I thought it was a really good book and I finished it in 3 days as I couldn't put it down. I liked it because I love monster and horror stories. There was nothing I didn't like about it or understand about it and I thought it was a perfect book for a 10 year old boy. I also liked the way the book had an orange spine as I haven't seen a book like that before.

Skulduggery Pleasant is a funny detective with magical powers. There's just one thing though, he's a skeleton! In this hilarious, nail biting and surprising book Skulduggery and his sidekick, Stephanie, a twelve year old girl who's not dead, have to defeat an evil sorcerer who wants to take over the world (don't they always?).With vampires and monsters it's not the type of book I would normally read but I enjoyed every word and was glued to the book. It has an interesting and original story line that sometimes had me rolling around laughing and at other times had my heart racing. I really hope that there are more Skulduggery books to come and if there are I'll be first in line! This book should be on everyone's bookshelves.
