The book is exactly 257 pages long. If that seems like alot, guess what. IT'S WORTH IT!

[spoiler=Personal Review (May contain spoilers)]

I totally loved the book. It was a book that was actually written so that teens can relate. It's not to preachy and not to dramatic. It's got a great amount of suspense and shock. Once of my favorite parts in this book was when Darren Shan was being transformed into a vampire. I felt like I was Darren himself. It was so detailed and so connectable that I completely forgot I was reading a book, thinking I was there watching Mr. Crepsley and Darren. I'd definitly recommend this book to anyone who like vampires and werewolves.
