Why I stopped reading the Artemis Fowl series
If you have been reading my blog, you would've have realized that I only read the first 3 Artemis Fowl books. I was reading the fourth and was about halfway through it when I realized that the plots were vaguely familiar. In each book, Artemis Fowl is faced with some impossible task that he always overcomes. In my case, I found the predictability quite drab so I decided "Why waste the time?" I know it is a very good series but it is just not my style although it is for many other people.
