This one is the most enjoyable book I have read lately. I was expecting to find a really engaging book from Darren Shan and was not disappointed at all! The imagination of lots of cultures, the adventures the protagonists experience, the character development of the main boy... The ideas and throughts they exchanged about life, death, religion, society... I loved every aspect of this book and I gladly recommend this to everyone!Darren Shan is a Master Storyteller! This book tells the story of Jebel Rum. He is the runt of the litter and feels it. When his father publicly overlooks him, as a possible candidate to replace him as Town Executioner (a very highly prized and esteemed job), he rashly decides the only path for redemption is to go on a Quest. We then set off with this arrogant, selfish & unworldly boy and his newly acquired slave Tel Hesani on the most dangerous and brutal journey. You've got to read it to
No other book has been sitting on my shelves unread for so long as this one. But I had no idea what to expect of this story, this is an author-buy for me. It turns out, I really like the idea of this story. It has a whole lot of character development, which I love in books. It also has a wild range of other cultures and religions, the authors mind has spun wildly to think this all up. I really like that as well.There were some gruesome parts in this. But it is a Darren Shan book, so I did not
For my first Darren Shan book, my experience was one mixed with highs and lows. Initially the story took a while to get me interested as it lacks detail and any meaningful relationships between the characters from the offset.As Jebel Rum's journey got going I was intrigued to see where it would go as there was lots of room for creativity along the way. The many populations of people scattered across their path made for an interesting read as they all held differing customs and beliefs which
A great book for when you want to read Uncle Toms Cabin, but the gritty YA fantasy version, and you wish it had less character development, more cannibalism, and that the names were impossible to pronounce.
The Thin Executioner The book im reviewing is The Thin Executioner by Darren Shan. Shan has talked in many interviews talking about how writing The Thin Executioner has been one of his favorites so far... Normally Shan sticks to making sequels to his novels, but The Thin Executioner is one that stands alone with how much time he's put into it. Much like his other books but different in its own amazing way The Thin Executioners context is that of a young scrawny kid with an unlikely mentor can
