I liked this book a lot because it kept you guessing and made the hero of the book seem very unlike a hero. o______O I also like how Darren Shan writes.It makes everything seem sudden.His sentences are really short though so it gets on my nerves a little. But where he could have wrote, He was sitting, in the book he wrote “He sits…,”. I can’t remember the exact page or chapter but I know it’s when Grubbs and his uncle(can’t remember the name right now sorry) are in the study for the first time. It’s just a very strange writing style. It was one of the reasons that I kept reading.
There wasn’t much horror in the book as I thought there was going to be but the way that Shan would portray Lord Loss was comical and scary all at the same time. I wish I could write more on the concept of the book but Shan’s writing style is so unique that I guess I paid a bit too much attention to it…. ^_^
(heh heh! I sent the blogg early!!!>=D)
lord loss is a very wierd but good book. it involves demons, chess,and werewolves. once you hit puberty you are hit the grady curse were you become a werewolve, you can get rid of it by playing chess with lord loss. if you lose your family gets killed, but if you win you can go home but someone else has to take your place in the demonata and fight hand on hand with lord loss.
