So many people were in shock that I didn't like the book because personally they loved it. Maybe he writes novels for adults better. I hope so because the same author wrote <em>And Another Thing</em>, the sequel to the Hitchhiker's Guide series, and now I'm even more torn in deciding whether to read it, especially because the humor I love so much in Adams definitely wasn't present in Artemis Fowl, despite what others may say.

I'm reading Artemis Fowl for my kids at the moment & I'm am close to shouting on every second sentence at how awful the syntax and word-choice are. Very basic stuff that even half-hearted editing should have dealt with. And yet Penguin backed it, it has taken off worldwide, and his writing seems to attract nothing but praise at least in the online amateur reviews and blogosphere. Fathom that!
