Cirque du Freak: A Living Nightmare by Darren Shan

5.0

I’ve started on the re-read journey of my favorite series from middle school, and I finished the first book in a single day! Practically unprecedented for me lol. I was afraid that starting to read something that I was so fully obsessed with as a pre-pubescent would ruin my memory/experience with it, but I gotta say reading it felt EXACTLY the same as the first time. The only thing I had an issue with was how many time Madam Octa is referred to as being “poisonous”, when spiders are venomous lol, but for a book for kids I can forgive it (this once).
