| #4 Posted 3 months ago, in reply to post #3 by Grantsnake | Reply | In that case, Darren Shan is amazing. His real name is Darren O'Shaughnessy, but Shan is his Pen-name. I've got all his books. He lives in Ireland, but was born in London and he has weight problems.
The Saga was pretty good, I reckon, but not all scary. The Demonata is awesome, though, and ten times better than the saga. It is seriously scary, as it says on most of the books. They're making a film of the first 3 books of the saga, and hopefully, when they've done all 4 films, they'll start on the Demonata. Darren Shan also got to go round the set of Harry Potter 5, before his film started getting underway. He was invited by the to-be producer of the Saga films and that's where he got his inspiration for Slawter. Davida Haym from Slawter, of the Demonata series, was actually named after the to-be producer. Despite the fact that Davida Haym was a woman. |

| #6 Posted 3 months ago, in reply to post #5 by Grantsnake | Reply | How much of Lord Loss did you read? I'm guessing the reason you couldn't get into the Demonata is because you couldn't be bothered to read that whole bit when Grubbs is put in a mental home. That put me off too, really.
And, they are making a film of the Saga. |

| #8 Posted 3 months ago, in reply to post #7 by Grantsnake | Reply | | Yeah, It's because nothing really happens after his parents are killed. Until his Uncle comes along. You should carry on reading, it gets a lot more interesting. |

| #9 Posted 3 months ago | Reply | | "The Saga of Darren Shan" was brilliant, if a bit short. I also loved the first four books of the Demonata series... but I sort of lost interest after "Blood Beast". |

| #10 Posted 3 months ago, in reply to post #9 by MutantLeprechaun | Reply | | But Blood Beast was a two-parter.... It was probably the worst book from the Demonata, the second part was pretty damn good. |

| #11 Posted 3 months ago | Reply | Yes, I was aware that "Blood Beast" was the first of a two-parter. I'm not entirely sure why I was put off reading the second part but I'd say it had something to do with the cliffhanger being fairly predictable and the character of Juni (who annoyed me for some reason).
Plus, as you said, Blood Beast is probably the worst book of the Demonata series. |

| #12 Posted 3 months ago, in reply to post #11 by MutantLeprechaun | Reply | | nyeh. Demon Apocolypse was good though. All the pieces of the Kah-Gash get together. |

| #13 Posted 3 months ago | Reply | | im sorry but all this talk about the demond series it's got to be said that the vampire (if a bit split up) was the better series |

| #14 Posted 3 months ago, in reply to post #13 by Grantsnake | Reply | | In terms of horror, I'd say that the Demonata was better. In terms of originality, the Saga was better. |
