Demonata: Lord Loss

    Demonata Lord Loss by Darren Shan is a horrific book. Darren Shan also wrote the Cirque du Freak series. The Cirque du Freak is about vampires and Demonata is about demons, but he changes the ways a little bit. He also adds in some minor characters that affect the way the book starts and ends.

    Darren Shan changes the characteristics of the creatures in his books. Like in Demonata, the demons are different in what we used to think about demons. Humans are usualy the innocent ones, but in Demonata, the humans are the ones that have to summon the demons so the demons would appear. And in Demonata, you can't use magic unless there's a demon around. And only a group of people could fight demons.

    The main character in demonata is a guy named Grubbs Grady. He's kind of big for his age. He doesn't realy fit anywhere, so he just stands near a group of people to make himself look like he's a part of them. Another character is Grubbs' uncle, Dervish Grady. Dervish knows magic and uses his spells to help fight demons. He's a pretty tall man that used to have spiky hair, but he got onler an lost hair. Dervish lives in a mansion that was once a palace that ned by a murderous tyrant. The palace broke down an Dervish turned it into a mansion. The other charactor is a boy named Bill-E Grady. His real name is Billy Grady. He is kind of chubby and has a lazy left eye. He know some magic because Dervish taught him. Lord Loss isn't really a character, but he's pretty important to the series. Lord Loss is this floating bag of skin that has two legs and eight arms. His skin color is a lighter shade of red. His eyes are crimson red. And he doesn't have a heart. Where his heart should be, it's realy just a hole filled with snakes.

    The Demonata books is a book for people who likes to be scared. Unlike the Cirque du Freak series, the Demonata series is scary. I recommend not readin it at night time. Darren Shan describes the demons and people perfectly. Unfortunately and fortunately, he describes the massacres that happens in the book perfectly. If your not ready to be scared, then don't read the book. In the book, Grubbs parents made a decision to save Grubbs and let them die without him because they loved him. Would you risk your own lives to save someone you love?
