I bought a box set of Fullmetal Alchemist, after reading so many good reviews about this series. After reading the whole thing within two weeks. I was really disappointed. The story starts very slow, it got a little bit more interesting about half way through. It feels the characters especially the villains are really underdeveloped. I couldn't care for any of the characters. I wouldn't consider this series as an action manga, the action is the weakest part of the series. There is no proper description of the power system. The entire read felt like an drag. In my opinion, it is overrated.
