Derek Landy Press Reviews
Praise 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
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 Skulduggery, 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 Independent
About Derek Landy
Derek Landy is far too modest to talk about any awards or accolades his books may have won. He will not, for instance, mention the fact that his first book, Skulduggery Pleasant, won the Bord Gais Energy Irish Book of the Decade Award AND the Red House Children's Book Award, or that his second, Playing With Fire, won an Irish Book Award for Children's Book of the Year, or that his third, The Faceless Ones, is his mother's personal favourite. He could go on, all the way to The End of the World, which is the title of the story he wrote for World Book Day 2012, but he won’t.
He lives in Ireland with a variety of cats, a German Shepherd, and two geriatric Staffordshire Bull Terriers who keep peeing on his kitchen floor because they think it's funny.
