Interpretation Supposing Books Artemis Fowl Boxed Set, Bks 1-5 (Artemis Fowl #1-5)
This had me thinking if humans really are living up to their full potential. If these Fairies do exist, then comparing comparing us to them, we are just throwing stones at each other. I think their inventions are amazing, and how Eoin describes how they work could make a person believe these inventions could exists, like the iris cam, small electronics that you wear as contacts that can record film and sound, can change your views by zooming in and out, thermal imaging, night vision, and even x-ray vision! Another invention is the bio-bomb, or 'blue rinse' as the fairies call it, which destroys all living tissue, and not touching anything else, it uses light as its weapon. Enough of the inventions, though, the story line is amazing, including Elves, Dwarves, Goblins, and other species of Fairies. Artemis Fowl himself is the most interesting person in the world, I'm always wondering what is going on his head, with an IQ that could be over Albert Einstein, "I hold Einstein with respect, most of his theories were correct." Artemis had said this in the interview of The Artemis Fowl files. I think people would read these books just so they can see what he says next. In book one, he was seen as an evil mastermind by the fairy people, and had plans only to make himself rich, what they did not understand was that his mother was insane and sick, and nobody knew anything about his father at the time. during the book, Artemis had to kidnap a Fairy and use it as a ransom for his money, or, more accurately, his gold, and that is how he had his first encounter with Holly Short, the Lower Elements Police Recon officer, or LEP-Recon for short. In the second book, the Arctic Incident, is where they make peace, more or less, when Artemis retrieves an email stating that the Russian Mafia has taken hostage of his father, at the same time, the fairies are noticing that Goblins are illegally getting their hands on human technology, and they suspect Artemis is helping them, when they find he isn't, they make a deal that Artemis will help them find out who is helping the Goblin gangs, in return, they must promise Artemis the support of the LEP to help retrieve his father. In the next book, Artemis swears he will go good after one more plot, which is to have an illegal deal with Jon Spiro, a man who owns a company and has a shady side to his past, but then things went wrong, Spiro had a trap and stole what Artemis was dealing with, in these turn of events, Artemis gets out of there alive, for a price his one true friend has to pay. now in this adventure, Artemis seeks help from his fairy friends to retrieve the device that Spiro stole, for the device could spread a war between humanity and the Fairies, but the price for the help of his friends is a mind wipe of all of the memories that includes any fairy related subject. In the fourth book, The Opal Deception, shows the old evil Artemis Fowl in a scheme of stealing a famous painting, at the same time, an old enemy comes back to seek revenge on all of Artemis' friends and Artemis himself. In the fifth shows new characters, where a girl is just as intelligent as Artemis, and she seeks to be noticed for the genius she is, but she does not know about the fairy people she is about to harm in her plan and it is up to Artemis to stop and save a whole rediscovered fairy species. All of these books i recommend to people who would like to read about fairy tales in a realistic shade to the 21st century society.Mention Books Conducive To Artemis Fowl Boxed Set, Bks 1-5 (Artemis Fowl #1-5)

This book takes quite a bit of reading comprehension to understand and stay interested in- but even if your not the best reader, the exciting twists and turns are really interesting and suprising- you always wonder how artemis is going to pull it off again but he always does!Artemis Fowl The Time ParadoxFirst of all, the series is Books 1 through 8. There are 2 other "add-on" books the author wrote after that, but most people don't bother with them. Secondly, all "boxed sets" are paperback.I found the first few books very imaginative and well-written. But the quality falls off sharply after the first 3. I didn't end up reading all the books completely after that--sort of skimmed them. I had the idea the author lost interest after awhile.It will be interesting to see how Disney makes a movie out
I loved these books! Colfer took an overdone theme (fairies, magic, etc.) and created a unique story with great characters. I'm re-reading some of them to study just how he did it. The audio versions are great as well, highly entertaining with the different accents.
I have really enjoyed this series especially with the idea of wanting something that my boys can read. It is hard finding good wholesome books for young men and that would keep their attention but these would definitely do it.
I borrowed this book series from my 8 year old cousin over Thanksgiving and winter break and was utterly transported. I never had any overriding desire to read them, but now that I have, I would recommned Artemis Fowl to anyone. They're exciting, clever, and funny and have some genuinely moving moments.
I did enjoy the story and some of the dialogue, especially Artemis's parts. I found the characters interesting, and if there is ever a genius as smart as Fowl Junior, I am certain he (or she) would have some of the same character traits.The greatest drawbacks were the swearing words and crude humor. Nothing terrible, but it lessened my enjoyment, especially because I read this book when I was young.
This series was recommended to me by the owner of my used book store (I call it mine, because that is where I go). I was skeptical, come to find out, I had already purchased the first book at a used book sale for the library. Needless to say, I should have started the book much sooner. Fantastic! I think I read them all in 3 weeks. I love the characters! I am very excited for the next book to come out, I was unconvinced that #6 was the last. It wasn't ended like a series is supposed to be. Very!
