Braden Artemis fowl 2

In Artemis Fowl, by Eoin Colfer, the author makes Artemis very cautious and very smart. For example to get this fairy book he had to get it from a sprite that was addicted to alcohol. Artemis went up to the sprite and traded alcohol for 40 seconds with the book. Artemis quickly grabbed the book and took a picture of every page and then gave the book back. When he gave the book back his butler drugged the sprite so she would not remember this. In addition to being very careful Artemis is also very smart. For example, Artemis uploaded the pictures to learn fairy secrets; in the pictures it had weird writing in it. So, he used translator on his computer to decode the words. After two or three tries he tried egyptian hieroglyphics and it worked. He decoded the symbols. So far I like the book and I hope I will keep on liking it.
