Vacation update

Hello people of the world!(that is my favourite opening)Today,we had gone to Cheoul,Alibag where the temple of our family deity-Goddess Bhagvati is situated.We go there every year and I enjoy the travelling part immensely.
Recently,I finished reading Artemis Fowl and the Opal Deception and I have started with Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony.Opal Deception was a very interesting book with a good,fast-moving plot.However,when Commander Julius Root,one of the main characters in the series is killed,the reader should get an extreme feeling of sadness.But,nothing like that happened.
I mean,you may probably say that it depends on the person's EQ,which is true to some extent,but still,some detailed description of the loss and sadness felt by the other characters can do.I felt that it just went on with the flow of incidents happening throughout the book.These kind of incidents should not be there in the book,if they are unable to pull at your heart strings.
Well,that was my opinion.Not that I like to feel sad while reading a book,but then if its there then it should be portrayed effectively.But apart from that,it's awesome.The way the plot unfolds at a bearably fast pace is totally remarkable.There are instances in the book,when you can't help but laugh out loud.For example,at the end when Artemis is thinking of reforming but finding it hard to give up his criminal enterprises,he says to himself;maybe I can be a modern day Robin Hood,steal from the rich and give to the poor.Or maybe...just steal from the rich.One step at a time!
LOL!Not only this,there are innumerable humorous instances in all the books in the series.But I won't go listing all of them,some are context-related.
So overall,the books are very enjoyable.That's all for today,I guess.Good-bye till my next post!
