I absolutley LOVE this book!
The orange pages are fab, there are 3 books so far.
Skulduggery Plesant
Skulduggery Plesant - Playing with Fire
Skulduggery Plesant - The Faceless ones.

I love all of them as they are funny and Skulduggery is very sarcastic!

A brief on the book -
Skulduggery is a detective who came back to life in skeleton form.
Stephanie's Uncle Gordon just died and she is given a large amount in his will. One night Stephanie gets burgled, but nothing is taken, a bunch of (as I call them) maniacs try to get somthing from Stephanie. Skulduggery and Stephanie then get together and start solving mysteries with magic and sorcery! Thats not even everything! It's a brilliant book! Read it NOW! :friends0::lol:
Has anyone read this book! ? :razz:
:tong:

Reason for edit: merged posts and added author name to thread title

I have not read these books myself but I remember reading posts by other people saying they have read them and enjoyed them.

I would recommend typing Skulduggery in the search section (next to new posts) and search posts and comments people have made on those books in other threads will pop up :friends0:

It's probably the case people who have read them are not online atm.

Shannon said:I actually did try that, and only my thread came up. :friends0:

Oh, thanks, :razz:
And by the way, the 2nd and 3rd books are waaaaay better than the first!
:friends0:

I loved the first two, the third one is on my to read pile. There really funny and imaginative though not really for my age anymore I still love them.

hopefully as you havn't already got the second one when it was in high demand, you can get it in paperback, if they sell it like that, then maybe it will have the green pages.

I've only read the first one so far, but it was a lot of fun - very inventive and well worth giving a go. :mrgreen:

I bought the first two books the other day, I really like the covers :readingtwo:

I love them as much as you do!!!

synopsis from waterstones
Just when you think you've saved the world! "You will kill her?" the Torment asked. Skulduggery sagged. "Yes." He hesitated, then took his gun from his jacket. "I'm sorry, Valkyrie," he said softly. "Don't talk to me," Valkyrie said. "Just do what you have to do." Valkyrie parted her tunic, and Skulduggery pointed the gun at the vest beneath. "Please forgive me," Skulduggery said, then aimed the gun at the girl and pulled the trigger. With Serpine dead, the world is safe once more. At least, that's what Valkyrie and Skulduggery think, until the notorious Baron Vengeous makes a bloody escape from prison, and dead bodies and vampires start showing up all over Ireland. With Baron Vengeous after the deadly armour of Lord Vile, and pretty much everyone out to kill Valkyrie, the daring detective duo face their biggest challenge yet. But what if the greatest threat to Valkyrie is just a little closer to home!?
my thoughts
This was another good read, it seemed a little bit more violent though than the first book, which made me wonder about it being a childrens book. Nontheless, I find it (the series in general) to be a great story and it's something different to all the nice vampire stories and such.
Rating: 3/5
Series: Skulduggery Pleasant 2
