 Rating:  - cooliovery gud book just reading through th domenata for third time it so gud starts slow but gets faster and probaly has the best endings of all books ive got through a clue: the boy who runs fast is on the cover Rating: - great horror seriesFrom 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.

For the first time in all my years of reading Darren Shan novels, I had to make an effort to read what is usually 'unputdownable' work. It seemed like the whole book could have been easily condensed into a few chapters. After the dramatic ending to the previous book, I was looking forward to following Grubbs's story and, despite the partially refreshing change of narration, I felt that Bec wasn't suited to narrating an entire story in ... Read More: Rating:  - good book but...If you have read all the darren shan books then you wil know that this is the worst one yet. i have loved all of his books so far(except blood beast) it isnt to bad but the plot is quite bad like when one of the characters randomly explodes for no reason. and Zombies... but i wont ruin the plot for everyone... |
