Doors are for people with no imagination.
BASICs
It's a book. Okay, that was useless. Start again.
It's a book about detectives. But Valkyrie Cain and Skulduggery Pleasant aren't normal detectives. They use magics to hunt creatures like vampires.
And they have to fight against really bad guys!
Characters
Skulduggery Pleasant - a skeleton and detective, works for the sanctuary
Valkyrie Cain - 12year old girl, original name Stephanie Edgley
Mr. Bliss - strongest Man in the world
Gordon Edgley - Valkyrie's uncle, dies at the begin of the book
Story
The book begins when Stephanie Edgley's uncle died because of a heart attack. She inherit his house and his money. At the same evening she and her mother want to visit the house, but their car brokes and her mother drive away together with the mechanic to repair it, so Stephanie has to stay alone at home.

She don't do it and is finally attack by a men who is immun against flames, but she is rescued be Skulduggery Pleasant. She discovers that he is a skeleton an decides, that she will help him to discover the murderer of Gordon, because his sudden death wasn't naturally.
She becames involved in a world filled with magic and soon she is helping Skulduggery.
Pro and Cons
This book is about fighting, magic and evil guys, so I can't do anything but to love it. Really! Derek Landy did a great job with writing Skulduggery Pleasant. He has an amazing humour!
I just can't stop laughing!
But there are also scenes and parts, where you just wanna to cry.
It has something of all, it is scary, but also funny. And it is easy to read.
A bad point is, that it is only short, so you'll finish it very quickly. But I think that's not a problem, because there are already 6 books (English) and a 7th is comíng soon!
Funny and awesome quotes
"So you are real? You actually exist?"
"Presumably."
"You mean you're not sure if you exist or not?"
"I'm fairly certain. I mean, I could be wrong. I could be some ghastly hallucination, a figment of my imagination."
“So you won't keep anything from me again?",Valkyrie asked.
He put his hand to his chest. "Cross my heart and hope to die."
"Okay then. Though you don't actually have a heart," she said.
"I know."
"And technically, you've already died."
"I know that too."
"Just so we're clear."
You know, because I'm at the moment in Australia I wasn't able to go to the Leipziger Books fair. That is so terrible, you know, because Derek Landy was there!
When I read that on his own blog, I was so down you can't imagine!
Well, I'll survive it.
So, and who is my mysterious reader who doesn't show himself or herself?
