But tobknow what im talking about you.must read the book otherwise its an excellent book and i hope you enjoy it. Now their are only a few of these bad points as the book is basically perfect, in some of the chapters like hanging around chapters like that yes i know its the starting chapter but it could describe a few more things aswell as Valkyrie Cain. Now we get to some of the not so good chapters in the boo.

One last good thing about the book is if you want a descriptive book that describes all the dark and and famous objects buy this book. I wont spoil it for some readers but if you want a brilliantly written book by a brilliantly put together author who knows how to appeal a bookto all ages read this book. Sklduggery plleasent finds a normal school girl called Valkyrie Edgely who doesent really like school, her parents are boaringand she wants some action and excitement in her life. I particularly liked where the scenes are based in ireland, it suits the way i read very well, Derek Landy shas writen many skullduggery pleasent books and they are all excellently written the way be sets the book and the storyline. The book skullduggery pleasent is an excellent read with adrenalin filled action scenes that are suited to all ages.
