"The Last Apprentice is a series by Joseph Delaney. I would say it's for those kids that are about 10-14....or people like me. I really enjoyed every book in this series. The seventh book just came out recently, and I'm looking to get ahold of it as soon as possible.
The Last Apprentice is a series about a boy, the seventh son of a seventh son, who apprentices to the local Spook. I would describe the Spook as a sort of magical garbage man; he does a very important job, and it's very dirty, but no one ever really thanks him for it. He's in charge of getting rid of boggarts, witches, and all sorts of nasty evil creatures. The series grows deeper and deeper with each book, giving the world more of an epic feel with each new volume. The Spook is an amazing character, very well done. I'll grant you that there are definitely some stereotypes going on here, but there's enough of a twist that I continued reading.
Make no mistake, these books are for kids. Like Brandon Sanderson's Alcatraz series, an adult could sit down and easily fly through one of these books in just a few hours. Hell, I read the entire 5th book just sitting in Walden Books with some time to kill before work. Don't let the readability give you the impression that these are second-rate, however. Each book has been an absolute page turner for me.
Though they're kids books, they are fairly graphic. We've got people getting stabbed and dying, and Satan walking the earth by the 6th book. So yeah, be warned, ye doers of good, they might not be for the Flanders family.
So, in summation, these books will:
-Give you a short, fun, and surprisingly deep look into the characters and their struggles. -Show you that kids books can, in fact, be pretty gory and somewhat scary (not horribly gory or scary, but enough that I was surprised. Granted I don't read all that many kids books). -Keep you turning pages as the story unfolds very organically.
They will not:
-Give deep, meaningful, viewpoints about the nature of God and our relationship with him. -Cure cancer. -Go bowling with you on Fridays. I know you're lonely, but they just won't, okay? Stop bugging me about it!"
"I read this book as part of a young adult book review book. This is a valuable book that I will add to my collection. I appreciated the author's use of language, which created a landscape of people and places in rural (England? Wales? Ireland?) that grew on me gently until I felt I was right there in the villages and traveling along the roads. The story was one I made personal connections to having chosen a career, having had a mentor and knowing some of the fear and also decisions made to go on. I made connections to the conflict of the main character wanting to do the right thing when his teacher was in another village and sometimes doing well, and sometimes really messing up. It is refreshing to see an author who can develop this kind of conflict, as opposed to the more typical conflicts of war, or very strong internal opposition, or strong conflicts to survive in a hostile society. Revenge of the Witch is well told.
fancy setting = conflicts similar to what I face everyday = put it all together and it makes me feel gooood! And you know who it's all about..."
"The only thing this book has going for it is scariness and creepiness. The characters aren't particularly likable, and they're flat, too. The plot was a bit rushed, predicatable, and unrealistic. I mean, when Tom was feeding 'blood cakes' to the witch? Firstly, how stupid could he have been, helping the evil witch? Secondly, how could he not notice what he was holding? I mean, sure it was dark, but...really? He couldn't tell or SMELL that something was up? Anyway, Tom has no distinct qualitites. He's not interesting at all, and I frankly didn't care what happened to him. The Spook is kind of gross and not very likable or interesting. Alice was probably the most interesting of characters. Ellie was annoying and hyprocritical. Jack was a joke. What was up with him? Was he posessed or something? And Tom's mom?? I really don't like her either. I mean, she has no trouble sending her son off to get killed etc.. but she gets all depressed over a stranger dying? I know losing a baby and mother is horrible, but her reaction didn't seem to fit with her stoic personality. Tom's father is what? A ghost? He barely exists and certainly has no personality whatsoever. The evil people had about one sentence of dialogue each, if that, and were flatter than flat.
It was interesting, and I wanted to find out what would happen, but didn't connect with the characters or really like the plot, either."
"Hampir tiga belas tahun yang lalu, sebuah surat tersegel dikirinkan kepada Sang Spook. Surat yang ditulis dalam Bahasa Yunani menyebutkan bahwa seorang wanita baru saja melahirkan putra ketujuh dari putra ketujuh, namanya Thomas J. Ward. Ketika ia sudah cukup umur, maka orang tuanya akan memberitahu Sang Spook. Latih dengan baik, ia akan menjadi murid terbaik yang pernah Sang Spook punyai dan ia juga akan yang menjadi yang terbaik
Ternyata ada perbedaan antara Ghast dan Ghost. Ghast hanyalah fragmen dari roh yang sebenarnya telah pergi. Ghast akan menghilang dengan sendirinya tanpa bekas.
Ghost adalah roh tersesat yang terperangkap di dunia ini tanpa mengetahui apa yang telah terjadi pada diri mereka. Seringkali mereka merasa tersiksa. Akan tetapi, sebagian mungkin berada dengan tujuan tertentu atau ingin menyampaikan pesan"
