A review by magentabyfive
Half-Moon Investigations by Eoin Colfer

2.0

It got old quickly. Don't get me wrong, young crime doesn't have to irritate me, I loved Filmore and wish there were more episodes, and I love Eoin Colfer and Artemis Fowl. But this kid? This kid was just irritating. Instead of the young detective thing being "funny" it was just majorly irritating. Constantly being reminded and all those little jokes and way of speaking made it really hard to read because I just couldn't get into it. The story was weird, I'll give it that, but more cringe worthy and less interesting than what I look for, and Red just wasn't enough to of a bad guy (odd I suppose since he does beat up Half Moon) to do the whole turning over a new leaf thing seriously.

So a little of a let down, but who knows, maybe I'm just not big into detective origin stories.
