Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy.

What happens in this book again? One minute let me have a flick through the pages. Ah yes, nothing interesting. This is a book just written for new readers, it's boring and the characters are flat. It's about this Stephanie girl who's uncle is a famous novelist, and when he dies he leaves her his house in his will. All of this unexciting stuff happens at the begining where we are introduced to all of the characters, none of which are interesting. We are suppose to be interested in a mysterious character in a tan over coat, I felt horribly childish reading this as it's obviously not for my age group, especially when we find out the mysterious man in the tan over coat is infact a skeleton. Oh dear. Someone comes to kill Stephanie for a reason that I forget, oh it was because the house has something to do with stopping an evil masterminds plot to world domonation. They some crazy sceptre thing, her uncle sealed this thing, the Sceptre of the Ancients, in a maze beneath the house. It's definitley not for anyone above the age of fourteen, a thirteen year old might be interested by this if they are new to reading but it is incredibly boring and unoriginal. I wouldn't recommend this book to any of you, I felt really silly reading it.

I read this book when I was like ten, it was good then but I read it again recently and fell asleep. That's all I have to say,

Haha Polly :P. When I read a bad book I don't spend the time talking about it. Except for Twilight. Ugh :glare:.
