Kell Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 Has anyone else read the Artemis Fowl books? I've read all four & loved them but I just thought others might like to know the 5th one is due out in September... http://www.eoincolfer.com Quote
Louiseog Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 Yippee!! I loved these whispers although they are for children! Sort of HP meet James Bond! Heard an interview with Eoin Colfer who was very funny! Quote
Sugar Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 Big fan of Eoin Colfer, although I slightly prefer some of his older work, "The Wish List" is my favourite. In Artemis, my favourite character is Mulch Diggums. Does that just prove my childish mind?! Quote
Sassenach Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 I hadn't realised that there was another one coming out soon. We both love them. Mulch Diggums is my favourite character too. Quote
Kell Posted June 16, 2006 Author Posted June 16, 2006 I have to admit that if I were ever to return to acting, it would be so that I could play Captain Holly Short of the LEP-Recon - LOL! Quote
Louiseog Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 I like Foaly the best (although could obviously never play him! - not because I don't look like a horse.... I'm too fat!! LOL) Quote
wiccibat Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 What age range are they aimed at? Only asking because I'm stocking up for Adrian's holiday. Quote
Kell Posted June 16, 2006 Author Posted June 16, 2006 I think they're really aimed at perhaps 10 & over (& the range could go right up really), but if you've got a 7 or 8 year old who's a particularly avid reader, I reckon they'd be more than happy too. I think they're aimed at the same market range as Harry Potter. I certainly enjoyed them & was thinking I might get them for my niece this Xmas asshe'll be almost 9 by then. Quote
wiccibat Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 He 's not 7 till August, so I'll have to get them for me,[i might read him a chapter or two if he's good!] Quote
Laramie Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 i love these books!! i read all of them except the very newest which ive requested at my library. cant wait!! Quote
Mia Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 I've read the first four, and really enjoyed them. Artemis is my favourite character. I'll be reading the fifth as soon as it's out in paperback! I've also read The Wish List, which was very good, and The Supernaturalist, which I was less keen on. Quote

Claire Consterdine Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) So I may be considered a little old (thirty and a bit...) for this series but I still think they're great. Am I the only "adult" who enjoys them? I also really enjoy Angie Sage's series Septimus Heap! Edited October 4, 2008 by Michelle merged with previous thread Quote
Kell Posted October 4, 2008 Author Posted October 4, 2008 no - I ADORE the Artemis Fowl boks and I'm in my 30s! Quote
Nellie Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 I'm right there with you in the "I love Artimis Fowl books and I'm a bit older than 10 group"! Quote
angelofboox Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 I think they're great! (I'm 19, do I count as an adult yet?) Artemis Fowl really is one of my favourite protagonists. Quote
lexi Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 So I may be considered a little old (thirty and a bit...) for this series but I still think they're great. Am I the only "adult" who enjoys them? I also really enjoy Angie Sage's series Septimus Heap! I liked Septimus Heap, too! I've read four Artemis Fowl books.. I'll read the fifth when it comes in my hands I liked the idea of someone not so perfect or good to be a main character and he's smart and funny :dog: I've started reading those books in elementary school and still like them very much Quote
Nellie Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 (edited) I have just finished the latest Artimis Fowl book, and I have to say its the best yet. Very clever and very funny. Edited November 23, 2008 by Nellie Quote
Polly Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Generally I love this genre of book but I absolutly hated Artimus Fowl, I had to read it for a school book challenge and I found it very hard to finish. I think perhaps its the style of writing I don't like I've read other books written by him (mister monday) and I found that I didn't enjoy them either. Quote

I think your getting a little confused though, Eoin Colfer wrote Artemis Fowl. Garth Nix wrote Mister Monday. (Keys to the kingdom.)? Quote
Christie Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Oh yeah I love these books! The thought if an evil teenage genius as the main character just drew me in! But I have to say i think Foaly has to be my favourite character his sarcastic comments are soo funny and he reminds me of me! I've read the 5th one- Artemis Fowl and The Time Paradox and loved it so many twists and turns that kept you on the edge of your seat! Quote
Rawr Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 I have started the Arctic Incident and like what i have read thus far. I shall have more of an idea when i'm further in. Quote
DeWilde Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 I've read the first 3 books and really enjoyed them! It took me a little while to adapt to the style but they get addictive for sure. Quote
Mia Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 I'm currently over halfway through Artemis Fowl and the Time Paradox, and enjoying it. I've read all the others and liked them too. I do like Colfer's sly, sarcastic wit and the relationship between Holly and Artemis. Quote
