I decided to read this book because I watched the movie and wanted to see how the book was.
Enter Darren Shan-a typical teenager with friends and a normal family who finds himself thrust into his destiny. In a desparate attempt to save his friend, he embarks onto a macabre journey into another world. the world of cirque De Freak.
A story of friendship in unlikely places with a touch of the macrabe to spice up your reading pleasure.
This was an easy read as it is Young Adult and I was able to finish quickly.
I would recommend this for kids 12 and up who like a little scare but not enough to cause nightmares.

Spirit Thorn-A Tale of Parallel Worlds by Zacharias O'Bryan

Spirit Thorn-A Tale of Parallel Worlds

This book combined elements of nature and science to bring together a epic fantasy that drew me in from the first page.It sent my mind reeling about possibilities of other worlds. It made me think about our own reality. All these realities each moving in time with one another. Any book that can draw me in from the first page and make me keep reading is a 5 star book to me. His world weave is very descriptive and I can almost feel his world in my fingertips. Bravo..looking forward to more reads.
If you like a book that makes you think, this is the one for you:)

Sometimes you come across a book that is an absolute gem. This is one of them. It moved me and made me think about our reality and other worlds just beyond your fingertips. If I could give it 10 stars I would.

Wow....what a thrill ride all the way through. I couldn't put the book down and read it until I was done. That only happens with books that grab me. It is a classed as a young adult novel but adults will like it too and it's a quick and easy read.
I found myself glued to the pages to find out what happened next. Some things were predictable but it was all good:)
So please take a look if you like fantasy, you will enjoy this ride.
