Artemis Fowl
    #16975224 - 10/05/12 11:33 PM (11 years, 4 months ago)

During my elementary and middle school years I loved me some Artemis Fowl.  The Eternity Code was such an excellent book when I was a kid.  I still haven't read The Time Paradox yet, but I'm going to start it tomorrow.

Did anyone else read the Artemis Fowl series?  What are your thoughts on Eoin Colfer's writing style?

Oh shit, I didn't even realize there were two other books after The Time Paradox!

So much nostalgia to get through!

I remember those!!! Awesome books too, at my middle school there was a kid who had deciphered the 'hieroglyphics' in the book.

I read one with a gold cover years ago, it was okay but it wasnt good enough for me to remember much of it.

If the cover was gold it was probably the first book.

Please tell me about this kid.





He was a little eccentric to say the least.  Never did tell me what they said, which now that I think about it, leads me to believe the glyphs never said anything at all...

While I never tried to decipher the hieroglyphs I always wondered if they were actually decipherable.  I must admit, as a kid, they were intimidating and I did not try to decode their meaning.

This thread brought back some memories. I need to read the latest Artemis Fowl books. I can't believe there are so many. :crazy2:

I know a movie was in the works a few years ago but apparently it's been shelved.  While I doubt a film adaptation would come close to doing justice to the books it's always interesting to watch movies made from series' you enjoyed as a kid.
