When twelve year old Stephanie Edgley attends her uncle's funeral she meets the tall, thin, Skulduggery Pleasant. This marks the beginning of her immersion into a world she never knew existed. Good things about this book, hmm, lets see: living skeletons that throw fire, breaking and entering on multiple accounts, Stephanie herself, magic, many interesting people, monsters, good writing, it's funny, lots of other things. What other things? Read it and find out.
Book reviews, a glossary which might more accuratly be called an encyclopedia, and some of the random bits floating around my head. Sanity not necessary. Enjoy! Vampires, weres, and other "mythical" creatures welcome.

ReplyDeleteYeah, Skullduggery is really funny, I don't think anything could puncture his ego. He and Stephanie make quite a pair.
ReplyDeleteThere are actually to more books after this one, but I didn't think that they were as good as this one. I never actually finished the third one, though, and some people might think that they were good.
