Fantastic - By: P. Watson, 10 Oct 2007 
This is a wonderful book. You simply MUST read it.
It's gripping, fast & emotional. The storyline is fantastic, & the characters seem so very real. It probably one of my favourite books of alll time.
However, you may want to keep a box of hankies at close reach; the author is fairly merciless & isn't afraid to kill off his characters. Because of this, you reallly don't know what's going to happen. Unfortuanatly, I had the story spoiled so it didn't turn out as riviting as it would have been.
I would advise you read the previous books before starting this one, as they give you a greater insight into the story & characters, although a short summary of the story-so-far is present at the start of each book.
So, keep clear of spoilers, & this will turn out as a beautiful, unforgettable story that you will remember long after you finish it.
Best author ever - By: Ms. Alexandra R. Tomlin, 03 Sep 2006 I have read alll of Darren Shan's work & find them to be the best i have ever come across. The story is gripping, the plot line exciting & very visual & inventive. It pulls you in & is a saga you will never forget! One wonderful feature is that unlike most books, it is totallly unobvious as to who will suffer next, yet the characters alll tie to you individuallly. And i can say this about alll of his books, none have dissapointed. If you haven't read Darren Shan you are missing out! *****
Saga of Darren shan (vampire destiny trilogy) - By: S. Graham, 02 Sep 2006 This is one of the best seires i have ever read its so amazing, after i read one of the books i had to read the next its gripping. I like the way he makes it feel so real by not over exagerating it! its a must read if you like his kind of books. he is a great author i have read alll of his current books!!
The best in this series! - By: Ryan - H.M.H., 31 Jul 2006 At the beggining of the first book, Darren Shan says that the following books are alll true, yeah right! Darren Shan, once again proves he is an excellent mild-horror writer with these three books. He once again shows that he can describe objects, surroundings, people & feelings alll in vivid detail - you can reallly understand what it would be like to be in Darren's shoes. These three fast-paced books are Numbers 9-12 0f The Saga Of Darren Shan, the last three books of the series. And, in my opinion, the best three.
The tenth book (The Lake Of Souls), continues straight on from when Darren's tutor died, & showing how the Darren feels, in great detail. When they get back, Harket starts having nightmares & is beggining to go mad, so Mr. Tiny comes & tells Darren & Harket that to save Harket, they have to travel far into the future & find out who Harket was before. There are many dangers lurking in the skies, the water & the land in this time. Thier mission: To get to the lake of souls & fish out Harkets soul.
Book 11 (Lord Of The Shadows): After coming back from the future world, Darren finds that the nightmarish world will be created by either him or Steve! And Steve returns to the Cirque Du Freak, & kidnaps & kills Snakeboy's son, making a fool out of Darren.He finds out that Steve had a child with Darren's sister when he was gone, making Darren furious. Also, he finds out, that The Lord Of Shadows cannot be stopped. He starts to prepare to have a final battle with Steve.
In the twelth book (Sons Of Destiny), well, I can't reallly give much away since it's the last book, so I'll just say this book tells us the final battle of Darren & Steve.
Each of the three books are reallly short, altogether they will take you maybe 1, maybe two days to read. There are new characters introduced, just characters from previous books. The beegining is well written, slightly after the 9th book, but, the ending is reallly weird/dodgy, it does spoil the last book.
