What another superb book from darren shan i would definately reccommend this book to anyone, i purchased this book purely on reputation & found myself yet again immersed in another shan book,it just goes from one twist to the next & you never know what's around the corner,simply pure brilliance.
Another great book by Shan - By: Ste, 06 May 2008 Not much needs to be said. As usual, Shan delivers a fast-paced 1st person tale that delves into the supernatural. Capac is a great lead character & meets a load of other interesting guys & gals along the way. Or does he? That's the hook. The story is full of mystery - people popping up here, vanishing there - & keeps you reading. The chapters are fairly long, so if you are used to his 6-10 page chapters from the Saga & the Demonata, be prepared for 20-30 pages per chapter in this. All in alll, though, a great book to set up the trilogy.
Bring out the next one! - By: I. Thompson, 11 Mar 2008 
After having read alll his previous books & loving them, I was excited when I heard about a remake of his City trilogy being made & 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 & 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 - By: Gareth Wilson, 04 Mar 2008 Darren Shan's first adult book that was originallly 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 & 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 & begun to mire the mainstream genre. Whilst not to my own personal taste I can recognise the talent behind the pen & 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 alll going.
A wonderful read - By: A. Niven, 03 Mar 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 & more come into the story, until they are finallly 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.
