Artemis Fowl

Hanza · 09-08-2003, 08:23 AM

I couldnt believe it when i searched for atremis fowl and found nothing. So i thought id start a thread.

There are three books in the series.
Artemis fowl
The arctic incident
The eternity code
I have read all three and think they are great. I love the way he writes and i find it really hard to stop reading once i get started.

On holiday i found another book by him but not in the series called the wish list. It was really good.

Anyone else read any?

Varda Oiolosseo · 09-08-2003, 11:40 AM

I havn't read them but i want to.

Are they worth reading then?

Hanza · 09-09-2003, 04:17 AM

definetely. they are a good laugh and you get really attached to the characters.

They are thinking about making a film of them. but i dont know when it is coming out. I suggest you read the books before the film comes out. more surprise that way

I have read first book.it's not bad but I have feeling like it has been written for children (no offence,it depends on person). anyway,I'm planing to read other books to when I finde some time

I only don't like that kind of elfs

Elf Girl · 09-09-2003, 08:21 PM

I think the're okay. They get better the further you go.

Hanza · 09-10-2003, 06:03 AM

I agree elf girl. They do. I thuoght the first was wicked but the others just got more cool and adventurous.

Goldberry1 · 09-10-2003, 05:05 PM

i read the first two. i thought they were all right, i didn't really get into them as much as other books but they were still pretty good.

cee2lee2 · 10-01-2003, 07:32 PM

They are written for children, but I liked them very much anyway. I find that well-written children's books are often worth an adult's time.

I've read the 3 that are in the series so far and enjoyed them very much. Have to admit that I laughed out loud in the first book when I read about "LEPRECON."

Elvedans · 10-02-2003, 11:30 AM

Has anyone worked out the code writing at the bottom of the pages? There's a separate code for each book and they get harder. I've worked out all of them and i know for a fact that there will be a fourth book. I love them, they're so funny and refreshing.

Hanza · 10-15-2003, 01:30 PM

I didnt know that the codes at the bottom could actually be figured out. Well theres a challenge for the weekend!

A fourth book eh? yippeee!!!

***IronParrot*** · 10-15-2003, 06:08 PM

I'm starting the first Artemis Fowl book probably tonight. It's in the on-deck circle on my reading list.

I'll be sure to post my thoughts.

***IronParrot*** · 10-18-2003, 06:40 PM

Wow. I was very impressed with just how much I enjoyed the first book. True, you can't quite compare it to the far more fleshed-out modern magical society created by J.K. Rowling, and some of the (toilet) humour is aimed a bit low, but... this book was just so much fun!

I'm definitely going to move on to the second and third books as soon as I can get a hand on my brother's copies.

old scholar · 10-19-2003, 08:58 PM

I liked the books but they are more for children and you really can not get into deatails that much, How did you crack the code??????

Falagar · 12-06-2003, 04:45 PM

I have read the two first (a long time since now), hoping to get the third on Christmas.

Linaewen · 12-07-2003, 05:41 AM

Send it to me when you're done, eh Falagar? Too lazy to get it myself.

Darn I have a lot of trilogies to complete reading.

Raistlin · 12-07-2003, 07:07 AM

the whole series is written for children but it is pretty good

peperheart · 12-25-2003, 06:01 PM

I tried....really tried to read Artemis Fowl; but I just couldn't get into it. And did anyone ever figure out that code????

cee2lee2 · 12-26-2003, 09:47 AM

Not everyone likes every book!

And I think Elvedans mentioned above about cracking the code. I'm not good at that sort of thing so can't even give you any hints.

And BTW, welcome Peperheart

Elf Girl · 12-26-2003, 01:18 PM

I was going to figure out the code, but upon realizing there was a whole page of it translated in the middle, I just looked it up on the Net.

Now I live in America, and there's no code, or prose referring to code, in the last two books over here. On the website I got the translation of it, it said that the code and text referring to it had been cut out of American editions! Any idea why?
