Artemis Fowl

Post by Reisheiruhime »

I'm reading Artemis Fowl: the Arctic Incident, by Eoin Colfer. It's really good. Almost better than Harry Potter.

Is it as good as the Philip Pullman "His dark materials trilogy?"

Completely different, though. ;) Fowl is good (and the first is better than the second) and fun, but it's nowhere as deep as HDM...

Artemis Fowl almost as good as His Dark Materials?!?! 8O

Oh God NO!!!!

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO :x

Given, the first Artemis book was ok, but I really didn't like the 2nd...

But they are nowhere near as good as HDM...At all.

They are completely different though, you have a point there Sev.

There's a 3rd one out...

The title evades me right now, but I will think of it.

Rumor has it, they are supposed to be a quartet.

I saw Artemis Fowl in the local book shop and remembered this thread. I'm kinda intrigued by it. :)
So I gather it is a series of books?

Is the Arctic Incident the first one?

No, that's the second one. I think the name of the first book is just Artemis Fowl. Not sure though. :) :?
