I admit, it took me a little while to warm up to this series, but now I’m hooked! The audiobook is an incredible performance, as well. Eoin Colfer creates a fascinating new universe that is peopled with equally fascinating characters. It would be a great read for preteens, but as an adult, I thoroughly enjoyed it as well. I also love the physical book – the cover is much nicer than shown here, and it has uneven, old-fashioned looking rag paper pages. It’s much higher quality material than you usually find in a hardback.

I am not a big reader of books. If a book doesn’t capture my interest within the first 3 pages, I put it aside…never to be opened again. A friend of mine purchased the first book for me at Christmas. Although I thanked her for the gift, I scoffed inside thinking to myself, “who wants to read a book about vampires? -silly.” Well, I went on a trip to California and wanted to bring something along to read on the plane, so I took the Twilight book. I ended up reading the entire thing and couldn’t wait to get back home to order the next one. Before I finished the 2nd book, I ordered books 3 and 4. I felt as though I knew the characters personally! The entire series is awesome and you find yourself not wanting to put them down because you have no preconceived guess on what’s going to happen next. Highly recommended.
