 Bring out the next one! March 11, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
After having read all his previous books and loving them, I was excited when I heard about a remake of his City trilogy being made and hopefully being completed this time. I was not disappointed.
The plot is easy to follow, the turns of the story making the whole scene clearer for the reader. Although I felt the ending was slightly disappointing, the rest of the story had me hooked and I can't wait for the next book to appear next year.
This book will appeal to many different kinds of people, whether you are familiar with his previous works or not. Definately worth the money :)
Shan adult novel reappears March 4, 2008
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
Darren Shan's first adult book that was originally released back in 1999 is repackaged for a new generation. But what makes this tale so intriguing is the way that it takes no prisoners, it's a book that you'll love or hate and as such will split the readership down the middle. On the whole a different tale that tries to keep clear (and mostly succeeds,) or the pre-established clichéd ridden stories that have been regurgitated throughout time and begun to mire the mainstream genre. Whilst not to my own personal taste I can recognise the talent behind the pen and admire the way that he wraps the ingredients together creating a rather interesting hybrid that will leave many wondering how the hell he did it. I will endeavour to read future books in the series just to see where its all going.
 A wonderful read March 3, 2008

If you ever want a book to read, this is definitely a good one. It moevs along quickly, creating many questions along the way. More and more come into the story, until they are finally revealed in the last chapter, with an (or so I think) unpredictable plot twist.
What's interesting about this story is that we're unsure what genre it is. Is it horror, sci-fi, mystory, or what? Whatever you place it as though, it is among the greatest in these categories.
Fantastic! February 29, 2008

I was lucky enough to get my hands on a proof copy of Procession of the Dead. Having read all of Darren Shan's children's books I wasn't sure at all if I would like this book from the info on the sleeve. I didn't need to worry - I LOVED it! In essence this book is a gangster tale with loads of twists and turns which sucks the reader into the story as you just want answers to all the mystery. Its well written, fast pasted and easy to read. Even if you are not sure you like this genre I urge you to give it a go - you won't be disappointed. I even gave the book to my mum (who usually hates this kind of thing) and she thought it was great! I can't wait until the next book is out next year to see how life in the city will unfold.......
