Lord Loss is a exciting book which at times had by heart racing. Darren Shans description really created detailed images and made me want to read on. Sometimes i felt that i knew Grubbs! It is quite graphic so i wouldn't suggest for young readers!
I would recomend this book to anyone who enjoys horror or supernatural stories. This book has forced me to read the next one and it has scared me already!
I would give this book a ***** rating :)

Darren Shan has a film out about one of his books called Cirque Du Freak. I think that the book was much better so i would reccomend that even if you thought the film was bad. This is suitable for younger readers too.
