The book A Living Nightmare by Darren Shan is one of the most creative and interesting book that talks about how to become a Vampire and it hooks you to read the rest of the books in the Cirque Du Freak series. I really enjoyed this book the most because you can imagine what Darren is going through and the decision to become a vampire assistant just to save his best friends life Steve Leonard. If I were to rate this book I would give it 10 out of 10 because the author Darren Shan describes everything and puts drama into the book like if it were to be based on a true story. This book was about a young boy named Darren Shan who ends up going to a freak show because his best friend Steve Leonard always wanted to go to one and luckily Darren ends up going because he won the ticket out of all his friends. They end up stealing a spider from one of the performers/freaks and the spider bites Steve and he ends up getting poisoned needing an antidote. Now Darren has to face becoming a vampire assistant which he is part vampire and not a full one or let his friend die because the freak was a real Vampire named Mr. Crepsley. You can say the book was touching after he fakes his own death and describes all the drama that he cannot live with his family and friends he loved to spend time the most and now he must now move on. Until he ends up making his best friend his own enemy and ends up leaving you wanting for more. This book can be described as a really interesting book with thrilling and gruesome scenes.
