halucinagenia mutant hedgehog worm Member	Posted Hide Post They are good for a laugh but not up to the same standard as Rowling or pullman a bit better than nancy drew though but do remember they are targeted at children the 1st one is the best and really is a fun concept and a laugh out loud book

jak What fruit bat? Member	Posted Hide Post i only read the first one. i enjoyed it, but only to a certain extent. it is very much written towards children (as opposed to, say, Harry Potter, or the Princess Bride, in which you, or me, at least, barely notice that it is written for children.) ___________________________ Math=applesauce "But what would you do with a brain if you had one?" -Wizard of Oz stargazing

JuJuSnap Member	Posted Hide Post I agree. The Fowl series is much more geared toward a children audience. That said, they are good for a light, breezy read. Books 1 and 3 were the best in my opinion. The 2nd one was strangely dull.

Posted Hide Post I think i've only read the first two, I know the third is kicking around my house...or maybe that's the forth. they were rather amusing though. for some reason I always thought of Artemis as a slightly older, less insane version of Stewie from Family Guy....

halucinagenia mutant hedgehog worm Member	Posted Hide Post I can reccomend The Supernaturalist, it was a surprisingly good read and very different from he artemis foul books, well its Sci Fi rather than fantasy for a start. Though yet again a book geared towards children and young adults.
