Wow. I was walking by the bookstore and all of a sudden I saw artemis fowl in the window, and ti was the FOURTH book in the series. I didn't know that Eoin Colfer was going to write another. has anyone else read these books? I bought the fourth but have yet to start it. I like this series more than I do Harry Poter, but Harry Potter is still a most fanciful and wonderful tale. The books are about a 13 year old male in a foreign country who is associated with the mafia. His father was kidnapped by another mafia, and they believed him to be dead. Artemis (the young boy) Fowl's mother is medically insane, and dances around with air pretending that his father is still home. Now, here's the twist. Artemis finds the secret race of faerie's and elves deep below the surface, and cons them into helping him with crime. This is like nothing ever written. It is engaging from the start, and is worthy of a four book run. Give me your thoughts on this one.

 I saw the first book at Borders and I was planning on getting it, but now that you actually explained what it was about, I don't think I would be interested now. I don't like things that are THAT fictional and sci-fi sort of things. I mean, faeries and elves?... |

Yea, I've read all four of them, and it's okay when you compare it to Harry Potter. I liked them alot. I wonder it there's another one coming out because the 4th one has been out for awhile.

I thought Artemis Fowl was pretty hot, lol. But I got bored with all the trolls and stuff. It was just too weird.
