ashwinvis wants to read Dune: Dune Chronicles by Frank Herbert (1)
There is a lot of hype surrounding Dune. In some old forum I recall seeing it termed as the LOTR of sci-fi. Naturally I was curious. The aesthetics were very different though, for instance character names have a West Asian touch. I did not read much more than that the 1st time. Must try reading again, before the movie lands

ashwinvis reviewed Eldest by Christopher Paolini (The Inheritance Cycle, #2)
Review of 'Eldest (Inheritance, Book 2)' on 'GoodReads'

ashwinvis reviewed Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer
Review of 'Artemis Fowl' on 'GoodReads'

There I was, testing if the original Artemis Fowl series was worth giving a try. So I tried the graphic novel for a quick read.
The art was OK. But the story was too simplistic. Artemis is more like a omniscient brat, hardly adorable.
