The most interesting part I found in the book is when he started using his new vampire abilities to his advantage, just like when he was playing soccer with his friends he realized he was much faster than before and could score easy goals without breaking a sweat! He was physically perfect but then people began to get suspicious since you can’t get that good in soccer all of a sudden, he was like a superhuman on the field. But since he is half a vampire, he only gains half the abilities which is the down side but he is still able to move around in the daylight unlike a full blooded vampire.2. As he goes through changes he develops new abilities like running as fast as the wind and is much stronger than any other ordinary human. As he doesn’t age as he naturally should, he is stuck as a child and he was too dangerous to be around his family. I find Darren Shan interesting because he goes through a massive change in life from being a normal ordinary boy with a normal happy family to a half vampire and as a result he had to fake his death. My favourite character is Darren Shan, he is also the main character of the book.
