Young Writers Society

This is a book review about the Artemis Fowl book series by Colfer.

I feel the books are great specially the last book 'Artemis fowl and the lost colony.'but i would like to know the view of the other writers in the YWS.


Oh and those of you who haven't even heard of a code on the books. There is code on each end of the page (bottom of the pages) and sometimes on the cover and other places. As long as its written in fairy language its a code for you to crack. Those of you who do not have fairy language in your computer PM me and I'll send It to you.

So please tell me your views in Artemis Fowl.

Great series. I loved it. Not much else I can think of saying.

Excellent series. Very smartly written.

Although I have kind of fallen out with it because I thought he was only going to write the original three.

I love these books but I've never heard of a code in fairy language.

Great series; cracked the code on the second book easily enough, but couldn't do the first as easily so I didn't bother. The last book was great, I didn't think he'd be able to pull another off that well.

It makes me blush, but I still read the series.

It is no literary masterpiece, but I love it.

Ooh, I love those books. ^^

Not golden literature (that title goes to Rowling and Baum), but still fairly enjoyable. Especially the audio books.

I love those books. Haven't read the latest yet, though, I'm waiting for it to come out in paperback ... which it probably will do soon ...

I love how Colfer writes with such energy and humour. I might be 21, but there's still plenty to enjoy in it!

I remember I used to love how Artemis was portrayed- he was kind of broken; very intelligent but not dashing or charming. I loved it. It was totally a break from every other run-of-the-mill action or fantasy series...bizarre, but awesome. I should go re-read them now.

Ah, gawds. I love this series. I have the first four, and I grabbed the latest from the library when I saw it. Have yet to read it, but I can't wait to do so!

It's fun, easy reading, and I wish there was more of the like in the "literary world."

Oh! I read the lost colony a couple of weeks ago! *grins* I know they are supposed to be too young for me... but.... it's the teenage evil (or not so much) genius! How could you not love the subtle humour and... they are so well written!

I cracked the codes ages ago... I can only remeber what the first one and the lost colony ones were about now.
I just used the titles. when I found a symbol I didn't know, I searched the titles. lol

For all of the above who could not crack all the codes PM me i'l give you the full code

I don't like him, I tried to read the first, and stopped. I just couldn't stand him. He was so arrogant and smug. I just couldn't stand this about him. So I hate it.

I hated him at first. Artemis Fowl, I mean, although I guess I should say Colfer. The writing style put me off and for a while I didnt bother reading more than a chapter. Then one day I decided, what the heck, might as well finish it...

I havent looked back since I actually collect his books now, I like them that much. I wasnt so fond of the latest one, but it generally takes me a while to adjust to new things XD What I enjoyed most was the idea of a highly intelligent, slightly evil mastermind who was not suave and debonair but at the same time wasnt a mad scientist either. I love the fact that Colfer treats the reader as an equal and I applaud his ingenious remodeling of the fairy world

They're one of my favourite teen series'. Even though, technically, I'm too old for them now ...

I really liked the fact that Artemis is initially so despicable, it's completely original.
