Review: I really liked parts of this book. For an example, he put rat gut in the shower and his sister was taking it was all over her when she ran downstairs she was naked with blood all over her. Then 2 hours later she said sorry to him and told him that is pretty funny what you did. But 3 hour later they had to leave and when Darren went to his aunt's house he said the car still park in the drive way so he went to his mom and dad and he saw his mom and dad room and he said look like heck and he saw this demon that look like them.
