Again, finished another book today but this isn't it. Expect the two I finished this week to show up next week sometime since I haven't written them and don't expect I'll feel much like it after tomorrow's funeral either.


Artemis Fowl: The Graphic Novel
by Eoin Colfer, Andrew Donkin and Giovanni Rigano
Twitter-sized review: I read too many books about fairies and cops and geniuses. But then someone recommends another good one...
Longer notes: Someone recommended the (novel) series to me at some point, but I never got around to reading it, so when I noticed this book was available I figured a graphic novel was a quick and easy way to see if I'd like the series. The answer is a definite yes. Fairy cops, incredible magical technology, and an anti-protagonist who takes pride in his reasoning skills? My curiousity is now definitely piqued. The art in these is quite pretty, though, and the storyboarding well-done, so I might go read any further graphic novels first even at risk of spoiling the actual novels.
