Artemis Fowl
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?

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 ![]()

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." ![]() |

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.

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.

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.

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 ![]() Last edited by cee2lee2 : 12-26-2003 at 09:49 AM. |

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? ![]()
