The book that I have just finished reading is Artemis Fowl, The Opal Deception by Eoin Colfer. It is about Opal getting revenge on the people that put her in jail. In this book, Artemis Fowl became the victim of amnesia ("mind wipe"). As in other Artemis Fowl adventures, Holly Short helped Artemis to regain his memory in order to defeat Opal.
Opal is a Pixie genius who out-smarted the LEP and broke out of jail. She is taking revenge on those (Artemis Fowl, Butler, Holly Short and the Commander of the LEP) who put her in jail in the first place. At the end, she is apprehended and returns to jail.
Butler is Artemis' bodyguard and a very good one. He had graduated from the best bodyguard school. Butler saved Artemis' life countless times.
I think this book is very well writen. The plot is very clever and the details leading up to the plot are very descriptive. This book grabs your interest and enthusiusm, and doesn't let go until the very end.
The reading strategies that I used when reading this book are making mental images and reading between the lines. Sometimes the author hides information in sentences. If the reader is clever enough and finds this information, he or she will uncover and learn more about the plot in the book.
The author of the Artemis Fowl series is Eoin Colfer. The series includes The Artic Incident, The Eternity Code, etc. The strategies used in all the Artemis Fowl series is that the author keeps the reader guessing until the end.
