  • I read all of em. But 1! The New 1 comming out in 2013. -_-

  • I've only read the first book and I finished it in like three days. Thats how chained I was too it!:D But please stop comparing it to JK. Rowlings masterpeices. They are so different to each other and in my own opinion great in their own ways!

  • this is so much better than harry potter

  • @JOOLAnBOY yea i read the harry potter series and this book is a really good book way better than the harry potter series, but im on the revenge of the witch and im on page 200.

  • I read this book at my school for Exam! ( In French) I like this book!

  • Oh I can't wait for Alice telling her story of training

  • American titles are shit

  • I wish the title had not been changed, 'The spooks apprentice' sounds much more mature than ' The last apprentice' I've no idea why titles are changed for publication in America...

  • i hope they make the movies, i would watch every movie! lol

  • @xsaradominx24 Not before me! XD

  • @Osrie1 lol i would race you, i read from book 5-8 in a month i am a nerd at this series lol like no joke

  • @xsaradominx24 well it is an epic series, so what can't =D

  • is the last apprentice a film linked to the spooks books? i will fucking watch this if its true.

  • @LouDrawer the last apprentice and the spook's books are exactly the same thing

  • im uploading wrath of the bloodeye

  • i wish they can make a movie series of the spook's like hary potter series

  • Joseph DeLaney never exaggerated anything as much as Just Kidding Rowling.

  • Earlier while I was reading book three Night of the soul stealer, it occurred to me that i hadn't once seen a picture of Mr. Delaney, so i looked him up, and I AM SO GLAD HE ISNT UGLY! lol not that it matters but i like my favorite people to look interesting. Mr. Delaney is AWESOME.

  • "For the reader who has outgrown Harry Potter..." I saw that on the back of book three :)

  • Comment removed

  • What? Jk rowling is a genius? Well I think Joseph owned her right on her face.

  • @xbo0omz Hell yeah

  • @ASDFjoshcards, yes there is one more, the spooks destiny and there is one to come I think on september 1st; I am grimalkin

  • I have: The Spooks Apprentice, Curse, Secret, Battle, Mistake, Sacrifice and Nightmare. I also have The Spooks Tale, the spooks stories; witches and John Gregory's bestiary... Is there any others?

  • I hope what happened to Eragon does not happen to this because...*shivers* It would be too grim to think about.

  • they better not screw up the movie like lightning thief (im just saying, the book's good just dont screw up the movie)

  • @creedjeremy Agreed! I can't wait to see it! :D I love the Last Apprentice so much, I'm sad it's not that popular here in America. :(

  • did joseph write the last apprentice, or the spooks apprentice ( one of them is owned by and american company, so wich wich one is brittish)?

  • @hyourinmaru1997 'The Last Apprentice' and 'The Spook's Apprentice' are the exact same book. Joseph Delaney wrote the book under the title 'The Spook's Apprentice', which has remained the same here in the United Kingdom, but over in America - they have changed the name of all of the books so to avoid any confusion as to which country you are ordering your books online from and so on. Confusing, I know! :)

  • The books get redundant after the third one. He uses the same phrase more than five times throughout the entire book, in every book. And there's a lot of beating around the bush. The whole "Can't see my hand in front of my own face." Is used so often it's almost funny. I like the series but it gets really annoying sometimes, I've literally skipped parts of the chapters because it's all recapping.

  • love his books <3 

  • MAM DIES ALICE TURNS EVIL THE FIEND GETS BOUND BILL ARKWRIGHT DIES AND SO DOES BONY LIZZIE

  • @Snowstah How do you no alice turns evil is it in book 8?

  • the casting now is : jeff bridges--spook; ben barnes--tom; julianne moore--witch malkin. looking forward to seeing the film. good luck ben!!!

  • @bbkulotz R Dey Reely Makin A Movie Of The Books??

  • @XxDeathWalk3RxX What Is TBH??

  • Im dutch and I have read the first 3 books.

    But i have to wait until the 15-11-2011 until i can read part 4.

    Im thinking about it evrey day and i cant wait until i can read it.

  • @DutchGuy112 Ik raad je zeer sterk de Engelse versie van de boeken aan! :)

  • Thumbs up if you think Tom marries Alice in the last book

  • @allstar1103rox I don't think Tom will live to see the day tbh :'(

  • @allstar1103rox It's pretty clear

  • @allstar1103rox

    To be honest, I think Tom will end up binding Alice, and that'll be the explanation for the Wardstone (that's at the start of the books).

    Binding a great evil, with the fiend gone, I think Alice will be that evil, and both will perish!

  • he looks like the spook with the beard and age haha

  • @TheNeklaceCrew COOL @.@

  • I'd vote Helena Bobham Carter or Cote de Pablo to play Grimalkin.

  • On book 4!

  • i would kill to be a spook

  • this is my favorite book series

  • is there an eighth book? I just finished the seventh and im desperate to see if there's another one!!!!!!!

  • @whitelexie123 The 8th book just came out in the US on the 19th! It's called Rage of the Fallen here, and I just finished it.....It won't come out till June in the UK for some reason though. You can actually get the audiobook for free if you go to Audible, then sign up for their 2 free audiobooks trial! :D

  • im on the fifth book

  • I would see the movie on the first day

    I want them to make a movie

  • is there a fith book of this series cause im about to finish the fourth one

  • @JaviR101 There is 7 or 8 books i think

  • hope he writes more

  • Read the first book finish the second today can't for the third :)

  • He talks in a very teacher-y manner, which is unsurprising since he used to teach. 

  • I love this series

  • This is one of the best authors you can find. Joseph uses a sort of early English to tell the battles and training of Tom Ward. I think Last Apprentice movies would be totally AWESOME. Especially if they were amazing and well advertised, they could get a lot more people to notice the series. I think a book from Alice's point of view would be darker and more mysterious than Tom's point of view. Would it be all Bony Lizzie teaching Alice potions and spells or will she go out on quests and things?

  • Comment removed

  • There is the proccess of making the movie right now!

    Jeff bridges as "The Spook"

    Alex pettyfer as "Tom"

  • Comment removed

  • love this books :D

  • how come the spook looks like delanely

  • @kentukyfryed UK and US have diff covers and names for the book

  • This book is amazing i am so addicted to this book but its not a movie yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but how come twilight is a movie a really sucking move I read online and also on tv the last apprentice is going to be a movie in 2011

  • This book is amazing i am so addicted to this book but its not a movie yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but how come twilight is a movie a really sucking move

  • I read all the books !

    and i'm not a nerd, geek or loser :)

  • I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HELENA BOBHAM CARTER PLAY GRIMALKIN

  • @svs89321 Ah, see I pictured Helena Bonham Carter as Bony Lizzie, and Grimalkin as Leonidas' wife from 300.

  • @Thecuregalore94 Agree

    

  • @svs89321 Yeah, but Grimalkin isn't psycho enough. She took pleasure into killing people, but in some way, she's too, let's say, logical. Bonham Carter is better in playing totally crazy character, very excentric and all.

    (By the way, I totally love both the actress and the character :P)

  • @svs89321 OH GOD YES

  • @svs89321 Kate Winslet would be great too.

  • Kentuckyfryed. The last apprentice is the American version but they are both the same

  • josheph delaney PWNS

  • I know. So have I.

  • ChildrenOfSalesMan. They are pretty awesome.

  • Once I become a director, my first movies will be the entire Wardstone Chronicles! This is the first book series to literally scare the living SHIT out of me and i love them! I kinda feel stupid now for not buying the other books yesterday but black Friday's coming up so i might as well spend my money then and just ask for the rest of the series for Christmas.

  • I think it would be awesome to make it into a film. I have read all the books 10times over and really enjoyed them.

  • @manscomb1998 i have read that they will make a movie of the spooks apprentice 2011!

  • somebody's gotta make these books into a movie! they'll b a hit! I've read books 1-7 and love it!

  • so please tell me what is the name because i am confused... i only know the wardstone chronicles.... with tom spook and alice... what is the last apprentice?

  • @alpacinorulzzz the american version is the last apprentice but there the same thing

  • @Teamgames100 oh, ok thanks... i am a huuge fan... btw do you know something about the movie?

  • iv only read to the 4th book but its a good serys and they made up to 8 as a apprentice and one when tom is a spook but if they make a moive im all for it =)

  • danget there are two books that i havent read that are part of the us series which are the last appentice a coven of witches and the last apprentice the rise of the huntress

  • Joseph delaney, if you read this please answer:

    why the hell did arkwright have to die?????? :( :'( :'( :'(

  • @CaptainHitsugayaTosh no ne knows that but his ghosts helps tom in the 7th book if you read it....

  • i would piss my pants if i was a spook but i would LOVE TO and i knew mam was a vampire

  • The Last Apprentice is better than Twilight saga. In twilight they have just vampires and stupid romance, but in The Last Apprentice we have magic, horror, witches, ghosts and demons!

  • The best books in the world(:

  • I REALLY HOPE THEY MAKE IT INTO MOVIES! this could be better than harrypotter and ofcourse by twilight!

  • i love how he doesnt even know how alice will turn out.

  • 17 of august the rise of the huntress OMG!

  • he cant write for jack-diddly-shit. His books blow elephant cocks so hard his skin is peeled off by its blaze. He just wants to be like Tolkien

  • @leeho98 His books are good your probaly sum cracked up harry potter fan

  • @ColtDoxt1245 well, harry potter is even worse

  • @leeho98 True 

  • @TWQRR2 i would think the usa covers look better because in the uk, there just a picture of the spook, but in the usa, theres a detailed picture.

  • ok im confused :\ what is the proper name some vids have the last apprentice others say the spooks what is it?

  • @mionDM in the usa, the books are known as "The Last Apprentice". In England, they are known as "the Spook's ____". So technically its both, but i prefer the last apprentice because it sounds cooler

  • NEW BOOK COMING OUT IN AUGUST.

    That is what it said on amazon at least. =)

    a movie must come out eventually??

  • i read them all! i love them i cant stand to read any other books now since i read these. no books i found to be even close to as amazing as these

  • I hope they make this into a movie; they're making a sorcerer's apprentice one. I mean these books would be GOOD movies.

  • i started to read the books like 1 week ago...and got all crazy..so i read 1 book per day..and now its no more books..cos i live in sweden and the last one is not out yet..the last 1 i have read...was when his mother died..and all that...and where the hell is the grimalkin fan art!?..i wanna see her..she seems so awsome <3 :D

  • I LOVE THESE BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i absolutley love these books they should all be made into a movie and not one detai should be changed or tht would ruin it all

  • but that doesnt change the brilliance of the series itself

  • the original english covers and titles for these books r way better

  • i was a bit weary about alice in the first book i dont think tom made the right desision taking alice to her aunts and not the pits cant wait till the movie

  • @nciscrew Yeah, but alice and tom are so close, the books would not be half as good without alice.

  • @TheHockeyplayer4eva good point you have there

  • ohkay im 14 and i just randomly found this series in the library at my school... we are required to choose a book of at least 300 pages every marking period and i stumbled appon the second book of this series. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. im going to keep reading all the books but they are WAY better then twilight and harry potter.

  • My name is also Joe Delaney. I demand some sort of friendship with this man based solely on the fact that our names are similar. In fact, I'm left handed too. He's trying to become me. Next thing you know, he's going to get fat and try to suck my youth out of my nostrils. Damned spookmaster.

  • ya,you should deffinetly make a movie!and p.s. i cant wait for alices book to comr out shes my favorite charecter!8)

  • HARRY POTTER SUCKS They better make a movie! i luv book 4 it was so suprising and lots of information about his mom plz answer me,why does he call his mom mam and stuff??

  • @slimey103 they are british and the Joseph Delaney is british

  • @slimey103 harry potter dosen't suck, it's just not as good as these books, also he proberly called his mum 'mam' because he has an accent an yes it would be really cool if they made a movie LIKE the book !

  • I have read every book of this series and instead of going throgh all the trouble with the spooks point of veiw books and alices books why not finish the series out and then have their books as like behind the lines or sequals i mean im still waiting for the covent of witches to come out.. so i beg to finish the series cuz im dying to know what tom chooses and if the choice is the right one.

  • fallingRecon Really? I always heard it was called the wardstone chronicles over there, my bad.

  • you may not like it being called 'the last apprentice" in america, but in canada It's called " the wardstone chronicles" I mean come on the wardstone chronicles! seriously?? now that's a stupid name.(no offense to canadians not like you can help it)

  • @snarenett yeah youre comment is fake iits not called The wardstone chronicles in Europe not Canada its called the last apprentice in Canada as well

  • Seriously, his books are the best. I've never enjoyed reading books, but i've actually ordered his last 3books on English which aint my main language. I mean, i'm so wanna have the movie done now and go watch it at midnight! :D

  • is there gunna be anoher book out i hope so

  • Which book is your guys' favorite?

  • @HelpMyWii Twilight's story is retarded. Only smart mature people know that. Immature children can read it, too. In my school we have something called Accelerated Reader where they number books to grades. In my school it says that the level is 4.5. That's 4th grade vocabulary. The story isn't original either. Stephenie Meyer just took a simple concept and directed it at teenage girls.

  • yeah, cause reading about abusive relationships and pedofile vampires is much more matur than reading an original fantasy series that actually holds some historic facts.

  • wright a book 7!!!!!

  • @HelpMyWii

    Twilight is not an original story since it is almost exactly like the vampire diaries(i've read the books) and twilight is simply written even immature children can read it,the most difficult word in twilight is "nonchalantly" wich is mention like 20 times on the last book. stephanie meyers is not a real writer,she uses simply 5th grade lvl vocabulary and ripped off L.J smith's work.

  • its noit fukin the last apprentice its the spooks appretice fukin americans

  • that may be true but in america 'spook' is considered a swear word so it maybe anoth name here in England but there is no need to be rude about it.

  • It's not a swear word?

  • No. Actually the series is called The Last Apprentice...? wtf. . .

  • @azerskater

    thats the american series but in europe its called the spooks apprentice (but only in the first book)

  • @lungsx4xgallows sorry about the out burst it was my cousin i never read the books. are they any good????

  • i love this series and it is most definetly the best series ive ever read

  • geez I LOVE THESE BOOKS!!! XD i'm just reading book 5 :3 and i love it

  • How come this books are not yet movies. I mean this books are great,they're suspenful and unpredictable. the last apprentice series is even better than the twilight series.

  • No wonder, twilight suck..

  • the first one is being made into a movie

  • @MrShawtyshorty he is my stepgrandad and he is making a movie it is coming out in 2010 or 2011

  • @MrShawtyshorty The first is being made into a movie atm.

  • @MrShawtyshorty I hope they do make movies but they'll have to be gory and actually creepy/scary my fear is that they'll dumb down all the horror and violence from the book in the film and it'll scar the series in my opinion.

  • @MrShawtyshorty they're soon releasing it in the cinemas and it is COMPLETELY different to the books, by the look of it. It's not in the countryside...instead it's in a busy city by the looks of things. Am not happy =(

  • @ChukchiCatori Link the trailer! :D i wanna se it.im addicted! =)

  • @hemxor Sorry, I don't know if it is on here because I saw the trailer in the cinemas and it didn't mention a date. I'll keep a look out though.

  • @MrShawtyshorty i know right....we need more ppl to read em.

  • @MrShawtyshorty 'cause the makers would fuck it up like they did tyo all the other good books.

  • @MrShawtyshorty i think that maybe the movies should wait because i haven't seen a good movie be made from a book since Chris Columbus did Harry Potter, but then he raped the Percy Jackson series so i would wait for a sensible director come along

  • @MrShawtyshorty i heard they are making a movie of it but it says that its called the Spook's Apprentice! :D

  • @MrShawtyshorty Well no shit the twilight series suck -_-

  • i love the last apprentice has to be my favorite series

  • on joseph delaney's blog he says the seventh book will be called the spook's nightmare. there will also be an eighth book which has no title yet and the ninth book will maybe be called the alice dean diaries!

  • apprently there is a film coming out in 2011 based on these books

  • What's the series in order?

    1. The Last Apprentice~Revenge of the Witch
