Artemis Fowl

Main character is supposed to be this highly intelligent, no all that athletic, sociopath and the first shot of Artemis in the movie him surfing, riding some sort of mono board and being all sporty. That’s just the start, but I knew it wasn’t going to be good from that point.

Suicide by Edouard Levé - Aside from its heavy subject, it is also written in 2nd person which I find difficult to get a flow going with. That and there aren’t a lot of natural breaks.

The Dragon Never Sleeps by Glen Cook - I am a big fan of Glen Cook’s Black Company and Garrett P.I. series. This one is pretty different from his other works and so I have been slowly making my way through.
