Combo Truyện Kinh Dị Của Darren Shan - Demonata (Bộ 8 Tập) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Darren Shan

Elements and Style: The author uses lots of descripition so you can really see the setting clearly. He describes everything in great detail and devolps the story at a good pace, with nonstop action. The protangonist in this story is Will Henry, and the antagonist is the Anthropophagi. The mood is scary and suspenseful, because they are trying to kill the Anthropophagi before they hunt again. Will Henry narrates this story as well. Characterization: Will Henry is a twelve year old orphan who is under the care of Dr. Pellinore Warthrop. He is very loyal to the doctor. He does whatever is asked of him, and is quite brave. He fights and kills several Anthropophagi at the end of the book. He has fears just like all kids do, however. Will Henry is very intelligent, too. Plot: Twelve year old Will Henry lost both parents to a fire that consumed his home. Now he is apprenticed to the monstrumologist Pellinore Warthrop who his father devoted himself to. In the dead of the night, a grave robber called Erasmus Gray brings them a dug up girl entwined with an Anthropophagus. Anthropophagi are headless creatures with their mouths in their stomach and a large appetite for humans. Several more murders occur, and after a trip to the insane asylum to visit a dying ship captain, the monstrumologist and Will Henry peice together clues about the monsters arrival to their hometown. They set up a late night hunting party with the police and a dangerous man who's name is generally unknown to kill the beasts. Further investigation on that fateful night reveals that the person who immigrated these creatures was Pellinore's father himself, causing uncertainty for Will Henry's master.

Symphony of Blood is a supernatural thriller that I think a lot of readers may enjoy. However, despite really getting into it early in the book (and having a glowing blurb from an author I really like), overall I can't say I enjoyed this Hank Mondale Supernatural Case. It was what I consider a Yin-Yang read. For every part of it I really liked, there was an equal and opposite force acting against it and ultimately destroying the experience for me. When told from Hank Mondale's POV, the prose was a bit quirky and fun, well suited for a character that has to laugh at life a bit in order not to break. But at times I felt like I was spending a little too much time reading about mundane tasks that didn't push the story forward or build character or setting. For instance, going to the bathroom, or talking to his neighbors, or to his mutha' who I can only imagine sounds like Fran Dresher. When we switch POV's and get to see the monsters perspective, I have to say Adam Pepper did this quite well. I love reading non-human points of view when done right. But this is something I feel is better `sprinkled in' and this section seemed overlong too me. I would have enjoyed it more broken up. The characterizations are hit and miss too. On the surface Hank Mondale seems like a cliché. The private eye that couldn't be a cop because of a troubled past, who has problems with drinking and gambling. Sure it's been done before but it's done well here and I found him interesting enough. Symphony was an interesting, fleshed out character. And some of the side characters (like the druggy-couple in the apartment building) even though they got very little `screen-time' felt very real. I also liked the interplay between Hank and his kleptomaniac secretary. Others however, felt less real. But more importantly, I'm sad to say, I didn't see much in the way of character growth. The characters (the still-breathing ones) come out the end much the way they were at the start without any noticeable difference in their personalities or interpersonal relationships with each other. As far as spelling and grammar are concerned Symphony of Blood seemed well edited. I did notice a few missing words (unimportant things like `a' and `the'), a few missing punctuation marks, and a fair amount of word repetition. That last was the only thing that bothered me and seemed like it would have been an easy thing for an editor to catch. Lastly we come to the plot. There's a very interesting, original story here but a major plot-hole I noticed early on kept poking me like the annoying fly that keeps landing on your face while you're trying to sleep. The inciting incident, the idea that Hank Mondale would get involved in this story at all, indeed the entire plot, hinged upon a single motivational action. As the story progressed this initial choice began making less and less sense. To the point that I kept hitting the next button hoping to see a conspiracy, a double-cross, or some other twist that would line that original decision up, all the while with a sneaking suspicion that that wasn't going to happen. And it didn't.
