Customer Reviews
The best series ever!
I've been a huge fan of this series for a while now; I just finished book six last month. Why isn't the amazing book six available here in American eBooks you ask? Because apparently there aren't enough American fans yet; which I know can change in a heart beat once everyone spreads the word on how great theses books are. So if you are new to reading the Skulduggery Pleasant series and you want to have all the books available in America, please recommend them. Thank you.
Exciting
This book had my 8 yr old yearning to read. Kudos to the author. An exciting tale of magical adventure.
A little-known-gem!
The Skulduggery Pleasant series is a riot! It's full of laugh-out-loud humor, incredibly witty dialog, and a great deal of action. While there is certainly plenty of violence and "graphic" injury to the, mostly other-worldly, characters, Derek Landy writes so as to allow the reader to imagine the action as he or she will -- a junior vampire movie, a Warner Brothers cartoon, or something in between. My daughter and I find this series equally charming, and enjoy the "Dr Who caliber" banter between the characters. Derek Landy joins Eoin Colfer and Michael Scott in the "spectacular Irish authors for the young at heart" club!
