Critics Review

Praise for Skulduggery Pleasant:‘A gripping debut.’ Phil Hogan, Observer‘Landy’s witty style will win him fans of all ages … It’s a good job Harry’s [Potter] resigning before he’s forcibly retired.’ Irish Mail on Sunday‘Hugely enjoyable – a thrill-a-minute adventure.’ Jonathan Stroud, author of the Bartimaeus Trilogy‘It’s exciting, pacy, nicely handled and fun. I sincerely hope Landy revisits these characters.’ Philip Ardagh, Guardian‘Skulduggery Pleasant serves up a thoroughly satisfying blend of humour, magic and adventure. Once you’ve met Stephanie and Skullduggery, you’ll be clamouring for a sequel.’ Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series‘A remarkably accomplished debut with wonderful dialogue.’ Robert Dunbar, Irish Times‘A rip-roaring adventure.’ Irish Sunday IndependentPraise for Derek Landy:‘Landy [has the] ability to craft an engaging story from start to finish.’ Inis‘Derek Landy has been something of a publishing phenomenon.’ Irish Post
