Well, at last finished all 4 of Artemis fowl series. And, no I am not much impressed. Though it makes a good time pass, it is not like something you put down only after you finish it. But, the book has some merits. First, the plot. The hero is a 12 year old boy, Artemis Fowl Jr, but I think the author failed to give justice to his caliber. My thoughts are best summed up by Capt. Holly Short who says in the book Opal Deception “till now, all my adventures with Fowl were like comic strip escapes”. Thatz the only book which does some justice to the character. The author finely crafts a web for the events to take place, but when really the ball starts rolling, its over even before you realize it started rolling. I am not sure whether I can compare Fowl with Harry potter, but both have some parallel traits. Both are prodigies, but while Potter is humble, boy next door character, Fowl knows he have what it takes to be  a prodigy, and he enjoys it. But on almost all other aspects, potter scores over Fowl. I will recommend it to some one who wants to spend some leisurely time reading something light.

Now I am trying to make a pic – Edward de Bono or Sherlock Holmes…..
