 Demon Thief October 25, 2008
I think this book is absolutely great and is one of the best reads for about 11 - 13 year olds.A very adventurous and exciting book.Full of horror!!
Great horror series August 29, 2008
From the first moment in book one, Lord Loss, when Grubbs Grady encounters the Demonata and their evil minions it is obvious to the reader that Darren Shan books are from a different dimension. You really have to read them with an open mind, and a slightly twisted one too! The heroes are constantly changing, from Grubbs in book one to Kernel Fleck in book two, back to Grubbs in three and then Bec in some of the later episodes. Whoever is in charge you can absolutely guarantee a frightening ride through another world, which Shan depicts so very well. As far as teenage horror goes this is about as entertaining as it gets. You cannot compare it to the real horror masters, such as James Herbert, Shaun Hutson, Brian Keene or Conrad Jones, but they are truly entertaining, even though the storylines are flimsy to say the least, they are still excellent reading.
Demon Theif review June 18, 2008
The wonderful Demonata series continues...I absoloutly adore the way Darren Shan has gone back in time to the 1970's in this story- feature at least one character from the previous book who we all know as Dervish Grady as a punk, a new recruit to the Demon slaying team of Disciples.
Buy the book- it's brilliant.
not as good as the last one i read..but GREAT February 28, 2008
I read this book after reading the fifth (or fourth?) series of the demomnata - Bec as it was displayed in the library and ididnt actaully realzie it was a series so I kind of jumped ahead.
reading backwards, the quality of this book is lower compared but still has the same twists and turns as bec. And because I read bec first, i got a few mroe surprises when I read this book.
leaves you thinking.
great book!
