Second Book in the Series

The theme of brotherly love with a horrifying twist. Kernel isn’t like other kids (most other kids dont fight and disembowel demons), he can see lights and create portals to the demon universe. Grow with him as he develops his powers and becomes a hero. A great read!

Book was as good as other 2, but 1st and 3rd a little better

Still a marvelous book, Demon Theif catches the minds, ears, and eyes of many readers. Amazing details shows the action, and you can hear the anger and hatred in the book. You feel lonely when the characters do, and you pee your pants when your scared. This book was awesome, and DO NOT SKIP THIS BOOK IF YOU READ THE DEMONATA, ITS REALLY GOOD.

Delightfully Disgusting

I teach middle school and recommend this book to all those kids who love blood, guts, and gore. It is excellent! But definitely do not read it if you are faint-hearted! Nightmares are a real possibility with this one as well as the first in the series. I can't wait for the NEXT!

Demonata #2: The Demon Thief

After reading the first book in Shan's Demonata series I could not wait till the next book was released. I was not disappointed when the book came out. The second book seems to take place some time preceding the first book as one of the characters from the first book is "in training." However, according to the sneak peek of the third book the first narroator comes back to continue his story. The second book does have some gore and sickening discriptions; the narrator even vomits at one point but turns this into an advantace (I'll let you see how for yourself). Overall a very intersting read. Can't wait for the next book.

Darren Shan Rocks

I am a fan of his other series but i recently started reading his new series the first was one was a bit boring at times but the second one delivers. I enjoyed this even though a bit gory at times i didn't mind. Must Read

Great book!

This book, second in the Demonata series, was a great follow-up to the amazing thriller of the 1st book. It delivers action, adventure and thrills as Kernel Fleck, a young boy, delves into the horrifying world of demons and Desciples (Demon hunters) to destroy the demons who stole his brother. I find this book a fantastic edition to the already thrilling Darren Shan collection of books. Buy it! (A warning: I am a BIG horror movie fan and I almost threw up from the bloody description, so be careful =)
