Artemis Fowl is a series of fantasy novels written by Irish author Eoin Colfer, starring the teenage criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl II. The series is written in half-serious language, alternating dark moments with humorous ones, a style favored by a number of popular children's authors, including J. K. Rowling (Harry Potter) and Roald Dahl (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory). Artemis, the main character, is a ruthless and extremely intelligent young criminal whose main goal is the acquisition of money through a variety of often illegal schemes (although his values change towards the 5th book). The author summed up the series as: "Die Hard with fairies."[1] There are six novels in the series; the first was published in 2001 and the sixth released in the United States on July 15, 2008. A film based on the series is also in development, although the release date is unclear. Eoin Colfer has stated, jokingly, that the movie will be released "about two weeks after I die". |
