| #2 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | I've read I think 5 of them.. which obviously means I haven't finished :P Unfortunately my library doesn't have them all and I've never gotten around to buying them.
Because..
Let's admit it.
Manga is so much more fun to buy.

| #4 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | I've read the whole series it starts to get boring towards the end and feels rushed.
Theres also a movie of the first 3 books supposedly coming out.o.O |
|
|
| #5 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | I have all of these. And the Demonata. I love the plot lines in these, and Shan's take on Vampires =]
I think it's difficult to keep a plot going properly without filling in the gaps with boring things, but as far as I'm concerned, He's managed it perfectly. |

| #6 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | yeah he does...XP I like vampires!!

Personally I like crepsley
DEBBIE (useless crybaby)

| #7 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | Hmm.. I think Crepsley was awesome, but I prefer Arra Sails. And Mr Tiny!!! I didn't care much for Steve Leopard. His role was a bit cliché.
I don't think Crepsley should have went. It made me cry xD Don't know who should have though.. |

| #10 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | Wohoo! Darran Shans the best! XD *glomps collection of Darran Shan books* Vapires, Demons and Spirits are goooood... X3 I met him once; he's the coolest! Three of the best minutes of my life XD
And I've read the first chappy of the manga and loved it! Steve's so CREEPY in the 2nd last (I think) page! They did it real justice XD
And am I the only one that thinks he's deffinately an anime fan? Even his stories sound like something you'd see in anime XD |

| #11 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | | ok so i keep reading from some people about the manga version and i have one thing to ask.....WHERE THE HELL DO YOU GET THEM!! please tell me T_T |

| #12 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | Ooooooo, I love this series~! ^^
I have read the whole series about three or four times and it's really good. The only thing I don't like about it, is the ending of the series. It just seems so...well, blah to me. The rest of the series is great, just not the ending...
From what I have heard, the manga version is suppose to come out of August 9th, but I am not fully sure about that. Also, they have the first chapter of it online, in ENGLISH~! =D |

| #14 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | To quote myself from another thread:Darren Shan was so amazingly good until the 5th book.
Then the series became a meaningless pile of garbage, culminating with the most pathetic conclusion that I've ever had the misfortune to read >_>
It's a pity, really. Such a nice initial concept...seemed so promising at first... |

|
| #15 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | | Oh, I love the series. from what i've heard, they're going to make the books in to movies, each movie based on 3 books. should be out by next year. check out this link for the scoop on it. http://uk.rottentomatoes.com/m/lord_of_the_rings_the_motion_picture_trilogy/news/1647858/ |

| #16 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | | I really liked the whole series, but I do agree that 1-5 are at least slightly better than 6-12. |
|
|
| #17 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | | I had to read the first book in class. Its wasn't bad, but i have a felling that I would get around to reading the other books for a while. I have another felling that they would hold my interesting for very long. Horror was never really my thing. |
|
|
| #18 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | | I read 1-3 and then 6. 6 really put me off the series. It just seems to get more and more unrealistic and somewhat predictable. Maybe its just because I've read a lot of similar stories. |
|
|
| #19 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | | ...I saw the ending coming. Somehow, I just knew how it would end. But a neat series. I even got my mom to read it...and when I can get her to like something, you know it has to be good. |

| #20 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | | omg seriously when is the movie comming out |

| #21 Posted 1 year ago, in reply to post #19 by spiritcontrolfreak | Reply | | It had a dreadful ending... an amazing series, but terrible ending, I fucking [ the going back in time bullshit... ] <--- Spoiler |

| #22 Posted 1 year ago | Reply | love anything by Darren Shan  |
|
|
| #23 Posted 8 months ago | Reply | Darren Shan (or O'Shaunery or something) is the best.
He was going to write around 17 books for the saga of darren shan , but then he realised he was wimping out and finished it at 12.
they are very good and very original. |

|
| #24 Posted 6 months ago | Reply | | This series is easily one of the best. The only sad thing about it was the length of each book. I felt it could of been detailed a bit better at parts. But yea once again a sad ending. I mean he just leaves everyone. Like Debbie for example. All he thinks about is if she will be ok, not can I be with her again or something like that. Also, if I was Darren I would of written that Darren (The character) just resist Desmond Tiny. Not kill himself along with steve. Lastly, who the f@ck was he fooling when he said that the series really happened. XD |

| #25 Posted 6 months ago, in reply to post #24 by GOODKyle | Reply | It's just to make it a little more realistic... The author of Percy Jackson kind of did that near the start.
I thought it made the books a little creepier and made you wonder a bit. |
