This is Darren
Shan's fifth
book in his
series of 10,
"The Demonata",
and, as always,
he's
a joy to read.
Though not as
good as the pre�vious
four, this
still has plenty
of action, once
it gets going.
Grubbs Grady is
settling down
to live as a
normal teenager,
with his uncle
Dervish. He gets
a girlfriend and
makes a
new best friend.
He goes to
parties and
lives
the normal life
of a teenager.
This part of the
book is pretty
boring compared
with the rest
of the book, so
keep reading. It
all goes down-hill
when he starts
getting the
symptoms of
the family curse
- turning into a
werewolf.
He tries to keep
this from his
friends and his
half brother,
but it soon gets
suspicious. The
question is,
where are the
demons? This
isn't
as exciting as
Shan's other
books, but he
continues to
impress.
