The beggining of the end for Darren and co?
|
You'll be needing the hankies for this one!
The action is fairly non-stop in these three books.
Darren meets a few old friends, and foes. Also, the dying begins! Quite a few characters pop their clogs in these books . . . .
As well as the all the action, there are many emotional moments and even a few funny ones!
Also, you begin to see what the heroes will need to sacarfise in order to 'save the world'.
If you liked the previous Darren books, then you'll love this!

Cripping but predictable

I have really enjoy the whole series up to and including this one. It's a really good story. Yes i couldn't put the book down. The only problem is that it's so obvious from book one who the enemy is.... and it dissapoints that the writer darren shan didn't make the identity of the enemy less obvious.....there i was reading. thinking..ohhhh ahhhh wow he is that enemy no way i would have never guessed.(sarcasm at it's best)
Putting that aside. I haven't enjoyed a story so much as the saga of darren shan... and yes i'm going out straight away to get the next trilogy.... because it's well worth the read...and i think it would make an excellent movie that would rival harry potter....they would have to tone down the blood though.

OK this book I bought with Vampire Rites, so the two blur into one another a little! This book is immensely exciting to read, and like all good fantasy books, completely and utterly draws you into the world that Darren Shan has created. The plot twists are totally, sometimes painfully unexpected, and the ending to Killers of the Dawn actually left me feeling like no book has ever left me. I won't give anything away obviously. You really shoud read Vampire Blood and Rites first, just so you get to know the character's history. But buy this, it is brilliant.

the best of most books!

this book is one of my top books yet, beaten only by the next darren shan. i am not really one for long reviews, but i hope that my message is clear; buy this book if you havn't already!
but only if you have read vampire blood and vampire rites trilogies (the prequels).

Such a great book, if you like the others then you will love this one. Makes you want the next and last one to come out in the trilogy!! Darren goes back to school and meets an old flame, he meets who his friend Steve Leopard(Leonard and then his world falls apart at the end. Brilliantly written, keeps you gripped till you've finished! Just can't wait to read the end trilogy Vampire Destiny!
