    Anyone read Artemis Fowl? It's about a 12-year old (14 in the latest book) Irish criminal mastermind. In the first set of books, he creates schemes (illegal of course) to get funding to search for his long lost father. He must keep these schemes secret from his mother, who naturally wouldn't approve of such criminal acts.

    The main character, Artemis Fowl himself, was very well done. He's mysterious, you don't know what's going on through the kid's head unless the narrator states it. Yet at the same time the author managed to do it in a very non-cliche way. Brilliant!

    The story has a touch of fantasy in that there are a "magic" race living below ground. Called fairies, but they're not the traditional wand-in-hand-cure-all-your-Heart-Containers type of fairy, so don't worry about that. But I'm sick of writing so I'll let your figure out about it yourself.

    Anyway, to those of you who have read it, there's an Artemis Fowl movie coming out eventually. Not much info on it, truthfully, they just say they're working on it. o.o

        A movie you say? Better not flop.

        Books are alright, i would say No.3 is the best IMO.

          I'm about 3/4s done with the last book, The Opal Deception. It's pretty good, although I don't know which Artemis is my favorite at this point. XP

          As for the movie, it's been confirmed that someone is going to MAKE one, but it would seem they haven't casted anybody yet.

            Artemis, whee! I love these books, but i didn't read 4th yet (i didn't even know it's out :P)
            IMO The Arctic Incident is best. I love the part in Opal's lab

              I've read the books, but I had no idea there was a movie coming out! When?

                I've read all of them but I think I prefered the earlier ones to more recent ones. I didn't know there was going to be a film. I hope it does well!

                  Like I said, the film dudes haven't even released who casts in the film. I think it's safe to say the movie won't be out for a while.

                    There are too many book movies. Whatever happened to original ideas?

                        I think that number one is the best. I like how smart and cunning Artemis is. In the rest he is a bit too compasionate for me. I didn't like number 4 much. I think that as the books go on they start too get duller.

                          I liked number one the best too. The rest seem like they strectched the story. Sequels were unnecessary.

                            I do have all three books, but I still haven't finished part 2. It's kinda boring actually. Part 1 was good, but it was a few years back since I last read it. I'll try finishing part 2, just to see if No. 3 is better.

                              Personally I think that the 2nd book is better than the 3rd. That's only my opinion though. You might not end up feeling the same way.

                                I like the 3rd better than the 2nd, but the 4th just sucked and the 1st was the best.

                                  I thought that Commander Root getting killed off in the 4th book was a bit pointless. Overall the book was okay but pretty poor compared to what came before.

                                      Is there any information about the movie? I hadn't heard that there was going to be one until I read this topic.

                                        Nothing.

                                        We've got nothing on it so far, except that it is directed by Larry Guterman (director of Cats and Dogs and Son of the Mask), produced by Jane Rosenthal and Robert De Niro, and distributed by Miramax. Nothing on the cast or anything fun.

                                          Oh boy, a crappy director. Both of his former movies didn't just suck, they shouldn't have been made. We're in for it now.

                                            I wouldn't know I haven't seen either of the films. I think you should wait for the end product before you say if it will be good or not. Maybe he will have improved if the other two movies he made were so bad.

                                              I hope so, but Son of the Mask was so bad, I can't get my hopes too high.

                                                Not much info has been realesed but i'm physced about Butler's actor. If anyone cares he was the transprter in The Transporter 1 and 2, both of which rocked. I'd check back on that site, they know their stuff.

                                                  I saw that site but decided not to post about it at the time since the only actor they had decided on was Foaly.

                                                  Looks like they got a decent guy for Butler. Although, I haven't really heard anything about any of that guys movies, I'll admit.

                                                    I've never heard of the guy whos going to play Butler but he looks right for the part.
                                                    I feel sorry for the kid they had picked. Unfortunate that he got too old to play the part!

                                                      I just finished Book 4, first of all, thank you Me111 for ruining the death of Root for me, but anyways, it was all right, but if they make another book, it would be VERY pointless.

                                                        Yeah maybe I should have put some sort of spoiler warning by it.
                                                        I doubt a fifth book would be made. I think that the 4th book wasn't great and they should have left it at 3.

                                                          If they do make a fifth one it will ruin the series, and they didn't really have a definitive ending in four. So it's open-ended for a fifth

                                                            It was the best of the 4.

                                                                                    By the way, the "little" book you were referring to, that is "The Wish List", correct?

                                                                                        Nope. The Wish List is another book by Eoin Colfer but it's not part of the Artemis Fowl Series.
                                                                                        I meant the book that was written for World Book day, which was called Artemis Fowl: The Seventh Dwarf. It's only about 50 or 60 pages.

I didn't like it too much, the weird factor was a little too big there.
