Book Wyrm Review of Demon Thief by Darren Shan


Kernal Fleck could see lights. He could since he was a baby and simply assumed that everyone could too, until he started talking about them with his parents and friends. Immediately, as soon a they knew he could see lights that no one else could, he was labeled crazy by his friends. Kernal, now, has no friends. He has no where to go, and he spends his nights at home playing with the lights. Until one night, sad and lonely, his mind goes on autopilot and without any control over himself he begins to shove the lights together . It forms into a wall of light that becomes a window into another dimension. The winndow leads straight to the demented, killer Lord Loss and his home. Without any will of his own he steps through the widow and into a terrifying adventure.


Darren Shan has done it again! Demon Thief is an incredible book with mystery, and excitement. The book is very well written, usually a book will lose readers when it switches from one character that all the fans love to another, but the book is so well interwoven with the previous book that readers will come to enjoy the character Kernal Feck just as much as Grubbs Grady. This is a great book for those who love horror and demons.

Book Wyrm Review on Eldest by Christopher Paolini


In this sequel book to Eragon. Eragon and his dragon Saphira have just saved the Varden from destruction by Lord Galbatrix's armies. Eragon must now venture north across the desert to get to the the elven city of Ellesmera for further training in magic and swordsman ship. But with enemies behind every corner, the question is will Eragon survive long enough to be trained?

Eldest is by far my favorite book in the series. Although in this new book the pace can get slow. With beautiful described battle sequences and shocking truths discovered, Eldest is a great book for those who don't mind long description and sometimes a slightly slower pace.
