Book Review: The End of the World


Review:  #378
Title:  The End of the World
Series:  Skulduggery Pleasant - companion book
Author:  Derek Landy
Read Before:  no
My Comments:  This was a good short story with a nice twist in the end.  It started off fairly bland with the introduction of another character that you’d know you wouldn’t see in any other book again.  The character was normal and bland, yet was forced into the world of Skulduggery Pleasant.  As the title suggests, it’s something to do with the end of the world, not exactly the most original.  There were some good one-liners but the story is fairly basic.  By this stage in the series, vampires seemed to have been overused (what with Dusk and Caelan in the main series, we’ve seen our fair share of them).  The second short story at the end, “Just Another Friday Night” was too short to have anything unexpected but still kept you interested.
