Lately I have been delving into a book I saw in my room. A
gripping horror novel written by Darren Shan, Lord Loss. Packed full of gruesome murders and miscellaneous undead
foes. Set in a normal, dull town home of Grubbs Grady, the hero in a book of
evil. With a tell-tale sister who he can get nothing past and parents who are a
pain in the backside Master Grady hates his life, but that all changes when he
returns home to a horrific sight…
…this first book in a great series has action, horror and
takes you on an emotional rollercoaster from grief to happiness. This book
shows you how one misunderstood scared boy has no-one to turn to but his uncle
and friend, Bill-E, while everything in his life is turning from bad to super
extra bad.
The characters in this book are based on someone you would
see every day on the street just another Bob or Tom. They are easy to relate to
for everyone because there are young characters old characters and some middle
aged.
The language, the use of tension and surprise keeps the
readers interested and makes you feel like you’re living the terrible horror;
this is one of my favourite books because of these few factors it kept me
hooked.
What I liked most about this story was how Darren Shan (the
author) used so much detail to describe the characteristics of the demons, it
helped me to really visualise the monster’s faces.
