Darren Shan was just an ordinary schoolboy until his visit to the Cirque du Freak.

The Wolf Man is waiting.

interesting book

The story line was good, however parts kind of dragged. I was disappointed with the ending. There was so much more story that wasn't finished. The narrator was awesome.

I can listen to Ralph read this series for years!

The book and the narrator were a perfect mix! I loved this series to begin with but with Ralph's tremendous storytelling, just made it even more perfect. Even more thrilling, even more emotional, and even more irresistible.
