Birth of a Killer by Darren Shan

4.0

Ok, so I have a penchant for reading teen books. Everyone needs a guilty pleasure though right? The good part is that now after two teen series and one adult series Mr. Shan has really come into his own. This one was longer than any of the Cirque Du Freak or Demonata books and it was much more organized. The characters were much more fleshed out and the plot wasn't as thrown together as some of his other books. This is still, however, a teen book and wont be winning any literary prizes, but if you're in the mood for a quick and entertaining teen read, it'll work.
