Two Books I Would Recommend

If I had to choose two books to recommend to a friend, I would definitely say the Golden Compass and the Artemis Fowl books. I would recommend the Golden Compass series because after I read the last book, I couldn’t bear the fact that the series was over. It was such an amazing series that I felt as though I was actually a character in the book. There was so much detail, but not too much so as to make the book too hard to read, such as Lord of the Flies. It was a great story about a girl who is very curious, which sometimes gets her in trouble, and how she can read a special compass that can tell her anything she wants it to. Nobody else can read the compass, and the compass itself is a very rare thing to come across. All people in her world have daemons, and these daemons are basically the other half of their souls. The series is her adventure with her daemon in a different world from ours, a very strange and magical world. Artemis Fowl is about a boy genius from Ireland who knows that fairies exist and is the first to actually capture one. It is the story of his amazing intellect, which causes him to be able to outsmart almost all fairies, who are extremely intelligent and have a good ability to predict others’ moves. He gets himself into many different bad situations but always finds an extremely risky, but intelligent way to get himself out of them. These are a couple of books that I would recommend to a friend.
