Guest Merciful Idiot Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 A series of novels written by Eoin Colfer. Originally' date=' the tale of an Irish pubescent evil genius and his efforts to acquire money and power by exploiting the secret underground world of fairies living beneath the world using both magic and advanced supertechnology. In later books in the series, he becomes a more benevolent fellow, working cooperatively with the fairies to curtail human mischief. The series takes cues from suspense, action, "heist" crime films, and James Bond-esque spy movies and transplants them into a modern fantasy setting. The series currently comprises six novels, two short stories that are available in the companion book The Artemis Fowl Files, two graphic novels that appear to form a different canon to the prose. A seventh book is due for release in Summer 2010. A sample chapter of it is available here.[/quote'] Six books so far, with Atlantis Complex (Sample here) coming in June or July. Other than forgotten periods and speech marks in The Opal Deception, I'm surprised this isn't as good as Harry Potter, I mean seriously. Discuss.

Kiyo Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 I've read the first (and a bit of the second), and the series looks promising.Artemis beats the crap out of that Cullen fellow is probably one of the most interesting literature characters I've read about.

Shradow Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Almost best thing ever. Butler could kick Chuck Norris' ass. Before he got old, I mean. Maybe after, too, but I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Merciful Idiot Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 You only read Time Paradox. Weird. Then again, I read The Opal Deception before all the other books.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Survivor Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 No. He isn't cooler than me. He's a fictatious character that talks to fairies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulbasaur Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Artemis hit puberty at the age of two, raped his first girl when he was three(Holly, it's in a fan-fic), and did advanced algebra at the age of four. Also, ate an operating chainsaw without dying at the age of 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Supreme Gamesmaster Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Artemis hit puberty at the age of two' date=' raped his first girl when he was three(Holly, it's in a fan-fic)[/b'], and did advanced algebra at the age of four. Also, ate an operating chainsaw without dying at the age of 7.Irrelevant information is irrelevant. Also, "it's in a fan-fic?" lolwut? Do you intend to tell me That Series should be counted as relevant to Redwall? Relevant information, however, is relevant: It's alright, but it's rather immature at times. I've read better, but I've read worse. Twilight was ultimately the more valuable and fun read for me, in the sense that I learned how to make Eden, a girl with literal yandere personality disorder, vaguely sympathetic and was able to MyST it as I went along, whereas Coifer's books weren't amazing, but nowhere near bad enough to MyST; that, and I don't plan on writing teenaged criminal masterminds anytime soon (though it'll be good reference material if I do). I will, however, trust Mr. Colfer with Hitchhiker's VI and hope for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Survivor Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I apologize for the spam, but I find the idea of a supergenius kid that speaks to fairies to be somewhat insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
