Cirque du Freak

The theme is how Darren becomes the vampire prince

The author's purpose in writing the Cirque du Freak series is to entertain readers with a dark and thrilling story about a boy who becomes involved in the mysterious and dangerous world of vampires. The series explores themes of friendship, loyalty, and the consequences of our choices.

The theme of it is vampires! I love the series!

It's not your fangs blood sucking kind though but it is good!

To go into detail:

Boys go to freak show, one suspects performer is vampire, other ends up being turned into a half vampire and has to fake his death. The rest is for you to know if you read it.

"The Saga of Darren Shan" series, also known as "Cirque Du Freak" is a popular book series among young adults. It is published in 30 languages and 37 countries, and thus read by a large number of people.

The Cirque du Freak series earned approximately $50 million in the first year, thanks to strong book sales and movie adaptation rights.

In "Cirque du Freak: Killers of the Dawn," Darren Shan and Mr. Crepsley continue to battle the Vampaneze, a rival vampire clan. They also uncover a traitor within their midst and face a difficult decision regarding the fate of the Vampaneze Lord. The book delves deeper into the conflict between the two vampire factions and sets the stage for a larger showdown in the future books of the series.

Steve dies in the last cirque du freak book so does Darre :'-(

If you mean the movie: Steve becomes a vampaneze and captures Darren's family and friend. Resolution: Darren saves his family and Rebecca (that was the monkey Girl's name, right?). If you mean the book: Darren refuses to drink human blood, and Reggie Veggie goes crazy and let's the Wolfman out. Resolution: Wolfman severs R.V's hands, and Darren drinks the dying Sam Grest's blood to absorb his spirit.

There are no current plans for a "Cirque du Freak: Vampire Mountain" movie. As of now, only one movie adaptation of the Cirque du Freak series has been made, titled "Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant." There are no official announcements regarding additional movies in the series.

The book "Cirque du Freak: A Living Nightmare" has 266 pages.

"Cirque du Freak" by Darren Shan is typically classified as a book with an Accelerated Reader level of 4.9 – 5.5, which equates to grades 4-6.

In "Cirque du Freak: Hunters of the Dusk," Darren Shan discovers the Vampaneze have killed his close friend and fellow half-vampire, Gavner Purl. He joins forces with his vampire mentor Mr. Crepsley and the vampire princes to hunt down the Vampaneze leader, Steve Leopard. The group faces intense battles and moral dilemmas as they seek to defeat the Vampaneze and protect humanity.

Again, this is a question that depends on opinion.

Personally, the Demonata series is much better, both literaturely, and aesthetically. Plus it's more horrific and graphic as the books progress, although the shifts between Bec, Grubbs and Kernel can get a little tedious, especially when you don't care for Bec at all and just want Grubbs to go mental >=]

The Cirque Du Freak is a good series aswell, though the naievity of the main character and his constant 'whining' can become annoying, even though the last book was mind-blowingly amazing.

Demonata would have to come on top, purely because the overall story is on a higher level than the Cirque.

The Cirque du Freak book series is generally recommended for readers aged 12 and up, which corresponds to middle school and high school grade levels. The content of the books includes dark themes and some violence, so it may be more suitable for older readers.

According to Wikipedia the 7 books sold over 100 million copies in 41 languages.

"Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant" is rated PG-13, and is suitable for teenagers and adults. The movie contains fantasy violence, mild language, and some thematic elements that may not be appropriate for young children.

hmm.... you mean Darren Shan series? its:

cirque du freak

the vampire assistant

tunnels of blood

vampire mountain

trials of death

the vampire prince

the hunters of the dusk

allies of the night

killers of dawn

the lake of soul

lord of the shadows

sons of destiny

the books are pretty cool......... i read only some of them though.........

The vampire's name in Cirque du Freak is Larten Crepsley.

For every 10 years that pass, a vampire in The Saga of Darren Shan would age 1 year.

But a half-vampire ages one year for every 5 years

Hopefully you mean the ending of the second Cirque Du freak book "the vampires assistant". Its a lot easier if you just read it but it ends with The wolf-man ends up eating R.V.'s hands off (he runs away screaming "my Hands My hands!!) and ends up escaping and killing Sam Grest (Darren and Evra's new friend) and Mr. Crepsley convinces Darren that their is a way to 'save' him, or his soul/personality. and that was by completely draining Sam of the rest of his blood. ( He was technically already dead because of the wolf man) Darren did so and then officially became the Vampire assistant and he knew there was no going back now....

that's how book 2 out of 12 ends...

1: A Living Nightmare 2: The Vampires Assistant
3: Tunnels Of Blood
4: Vampire Mountain
5: Trials Of Death
6: The Vampire Prince
7: Hunters Of The Dusk
8: Allies Of The Night
9: Killers Of The Dawn
10: The Lake Of Souls
11: The Lord Of Shadows 12: Sons of Destiny

There was supposed to be more sequels but since the first movie didn't do so well, there will most likely be no sequel(s). I am sad too, but still hopeful. If there really is a sequel, it should come out 2012-2013

Okay, so Darren Shan is just an ordinary boy, but then his life changes when he goes to a freak show(Cirque du Freak). He goes to this freak show with his friend Steve. So they go and see all of these freaks. But then Mr. Crepsley goes onstage and he has a cool spider (Madam Octa) who you can control with your mind if you really concentrate and have a flute. Darren really likes Madam Octa, but then Steve sees Mr. Crepsley and gets really scared. After the show, Darren hears Steve asking Mr. Crepsley to turn him into a vampire, and Darren find out that Mr. Crepsley is a vampire! Then Mr. Crepsley tests Steve's blood and says that he has terrible blood and that he is evil >:( . Well, anyway, after some days, Darren still loves the spider and finally steals her from Mr. Crepsley! After a while, Darren wants to show the spider to Steve and does. That's when the real trouble begins. The spider gets on Steve's neck and Darren tries really hard to concentrate and makes sure that the spider doesn't do anything to Steve, but then Annie (Darren's little sister) comes in being loud, Darren stops concentrating, and the spider bites Steve. It only takes two bites to kill someone and the spider is ready to go for the second bite, but Darren takes the spider. Darren doesn't want to tell anyone about the spider because his parents don't let him have spiders, so he tells his mom that he went to the bathroom and that when he came out, he was a paralyzed. So then they take him to the hospital, but the doctors can't find out what's wrong, so Darren goes to talk to Mr. Crepsley. He asked him if he had a cure, and he did, but Darren has to do something in return for him. He has to becomes a vampire's assistant. Darren accepts. So Darren becomes a half-vampire, and he and Crepsley go to the hospital and put the medicine on Steve, saving him just in time. Then Darren makes a run to the door because he doesn' t want to go with Crepsley. But then the next day he sees differences in himself like that he wants blood and can't sleep. So he goes back with Mr. Crepsley and they fake his death. Then Mr.Crepsley goes to the graveyard where they buried Darren and he digs him up. They both go on and Darren has a new life as a vampire's assistant.

Darren Shan lived in a small town in England called the town of Buffull in the book Cirque du Freak.

15 through books 1-6 16 through books 7-12

Not true. He's about 11 or 12 in books one through six, then about 15 or 16-ish in seven through twelve. However, in the movie version, Darren is fourteen.

In the movie he is 16. On one of the posters or pictures it says:

MEET DARREN

HE IS SIXTEEN

GOING ON IMMORTAL.
