Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer
1.0

I DNF’d at about 70%. It’s YA but even still once the Artemis’s plot begins to unfold it felt overlong and when the author gets hyperbolic with similes they don’t even make sense? Like measurements of time being likened to speed and retcons established fiction for something fun technological in nature. Had the actual plan/premise/conceit been more interesting I’d have probably not been bothered by such things but as is i just kept waiting for something interesting and gave up.
