I do not know if the original books have the campiness that the movie and the manga have. This makes it more enjoyable and the images fun. Characters are likable and relate-able. The fact that Darren Shan named the character that is a vampire after himself is just awesome. I knew what was going to happen as I saw the movie and I believe this second book end is where the movie does. Although some parts are left out of the movie. I love the friendship with the fellow Cirque Du Freak characters that Darren has immediately.

I do want to read the original books to see the difference from the mangas. I always got the feeling there was a different feel to them compared. The manga is fun, exciting, and creative.

I am buying this series volume by volume for my son. Anime and Vampires seem to be very popular with the tween and teen set. My son reads these as quickly as I hand them to him and then shares them with his friends. While not my favorite genre, it encourages my son to read more which is good.

My eight-year old son loves the cirque du freak manga series. They are well illustrated, easy to read, and a great price!

The book was in great condition, was priced well, and arrived promptly. I appreciated the fact that it was in the condition promised, and shipped right away.
