. They travel to vampire mtn. Then Darren has to prove himself to the vampire princes. The main problem of Darren is that he is near death on the trails. Darren is my favorite charter because, he is such brave little guy that is not afraid to stand up to any challenge.

I’ve been impressed with the Cirque Du Freak series for its fun plots and moral quagmires. In short, the books avoid the easy answers that plague most young adult books, and as a result the stories show a young man that is forced to make life-or-death decisions that have no light at the end of the tunnel. Darren, our protagonist, has fought for his life and made tough decisions to be where he is, and despite all of this he retains a good balance of confidence and modesty.

Dear Darran Shan,
The line "Even in death, May i be triumphed", really stood out to me because it showed that you would rather die than be saved by a traitor and that you would die with pride win against him by making him suffer your death. It amazes me of the things you managed to survive. even as a half vampire, i thought you would be burned to a crisp in the hall of flames but you proved me wrong. I think that the pointy hall thing was the easy one of the four trials you ...more

This is the 6th book of Darren's Story as a Vampire. In this book Darren has escaped his death trial. He survived a very hard road, he was swept away by a water current and he had to swim to shore.

He must find a way to inform the vampire princes (the leaders of the vampires) of Kurda's treachery before they crown him a fellow prince...more

Darren was adapting better to his vampire life style. But he also had some struggles. His main conflict in this book was going face to face with a two-faced about to be vampire prince. He almost killed himself escaping the two-faced vampire, Kurda, so he could warn the vampire clan about him. Kurda was working for the vampaneze, the vampires evil blood cousins.

This is one of the most action packed books I ever read. It continues the story in the forth book. Darren is running away from the vampanese and he ends up crashing into a river. He almost dies there but then he meets the wolfs in the forth book. The wolfs help Darren get back on his feet. As soon as he is healed he sees his master Mr. Creapsly with the vampire that killed one of Darrens friends.

Kurdas minions charged at me. One came from my right another from my left. I jumped and landed on top of both of their heads with a spew of blood on the floor. Kurda was just standing their watching. What a friend he was. He was just a traitor. I charged at him not knowing there were more minions. They captured me and then wrapped me in chains. One by one they knocked me in my face.

In the book Cirque Du Freak "The Vampires Prince" by Darren Shan, the half blooded vampire Darren Shan was escaping the vampire mountain because he didn't want to be killed for failing trials. There are trials which are tests for the new vampire's so they can be accepted as one of the vampires. But then he fell into the mountain stream after Kurda Smahlt (soon to be one of the vampire's prince) killed Gavner Purl (a vampire general). By showing his true colors that he was in the l...more

The road returning back to the vampire mountain was hard. This is one action and danger filled book which I like. A traitor Darren found out by him and only him? It was a mission for him to notify others in the castle. I like this book because of Darren Shan. He is the main character but yet he has astounding characteristics like killing off vampaneze with disgust, doing the right thing like saving others and other courageous characteristics. The best part was in the end, where he became a princ...more
