Cirque Du Freak: A Living Nightmare by Darren Shan
5.0
It seems only right that roughly a decade after joining Goodreads I should reread Darren Shan’s bibliography. Darren Shan was in fact the person who brought Goodreads to my attention all the way back in 2012. He had a link to his account on his website and when I clicked on it I felt like I was in some sort of reader heaven.
Is this book perfect? No. Is it worth a five star rating? No. But I am rating it that anyway purely based on nostalgia and based on the fact that when I first read it in 2008 after coming upon it in a B. Dalton books in the mall, it changed my life. It was the first book I ever read that I felt was written especially for me, and that is such a special feeling that I have been chasing ever since.
