To being with, I have always been a fan of Darren Shan's books, first reading his vampire saga.This book, as with all in the Demonata series, is brilliantly written so that you read it at a constant pace.Just as you think, "Oh, I think that'll do for now", the book drags you back in.I read it within 3 hours (I do wish it was longer, however!).
It begins directly where the last one left off, the problem of the impending fate of of the whole universe, and Dervish near to death.
I cannot go into the plot detail's too much, as I do not want to spoil the book for you... The book offer's a brilliant ending - tying up all loose ends, which will leave most avid fans satisfied.
There are some minor moans, hence the 4 stars.I feel Darren Shan lowers his writing potential too much for the younger reader.The books, as advertised, contain stuff of nightmare's.Yet the majority of 9 year old's could read his books with ease.I feel at parts certain scene's, and battle's, deserve more than the casual "blood and guts were flying everywhere". In relation to this, in a few scene's he almost ruins the atmosphere.For one, there should have been suspense, but all seriousness is lost when Grubb's say's that while werewolves hate flying in planes "they enjoy flying in helicopters! Werewolves - go figure!"
To me this isn't funny, nor does it make me feel any closer to Grubb's. Enough moaning however, these are minor gripes which do not ruin the book - it is a brilliant book. 4.5/5 stars from me!

The final dramatic conclusion to Darren Shan's international phenomena, The Demonata. Expect the unexpected..."The girl gazes up at me. She's even younger than I thought, clutching a small teddy bear in one hand. 'Are you the bogey man?' she whispers, eyes round.

Kernel is blind, held on Earth against his will. Grubbs is mad with grief and spinning out of control. The demons are crossing. The Disciples are falling. The Shadow is waiting. Welcome to the end.

The writing is taut and effecive, and several stand alone scenes are magnificent. The conclusion, had it been published as a stand alone novella, would have been wonderful.
Nothing happens, and there is some nasty use of forced incest as a means to create a tawdry shock. Oh, and nothing happens. (*)
