Book Review – The Opal Deception – Eoin Colfer

Posted on 27th November 2006 by Welshrogue in Book Review 2006

The evil Opal Koboi escapes from where is was being held in a coma and executes a plot that will give her revenge on those who helped have her captured in the first place, Holly Short, Julias Root and Artemis Fowl.

The fourth in the Artemis Fowl series is the best so far,  filled with action, danger and  a clever plot that has no holes. Eoin Colfer makes every word enjoyable with a writing style that is at once, easy to read and yet still, not too easy that you get bored.  The characters he has created life and breath and grow as people. The situations are wild and yet you never loose track of what is happening.

If you are looking for a fun book about magic and pixies and a teenage master criminal genius, look no further than the Artemis Fowl series.

Book Review – The Dante Club – Matthew Pearl

Posted on 22nd November 2006 by Welshrogue in Book Review 2006

Boston, 1865, a group of poets, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Oliver Wendell Holmes and James Russell Lowell, along with their publisher, J.T. Fields find that the book they are attempting to translate, Dantes Inferno, is the inspiration for a killer who is stalking the streets and murdering his victims in ways mentioned in the book.

Think of a murder mystery, set a century and a half ago, throw in a classical book such as Inferno and use real life characters trying to solve the murders and you have The Dante Club.

If you are at all a fan of Dante Alighieri’s Devine Comedy you will appreciate how Matthew Pearl has crafted this story around it and created a very good book. While it is very well written, if you are not such a literary fan then you may struggle slightly at points and find the book longer than its 418 pages.

A very enjoyable read regardless of your knowledge of Dante.
