Skulduggery Pleasent
Skulduggery Pleasant is a book for horror, magic and thrill seekers it thrives on pure suspension every turn of the page. I would certainly recommend this book for young adult or even younger ages as it will be the best book you read this month. It is based on a girl named Stephanie Edgley she finds out there is another world full of magic, monsters and much more. She is soon to partner up with none other than detective Skulduggery Pleasant, but is this the life for her? Does she have the ability to learn magic? Maybe, maybe not,but you'll have to read the book to find out.

Great!
This is a great book! It's got the perfect mix of humor, fantasy, and mystery, which is a winning combination for me. I couldn't put it down.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Moore
Awesome
The book was a real good read, it's a mixture of mystery and adventure, my favorite type of book. Derek Landy is truly a brilliant writer. Being a bookworm I know a good book when I read one but in this case an excellent book. I recommended it to my friend and even she loved it. I can't wait for the next Skulduggery Pleasant book.

Derek Landy's 'Skulduggery Pleasant'......
I absolutely loved the book 'Skulduggery Pleasant'.
It was exciting , and humorous and not to mention an overall great read. I have to add my congratulations to Mr. Landy he's characters are funny and eccentric (especially skulduggery who is my favorite) . I do hope it does become a movie one day as I am sure it would be a hit.
