The Vampire's Assistant by Darren Shan

ellejaoy's review against another edition

I enjoyed this much more than the first, but I still didn't like it. I found it boring nearly all the way through and the way the chapters kept ending with a very ominous warning of the future reminded me why I felt the first book was immature and badly written. I gave Darren Shan a second chance and can now say that I absolutely hate his writing style and this series is definitely not going to be continued.

I really thought of taking a star away because there was no "monkey girl" at the Cirque, but then I added a star back because only Darren Shan would do something like that

(no I am not even putting in a spoiler, you'll just have to read the book to find out what he did)

to what appeared to be a main character in the story arc. And in a children's book!

Het is al zo lang geleden dat ik die boeken heb gelezen, dat ik eigenlijk niet meer weet hoe goed ze juist zijn, of wat er juist gebeurde. Ik weet wel nog dat ik het leuke boeken vond, maar dat ik niet de hele reeks heb uitgelezen.
