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?
