I've only given this 1 star as I've been caught out by a marketing ploy. This book is a revamp of "The Spooks Battle" the only difference is there are illustrations & explanations of a Witch Assassin, Sniffing etc at the back of the book, but otherwise it's the same story. Although I would have given the book 4 stars had I not already read it, as I love "The Spook's" series of books. This book see's Tom (the apprentice) visit Pendle which is riddled with witches, 3 of the clans are uniting to raise the highest form of evil. You also find out more about the spooks past & his love for a witch and discover some of the secrets of Tom's mothers room.

this is not a re-vamped version, it is the american version of the series. with a little research, the buyer will be able to tell the difference between the uk and american additions. the uk versions are called 'the spook's apprentice,' are smaller in size, and only have a small gold-colored illustration of the spook on the dust jacket.
The american version is called 'the last apprentice,' is wider and larger in size, and has a more detailed illustration on the cover. it also includes a 'journal' of tom's findings and lessons in the back.

Excellent, Mr. Delaney, As Usual!!!
11 Mar 2008
Format:Hardcover
I just finished reading "Attack of the Fiend" last night and I was not disappointed! My eleven-year-old son and I have been waiting for this one to come out, as we have read the entire "Last Apprentice" series and absolutely love every book. As usual, Joseph Delaney did a great job of scaring the pants off of us! From the first chapter, I was on the edge of my seat, terrified for Tom, the Spook's apprentice. Several times I had to put the book down and walk away to calm my nerves, but of course, couldn't stay away for long because I just had to see what would happen next. My husband even asked once, "What is the problem? I thought this was a kids' book?" and I had to explain that reading the Last Apprentice books is like watching a terrifying movie: your stomach is clenched with worry for these characters, but you're also dying to see what trouble they'll get into next. "Attack of the Fiend" had action and suspense from beginning to end and still, left us wondering when the next book will come out so that we can find out how Tom and the Spook plan to defeat the creatures of darkness. This is great book for anyone 10-100...as long as you're not afraid of the dark!

They get Better and Better and Better

I had the lay down date marked on my calendar, and couldnt wait to run down to the store as soon as the day came to get my copy. I had read the previous three installments and did a 5 star review on book two, The Curse of the Bane. Delaney just keeps these books remarkably riveting, scary and intense. This was the longest book yet but by far the best of the four. Our young Apprentice is getting stronger in his abilities and getting more independant to work on his own now without the constant guidance of the mighty Spook. I like that his character is growing and not staying stagnant even though the time period between book one and this book four is only a year and a half's time. This installment, Attack of the Fiend, offers more wonderful suspenseful, edge of the seat action. The scare level is right up there from page one to the end. Last Apprentice fans can not be disappointed in this new book in any way and are sure to just say "more please". Delaney does leave this installment a little open ended so that we for sure know that book five is on it's way so that we readers get resolvement on the episodes we get in this book. This is a fabulolus horror series for kids and adults and truly topnotch. I'd like to add praise too to the sensational illustrator. Not only are the cover designs remarkable but each chapter head page evokes true dark and eerie scenes that seem to scream off the page. High praise here, very very high praise for a series that is not sliding in interest, it is escalating into greatness. I eagerly await book five. I just cant wait!

Wow! Wonderful Book! Maybe the best yet?

I just got my copy. I had preordered this and had been waiting a while; it was well worth the wait! I could not put it down. My only regret is that I read it too quickly. If you're a fan of this series, you won't be disappointed. Lots of action and suspense from the characters we love. You'll stay on the edge of your seat from the beginning. Super, super book. I loved it!!!
