10 Cirque Du Freak Questions | Shan, Darren Trivia Quiz

This is on the first "Cirque du Freak" book by Darren Shan (he named the main character after himself). I love this book dearly (and it's the best vampire book I have ever read), and I could not find any quizzes on it. So, I decided to make one.

A multiple-choice quiz by balletENbarre. Estimated time: 3 mins.
