    It's a gripping story, once you start reading you just can't stop. I'd say to read it if your over the age of 12, otherwise you may not understand fully what is going on.

    Skulduggery Pleasant

    Name: Alan Age 13
    29 November 2011;

    This series of books, despite their length, are very enjoyable. It appeals to my quirky sense of humour, and Mr. Landy describes everything very well.
