A review by amaldae
Friikkisirkus by Darren Shan
2.0
Series rating: 1.75/5
I think I read this series up to book 5 (the newest translation out back then). I don't think I ever really liked them, though: the characters and narration failed to engage me and I remember thinking some of the more gory/weird details were in these books just for shock value. But, as I still remember them and managed to plow through multiple volumes, there must have been something to keep me interested in the story... Admittedly, DS's take on vampires was and probably still is much preferred to some of the others out there.
Re-read the first instalment a couple of years ago. Shorter than I remembered and didn't make a whole lot of sense, to be honest, but not the worst re-read ever - still, I'm probably not going to continue with these.
