Artemis Fowl - Eoin Colfer (merged)
This is generally marked as just a children's book. But I would suggest trying it out. It is actually quite well written and enjoyable. Character development is superb and the plot is quite unique despite it being about such common themes.

As someone who's read all five books (yeah, I"m a nut for kids books), I'd recommend them as good fast paced fun with a lot of cool techno gagets I mean they aren't exactly Tolkien but they're a lot of fun to read. The first one is the best.

Hmm, the fifth one is out? I'll have to get myself a copy.

And yeah, the first one was really good.

Yeah, there are five books plus a companion book out. They are, in chronilogical order:
Artemis Fowl
The Artic Incident
The Eternity Code
The Opal Deception
The Lost Colony

The companion book is called The Artemis Fowl Files.

I enjoy them. I think they are well written and have followed their release since reading the first one a couple of months after its US release.

Do you realise how consistent our taste in books has been over the years? You and I should start a club or something.

I mean, we both like Bernard Cornwall's writing, the Redwall series, Atermis Fowl, and I'm sure many others.

Artemis Fowl
So who here has read any of the Artemis Fowl Series? I love it, I seriously suggest you try it if you like fantasy-type books.

Man, I almost started this thread myself!

I've read them all, and they are seriously awesome! The newest one was a little weird....even for Artemis Fowl books But I read them around once a year.....I personally liked the Eternity Cube best.

I'm certainly interested in what the sixth book will offer. I mean, that blue flicker of Artemis' should prove interesting.

I've heard of these, if I have some spare time, I may have to look into them.
