I belive that the Artemis series tanked after the 5th book.
Eion Colifer did write a good book, The Supernaturalists though.

I thought the 4th and 5th books in the Artemis Fowl series were pretty good, but the 6th book was just awful. I haven't yet read the latest one, but I'll probably grab it from the library next time it's there.

The Supernaturalist was an excellent book, though.

I really liked the 6th book. Why did you think it was awful?

For The TIme Paradox, the plot just didn't make any sense. Even ignoring the title paradox,which can be waved away as "it's a paradox, it doesn't have to make sense" there was absolutely no reason why Artemis had to go back to the moment when there was only one lemur left. For a kid who's super smart, you'd figure he would have thought to go back in time to when the species was NOT critically endangered. The entire plot felt incredibly contrived, and it felt ridiculous when we got to the society of a people who enjoy nothing more than killing and wearing extremely endangered species. That was just dumb.

I was refering to the Atlantis Complex, the latest book. the story goes a little overboard when (for all those who have not read the book please look away) Artemis developes two personalities, confesses his true emotions and tries to do some good.

I agree. Its not as good as the other books.

My favorite book:

The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down by Anne Fadiman

It's absolutely fascinating. Culture, medicine, biography.... all in one. Truly, it's one of the best books I've ever read.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series

I liked P&P, but Romeo and Juliet was dumb. I hated that play so much.

Um, no. You don't call Shakespeare "dumb".

Really? I personally loved that play. I was so obsessed I watched the anime and read the play. I had to read it plain because somehow all the cliff notes disappeared. XD

Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, Tokyo Babylon & xxHolic by CLAMP and The Long Walk by Stephen King. CLAMP writes such good stories!! -[anime fan mode]-
~Just wondering, but does anyone else read CLAMP?~
