Hagurosan
by Darren Shan
Hagurosan is a great little book. I bought it as soon as I saw it because I love all of Darren Shan’s work and own all of his books so far. Koyasan is my favourite of his books; it is a small book that is set in Japan. When I met Darren I asked if he had any other books similar to Koyasan planned and he mentioned Hagurosan.
When I started reading the book I thought it was a bit familiar and by the end I was sure that I had read the story before. I realised that it had been published on Darren Shan’s website before it was published as a book and therefore I had already read it. This however did not lessen my enjoyment of reading the story and actually owning a copy of the book to add to my Darren Shan collection.
Similar to Koyasan, Hagurosan is based around the title character interacting with the local spirits. The story is really short, but enjoyable. It shows you just how much good one person can achieve and how they can improve the lives of many others.
This book receives three stars because of how short it is and because it is aimed at a younger audience.
