Artemis Fowl
In the downtime before the appearance of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, after Red and I had picked through all the Diana Wynne Jones in the library, we picked up Artemis Fowl. Red had heard of it; it's the first book in a popular children's series. The author, Eoin Colfer, has apparently described it as his attempt to do "Die Hard with fairies". Alas, it's more like Die Hard II: a deeply cynical, deeply lazy effort that demonstrates a withering contempt for the intelligence of its readers. Artemis Fowl is a child genius, a master criminal. His father has been lost; his mother is mad; he, with his faithful butler, Butler (in a sign of bad things to come, Colfer tells us that the word "butler" derives from the name of Butler's family; the opposite explanation -- that Butler's family had been serving the Fowls since before surnames -- would have made it a clever touch rather than simply dumb), is bent on looting fairy gold. And therein lies a problem. I am happy to read a book about a Moriartyish or Luthorian twelve-year-old supervillain. I am less happy to read a book about said twelve-year-old doing battle with the Little Folk. A rule of thumb for genre literature is that you get one major suspension of belief per novel. Young genius Fowl plus highly technologically developed fairy society is two, possibly three. Given a well-plotted novel full of fascinating characters and shimmering prose, I might not kick, but Artemis Fowl struck me, as I said, as deeply lazy. A good chunk of the early book is devoted to Fowl's decoding of the mysterious book that all fairies must keep hidden from mortals. We are told that the language it's in resembles Egyptian. (Which Egyptian? That of "Tutankhamen's inner-chamber hieroglyphics." Uh-huh.) But the script as depicted in the book looks absolutely nothing like hieroglyphics, and it's not a language. It's a simple substitution cipher. Did Colfer assume that nobody would notice? Or did he think that kids would have a good enough time drawing up the chart of which symbol replaces which letter that he didn't need to come up with a better explanation? Similarly, the ending -- the ending towards which Fowl has been driving all the other characters, safe in his knowledge that he has one great trick up his sleeve which will turn the tables on his opponents -- feels dropped in out of nowhere (and from a great height, possibly from orbit). If Die Hard's climax had featured Bruce Willis calling in a SWAT team that hadn't appeared in the movie previously, I'd've resented that, too. J.K. Rowling has her problems as a writer, and I sometimes feel as if she's just going through the motions or hasn't bothered thinking through her plot, but I never feel as though she cheats. Good villains cheat; good books don't. I'll take a cartoonish Voldemort over a deux ex machine-wielding Fowl any day, thank you.
thanks for doing the legwork; i'd suspected that mr fowl would not be worth the effort and i'm glad to have that confirmed. surely you've read the "his dark materials" trilogy, yes? (i think we've discussed it, but in case your vast legions of readers have not, they should...)
My least favorite part -- though I gave up early, so there might have been plenty of many worse parts later on -- also related to the translation effort. After lots of discussion of how Artemis (and why is this male person (who spends lots of time reading up on mythology but never runs into this question for himself, as far as we know) named Artemis? who knows?) uses state-of-the-art translation software to crack the fairy language, the results don't look a damn thing like machine translation. They rhyme, horribly. They feature the workd "magic" spelled "magick." Ew ugh. Insulting and boring. Bah humbug.
Personally, I loved this book. I too have read the works of Dianna Wynne Jones and others. However, Artemis Fowl strikes me as being a lot closer to the Young Wizards series by Diane Duane then anything else I've read. There is the magical aspect of the world of the book, and the scientific.
The book only states that some of the language's charecters resemble hieroglyphics. Not all of them. The cipher struck me as simply something for fun. Nothing more.
The ending never seemed sudden or contrived to me. If you look elsewhere in the book, it mentions his mother disappearing from her room. But most people don't catch that until they have read it a second time. And even Fowl admits some things went wrong.
I agree about the explanation for Butler's name. Not a very researched explanation. Wish he had taken a little more time to look at the etymology of the name. That might have helped.
The name. Artemis himself explains it in the third book. Though it is the name of the greek goddess of archery and the moon, there have been males who have carried the name. Most females who bore the name had letters added onto the end as in the case of Artemisia (A sister of a Persian king).
Though it has it's weak points, I must disagree. I think Artemis Fowl and it's sequels are good books.
Young Wizards being the series including So You Want to Be a Wizard and Deep Wizardry, Rhiannon? Interesting -- I haven't read those in quite some time (since I was an actual kid, in fact), but I remember the characters seeming much more credibly than Artemis and Co. Part of it might simply be that it's pitched at a slightly younger audience than, say, His Dark Materials or the Harry Potter, but it just seemed so very... flat. And calculated. If I get a chance, I'll dip back into the Duane series this summer and let you know what I think.
(And my complaint with the ending wasn't about his mother; it was the method Artemis has devised to get around the fairy Unstoppable Death Ray. Could a reader have guessed that that would be Artemis' plan? In retrospect, was it obvious that it would work? I vote no on both counts. Demand more out of your evil geniuses! Their plans should be clockwork perfect, only to be foiled by the hero's one unexpected response.)
ok, just for REDFOX's info, in Greek mythology, Artemis was a female hunter goddess, correct. however, if a male hunter ever came along good enough, he'd been given that name(which you'd know if you'd read A.Fowl#3) and another thing, magick is a more proper(perhaps European) spelling than magic, so HA!!
You know what? I think all those glitches in the book, like the Butler name thing and the heiroglyphic comparison to fairy Gnomish, was put in there on purpose to make kids think and notice it. They do that in movies, you know. It's a psychological thing so you don't get too caught up and the grey area between your imagination and your knowledge of reality doesn't think its real.
OK...some of you guys are retarded....the name butler COMES from him being Artemis' butler and hey steve...i dont think the author wantsyou to know what is going to happen AT THE END of the book! of course he will give unexpected twists....and in the book it even said that not all the letters were in the egytian hieroglyphics...Artemis SAID that he needed to look at the closely related symbol and use that....and just like other people have written...the name Artemis is a greek goddess, but as explained in book 3....if a male comes around who is a great hunter, then he too can have the name Artemis in respect and to show his skill....it might not sound fitting until u read the third book...where , at the end, he tells jon spiro that he HUNTED him...and thats why hes named Artemis...there is a more specific explanation in the book, but i dont feel like typing it....i want u fruits to read it.
if a male comes around who is a great hunter, then he too can have the name Artemis in respect and to show his skill
I see no evidence of this in the mythology. Perhaps he would have better taken his Roman name, Diana?
i think that the artemis fowl series are GREAT books, and i'm not going to let SOMEONE else tell me what to think. i think that each book from the series are good, but i especially enjoyed the third book. Artemis is put under TREMENDOUS pressure, but none of you guys are able to notice it! stealing back the c cube away from one of the most SECURE vaults on earth AND knowing that his brain is gonna get wiped. if none of you guys like it, tough luck. you don't apprecheate good books when you see one.
well if you like a cartoon Voldemort than go have your Voldermort, i think that artemis fowl is a amazing piece of work. maybe it's because you are too dumb and retarted to understand the deep plot layers and hidden meanings plus the subtle hints. that's why you can appreciate it. since you are so stupid, i suggest you should start reading the ABCs picture books because they are made for people like you.
I think the Artemis Fowl books are great. esspecially book 3. My favorite part is when artemis tell's Jon Spiro he HUNTED HIM. And by the way thats why is name is artemis. this book is good for even the pickiest of readers.
this book is exellent
the dialouge (i like things that make me laugh)and plot twists (not knowing what he is going to do at the end)is what makes it so, not to mention the odd little quirks and coincidences
but please, feel free to express your opinions, no matter how uninformed they may be (obvously you have only read the first book)
there is a circle with a triangle and 3 circles on top of each other and a snail shaped sorta thing. wut is it?
okay, I only have one thing to say: Artemis is a lot smarter than me (and the auther is too for that matter) so there for, I gotta give him credit. Because I'm pretty smart *smirk* Anyway, I love the books because they're so funny and complicated.
The cipher in AF is a major mistake made by the publisher - it really should have symbols translate into words, letters and parts of letters instead of the symbol-letter system, which anyone can crack.
Have any of you mortals actually tried to decode or trabslate the lines across the bottom to see what they mean?
Now, that is a sick joke. "God" could have at least signed in as Zeus or something, you don't have to make fun of Him to get your kicks! And unlike most who signed in here, I LOVED those books, especially the third one. I can't wait until #4 comes out! I think Eoin Colfer said he's going to call it "Artemis Fowl:The Opal Deception". What might suck though is he also said Artemis might have a girlfriend. I don't want him to be just another smart guy who goes stupid because of some dumb girl(especially since she's obviously his age and therefore probably an idiot in comparison to him.)
I think that the AF books are great and yes i have deciphered the massage on the bottom of the book and personally i find the message quite interesting.and for you freaks who can`t realise a good book when you see one i think (as with many others)you shouldn`t have the right to read at all!
I can't break the encypted code in artemis fowl 3 there is a secret code encrypted in the cover does anyone know what it say's
On book one of Artemis Fowl there is a code or symbols on the bottom of the pages. Is there someplace on the internet to help one figure this out, or crack this code? Thanks
Well, o-not-so-omiscient-writer-of-reviews, Eoin didn't make up the symbols used for the code: some Eurpean professer-dude did. Ya boo to you!
I personally love the Artemis Fowl books, not only because the dialogue is hilarious, but also because they put forward the concept, slightly overused though it might be, that kids can be much, much smarter than adults- overused, but still the majority of adults believe that kids can be really smart, possibly because they weren't. Fairies may be overdone, but Eoin Colfer puts an interesting spin on them. He actually succeeds in making them far more interesting than the Harry Potter versions, which appear to cast them aside as rather dull. In short, Eoin Colfer took several slightly cliche and overused ideas, and made three bloody excellent books out of them. 'Nuff said.
ARTEMIS FOWL IS THE BEST BOOK IN THE WORLD!!!!!! WEATHER ITS UNDER GROUND WITH THE LEPrecons OR ON THE SURFACE WITH THE MUD MEN (SOMTHING U DIM MUD MEN WOULD NEVER COMPREHEND)HUMPH*
YOURS TRULY SARIA
I think this book rocks!!Well, maby the first book is the worst in the series but the other books are brillient compared to Harry Potter!The gnomish language doen't have to accurate, it's just a childrens book,I mean Harry Potter is written beter by a kin on the net than just JK Rowling.
I BET HALF YOU PEOPLE HERE HAVEN'T READ THE WHOLE SERIES, IF NOT THE FIRST BOOK! ANYWAY, YOU GUYS CAN'T TELL A GOOD BOOK IF IT HAD 'GOOD BOOK' PRINTED IN CAPITAL LETTERS ACROSS THE COVER!
LOVE mORiSOn
Oh my gosh if it will shut you up here is the link to the Eoin website. There you will find a link to the codes for the first two books. HAPPY NOW?!?!?!?!
Have you ever written a book? Im guessing no. because if you did then you would realize what it takes to produce a good piece of literature instead of trying to ridicule everyone elses attempts in a way to hide your jealousy. You definately could use a hobby.
I've read, Aretmis Fowl -All three of them- at least five times each. I've read the first one so many times I found a mistake, Colfer made. I've also figured out the gnomish code along the bottum of the pages in the first, Artemis Fowl book. The artemis fowl books are the only books I read, and are the best ever written. I only hope that, Colfer will write a forth to continue the excitement. The funnest books are the Artemis Fowl books, besides Artemis sounds like a total hottie. And holly is my favourite butt-kicker.
I really think Artemis Fowl Should be continued with a fourth book because These books are excellent. I love them. I am completly obsessed with these books, I am even think about making an Artemis Fowl Magazine.
Conor Ney
artemis Fowl is the greatest book ever written and so good that me and my mate have set about to read the encrypted messages
obviosly coffer made gnommish a code, not a new langede, if he did no one would be able to crack it, so what would be the point?
Also, before you critsis arthers, try writing youre own book, its harder then you think.
1- there is no 4th book, the treid ended the seris
2- a book is ether good or bad, there anre no worde to describe a tru work of art
3- Artiams fowl books anre good, but there not the ony good books in thins word, dont get so cought up on the ice cream you forget the pie.
4- the his dark materials triology rocks, so dous the givir, the lost years of merlan, nothing but the truth, and Enders Game
does anyone know the site for the code for the gnomish language? i figured out the code on the book but i lost the site. anyone noe the page for the code?
I luv artimis fowl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And all you critics out there,WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!
I have deciphered a bit of the book, and i'm wondering, what the heck is a phlegm pot? I jsut don't know....
Okay, basically a phlegm pot is exactly that. A pot in which a person spits phlegm into. By the way, phlegm's that gooey yellowy stuff that grows at the back of your throat sometimes. I know - very gross.
My opinion on the Fowl books - okay. They're the kind of books that you'd borrow off of a library, read it once, then shelve it back and won't think twice about. I'd give the series a 3 out of 5, i.e. average.
I am pondering how this conversation went from adult discussion of the balanced highs and lows of a book to tweenage bickering.
I think that on a whole the books were good, not exactly challenging material but it was written with the younger generation in mind and to that point it was effective.
I didnt like the code on the first or second book. The first, for the reason that it makes a mockery of the egyptian language and the second because it was just to close a match to our own when it was supposedly only remembered and understood by the centaurs (could be wrong on that bit. It's been a while since I have read the books).
I found the books enjoyable and the decoding a novel idea. There were only certain points (such as the third book with Artemis stating "I've hunted you") I found slightly degrading to the story as a whole but it was okay.
I'm not going to compare it to Harry Potter because I cannot understand the hype over those books; I found the writing to be rather poor.
on reading through this page i have seen many unjust and uninformed arguments, aswell as some immature name calling from people who cannot accept that everyone has a different opinion. I personally found the Artemis books page turning reads with a strong horoine for young readers to look up to.
HELLO! I LIKE ARTEMIS FOWL 3 BOOK.IS GOOD AND IS
FUNY.SORRY BUT I SPIIK FINISH AND I NO SPEEK ENGLIS VERRY LITTLE.
I've read all three books and found them interesting.
I'm 16, and found them easy to read, and I agree with one person's point that Artemis's solutions do seem to come from nowhere, but it's a cool surprise in my opinion, because that way it interests you to find out at the end what it actually is.
I have read works such as Lord of the Rings and am currently reading His Dark Materials, and I also love Harry Potter, but I hope anyone who reads this message and looks down on some of these choices of books doesn't look down on me and my opinions, they're just some of my favourite books, and Artemis Fowl is in there too.
I have also translated all the codes myself, which was good fun, and really are there just for extra fun to the book. Whether they are like the ancient heiroglyphics or not doesn't matter, IMO, because they are books written for a young audience that would find the thought of uncovering a secret message just for them is amazing.
In the first book there is a translation on about page 28 (but it might vary in books). Substituting one letter in Artemis's translation for a symbol is how it's done.
The Arctic Incident's code is simpler to crack, because the symbols *almost* look like the letters they represent. There is also a point in the book where the story follows Foaly and from what I can remember without the book in front of me, there is a poem about how the People had to go underground. On the book I had, this is the poem from the front cover of the book, so this can help you crack it too.
In The Eternity Code, on of the front pages where Colfer dedicates the book to out-laws and in-laws is the starting point to decipher the code.
Lol, hope that helps to anyone trying to crack the codes.
There's always comparisons to 'similar' genre books that have been written before, but IMO Artemis Fowl isn't a rip-off of the Harry Potter books, because fantasy wasn't created by JKR or Tolkein, it seems to have been around forever.
I have enjoyed really enjoyed reading and translating these books, they're fun books. Admittedly, I borrowed them from the library, but that doesn't mean I don't like them or don't think they're worth paying for, but my circumstances don't allow me to buy every book I want to read.
I do hope there is a fourth book, because I want to know what will happen now that Artemis has no memory of the People, and whether he'll get his memory back.
Once you've translated the Eternity Code you'll understand what I mean by this, but Artemis Fowl must find Mulch Diggums. ;)
Kudos to Eoin Colfer
I am sorry you feel that this book is bad. I happened to like it and I happen to like Harry Potter books as well. I know htere will be a fourth book to the Fowl books as I have read so on his websites. It will be out in the fall of 2004. This is my opion and I know we are all entitled to them. I accept yours, Please accept mine.
I, for one, liked the Artemis Fowl book a lot. I hear the second and third ones are very well written too, and I hope to snatch them from a friend sometime. Quite personally, I liked the intriguing combination of reality and fantasy, which are my two favorite aspects of a book. And, just to tell you if some of this sounds weird/confusing, I'm only thirteen.
I've only read the first one, and, admittedly, I only read it for a school project, but I overly enjoyed the book. I love the thought ut into the characters, and how Artemis sounds like a complete criminal, but it shows that sometimes he loses his cool and the little boy that he IS shows through. Though, one of my goals in the project was to get pages for the character's descriptions and had fun trying ^^
Also, another thing that I found interesting was how much research he put into the sites and scenery. Ho Chi Minh City was where my mother was born, and if I give her the first chapter, she can remember all the streets and alleyways he mentioned.
Also, the twists to old folk tales is one of the things I love to do also (being a bit of a writer myself). I love how he makes all the old fairy tales twists to match what is going on today, and makes the possibility of magic seem almost real.
Also, the coding, I found it very amusing. I've been meaning to decode the language and add it to my title page for the project ^^
Lastly, I admire how much the author knows about how much we are polluting our earth. One thing I've learned by writing is that the story reflects only as much as the writer knows. That's all I can talk about right now... I hope you didn't mind reading through all of this.
Also, all that bickering about the books and such was a bit childish (IMHO, of course) and hope you guys can accept that it's alright to like different things. I also loved His Dark Materials, The Giver, and a personal favourite of mine is The ousiders, by S.E. Hinton.
I'm having trouble with the code, but for everyone who didn't like the books, did you even read all of them? Probably not but if you did you have bad taste and I'm wondering why you even came to this site! Dought you had a reason! Peace!
Personally, I thinks its brilliant. ALOT better than Wynne-Jones and all that rubbish. Its alot more closer to reality and just the basic plot lines are fantastic. Please, dont leave that first review up the top there, for all those first-impression readers. People should be able to give it a try.
(And also; the 'magick' thing? Get over it. Ive read worse)
Oh, and by the way?
People can have different points of view.
Get used to it :D
I think that Aty is so sexy
i think the Artemis Fowl series are excellent and well written. Eoin Colfer said that he is writing a fourth book called Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception and is also writing two other books called The Legend of Spud Murphy and some book called The Supernaturalist, but i hope that he comes out with the fourth book of the Artemis Fowl series very soon
I think artemis is the best book ever, you must be mad not to like it!!!!
Um,has any one read old magic? It's amazing. Diana wynne jones's books are sooooooo boring!
Will U lot stop critising artemis fowl? They're the best books ever full stop, no question about it. just accept that and get on with life rather than siting arguing, about how good a book is!
do any of you all know wut the code on the front cover of eternity code is and what it means?
dear eoin colfer
i love your artemis fowl books i head that you are writing a fouth artemis fowl book is this true?
Hey people who dont like Artemis Fowl. STAY out cause this is for people who like it not for people who dont. So keep you comments to your self and go post your feelings somewhere else. And if anybody needs help cracking the code just ask me :) i cracked them all. Took me a while but i did it. And you really want to know what The 3rd one says. REALLY!!!!!!!
I love the books. Maybe its just me. Maybe the people reading the books and dont like them are taking them too seriously.Not all books need to be analysed and picked over and closely scrutinised, looking for faults. Sit back, relax, and actually enjoy a book once and a while without logging onto its fan site and slagging it.
Can someone please help me to understand the code for book 3? im really stuck and have exhausted all my ideas.
Thanks,
jr. journalist
I luv the artemis fowl book and people are allowed to have their own opinion of things in case you people didnt know. by the way wot exactly does it say when you crack the codes? is there a website that gives you the messages or is someone kind enough to tell me the actual messages?
Hello!
Well, I personally liked the books very much, because the caracters are fascinating (please excuse the writng, I'm fourteen and live in Germany). I read the comments of the "Anti-Fowls", and respect their decicions. But I can't understand, why one should go around spiting (sometimes really uninformed) comments and therefor stamping out all the fun children could have with this book. For things musnt always be explaineble. At least not in a childrens book. By saying all these things, you could easily imagine the sort of person sitting on the other end of the net tipping this: Someone who does not read for pleasure, but to boast about with all sorts of critical issues trying to seem smart. Maybe these people should look past every little mistake wich can possibly be found, and try to reconize the message this book is trying to give us: People CAN make mistakes (even authers, thoug some persons do not agree with that), and that things can still turn out well. I just wonder, why they go around making such wonderfully "smart" comments about a childrens book, from wich they do not think is worth reading. Maybe they just do it, because people like these are clearly incapabel of understanding anything more difficult, or they are enerving now-it-alls, that have to comment everything, even if they havent read the book, or these poor souls have been critizised so often that they dont have the power to give credit to anything anymore, or they are people that stand around on fancy dinner-partys and talk about the reason of live, with such wonderfull chosing of words, that nobody can really understand the meaning (even if they really had an oppinion to this so "vulgär" theme),or, or , or,...I admit, that there can be some truth in what these morons are saying, but I can not see it,and dont think its all that important, for were not talking about Mc Beth or Hamlet. Ciao!
Uhm, just one more thing: Is it true that Colfer said Atremis is going to have a girlfriend?!?!?!
BYE

wow. at the time being, all i can say is wow. Im not writing this piece to make waves, im writing it to do the opposite. To me, some of you are making perfect sense, yet oh so many others have gotten lost in petty arguments, minor flaws, and the fact that every one has an opinion. Those of you against the book, good for you. Those of you who love the book, good for you. Those of you trying with ceaseless effort to change the minds of others, one way or the other, shame. Take a step back from all the analyzing, take a step back from trying to defend this book. Realize that it is ONLY A BOOK. I absolutley refuse to reveal whether or not i liked the book. Im not here to pick a side, i wrote this to MAKE a side. Some of you may agree with me, and to those that don't, i won't try to change your mind. As you may have guessed, i am somewhat of a writer myself, and placing myself in Eoin Colfer's shoes and reading some of the comments here, I would feel flattered. The fact that a single book can bring about such controversy, such emotion is simply astonishing. I don't want you to take my side, I want you to make your own. I want you to create your OWN opinion. A variaty of opinions on this site would make it seem much more than what it currently is, an argument similar to those of 6 year olds.
-Dru-
holy freakin crap, some people got too much time on their hands, soon all your going to think about is this shity book, then your entire sex life is going to be you and your partner role playing artemis. its a god damn book read enjoy it, hate it dont start a cult behind it
What does the code say at the bottom of the pages in the first book????
well roberto, you wanted it, you got it.
i have decoded the text at the bottom of the pages and i have it all righ here, and if you would rather still figure it out for your self, do not read any furthur.

..CODE DECRIPTION
the prophecies of ohm, phlegm pot cleaner to frond, elfen king. I am ohm, phlegm pot cleaner to the king, but i am much more than that, for i see the future written in the phlegm. for centuries we pixies have reas the phlegm, but i am the best there has evr ben. (evr, ben, se, are not spelling errors, there are rarely any silent e's in the gnommish language.) my visions are generally of little importance. i foretell outbreaks of troll pox or gas spasms among elderly dwarfs. but sometimes even a poor pot cleaner can se wonderous things. a vision came to me two moons ago when i was gazing dep into his majestys owl phlegm pot. i was heating the pot over a flame when the sign appeared. this vision was more vivid and detailed than any i had previously sen. becauseof its importace i decided to write it down for posterity and so i can say i told you so. i saw an age when the people have ben driven underground by the mud men. this is what the phlegm told me. in this time one shall come among us. fowl be name and foul by nature. a mud man unlike any other. he shall lharn (learn) our secrets and use them against us. i se him now as plain as day. his face is pale e has dark eyes and raven hair. yet it must be a mistake for he sems a mere yauth (youth). surely no mud boy could outwit the people. but now i se that the boy is notalone. he is aided by a formidable warrior, scarred from a thousand battles. this fowl shall hold the the people to ransom for their most precious possesion. gold. and in spite of all our MAGIC (not MAGICK) there is a chance that he will prevail. for he has discovered how to escape the timefield. unfortunately how the story ends i cannot say. but there was more to se. there is another story to come. someone will bring the people and mud men together. the worst of both races. this fairys goal is to grind all the creatures of the earth beneath his boot.and who is this traitor, it is not clear. but he shall start a war unlike anything the people have evr (ever) sen (seen). Those who were enemies shall be unifid (unified) against tim (time). And for the first tim (time) there will be mud men below ground. I have one clue to his identity, a riddle. Goblins shall rise and haven shall fall, a villainous elf is behind it all, to find the one who so disappoints, look ye to where the finger points. Instead of one face, this elf has two. Both speak false abd none speak true. While publicly he lends a helping hand, his true aim is to seize command. I know. Its not very plain is it, I dont understand either. But perhaps in the future all will become clear. Look for a powerhungry elf who has a finger pointed at him during our tale. And so, this is ohm's legacy. A warning that may save the world from total destruction. There's not much more to work with I know. The details are a bit sketchy. My advice to you is to consult the phlegm. it may be that you are sensitive. I have buried this prophecy with my phlegm pot. If you are not fortunate enough to work as a pot cleaner, then there is usually a supply of phlegm evry (every) tim (time) you have a cold. Herendeth (here ends) the first prophecies of ohm. but because of the importance of my visions I shall repet (repeat) the prophecies once more. If you have just begun to understand the text, then read on. If you have worked out hte entire message then congradulations. Now go and save the world.
End.
well, thats it, artemis fowl, book one, decoded. After the last sentance, it simply repeats the rest of the code over again. P.S. above in ohms riddle (italics) its not suppsed to be "abd" its supposed to be and.
well i have decoded the symbols. I've recorded them. I can read the language easily now. But all in all a good book
you know, peacemaker has a point, i actually quite liked the book, but it isnt something i woulld fight about. i thought it was great, but if you didnt, thats ok too. :)
dear eoin colfer i heard that you are writing a fifth artemis fowl book in june 2005.
can anyone give me a clue to how to find the message on the cover of the eternity code? thanx.
yes i can see those charters at the bottem of front page they are the messege you need to decode it. ps bye artemis.
good to see you again
hee hee hee hahaha!!! artemis fowl is weird(wierd? this word is weird)
Artemis fowl is a trouble maker with a bodyguard

I love the Artemis Fowl books! I am happy i found this site because i like to know what other people think about these books. I know a few people who hate the book so i understand why you guys do, but i personally couldn't put the book down after the first page!

ok, i don't know what book you read, but it is obviously not the same as what i read. fair enough thats your opion and i respect that, but if you hadn't relised it is a kids book. the code the bottom, in my opion is just something for fun. I personly loved the books, and think he is a great writer. I also thin that it was a great plot and i loved all three. but i guess everyone has their own opion about books, and likes different authors and styles of writting, but i don't know if anyone else has tolod you this but if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all.
Hey
I love the Artemis Fowl books. I thought they were absolutly fabulous and would recomend them to my friends(excuse me if my typing is a little bad,I am only 10!). I have a question acout the second book. Where is the code on it? As I was saying I love the books and I am also a hudge fan of Harry Potter and the Merlin series, but fankly I am a little dissapointed about what I have been hearing on here. I mean I am just a kid and I know some of you are probably adults, but you are acting like you are at least five years my jouiner, I mean come on people! This is sopposed to be so we can say how much we liked the Artemis Fowl series, not so that we can make a big deal out of it and make arguments! I can'wait until the Artemis Fowl movie comes out, or until the third Harry Potter movie comes out, so I probably have different oppionions than you, but every body is entilted to their own oppionions and that we should'nt fight just because we don't like each others oppions, so i think that this argument should be broke up while it still can. If anyone would like to make comments on what I just said, go right on ahead.
does anybody know the c cube language
if u dont know what im talking about then u probaly live in the US
JUST ANOTHER UP DATE AT THE MOMENT IM WRITING A BOOK ABOUT JIMI KITCHENER IM KEEPING THE PLOT QUIET AT THE MOMENET BUT ITS GOING TO BE ATREAT SO PASS IT ON PUT IT ON THE INTERNET IM CHOOSING PEOPLE TO COME AND SEE HIM IN LOWESTOFF AND GET HIS AUTOGRAGH PLUS YOU GET TO STAY IN A 4 STAR HOTLE![WOW]
To CHRIS LONG
the front cover of da 3rd book code says:
Think Fairy Think Again.
thats all i noe tho it took me like. 2 hrs to figure it out^-^
I agree. The book has too many paradoxs. The one thing I admire about the book's series the most is Artemis Fowl. (Still, he's a paradox, for the most part).
For the most part, the series is good for teachers and Eoin Colfer (who is also a teacher).
The whole Artemis Fowl series (rhetoricaly) is a teacher's dream to brainwash the smartest kid (well, a very smart one anyway) to be powerless (a.k.a money is bad).
Still I like Artemis Fowl (the character).
I even found a song that resembles the first book (a.k.a conflict between holy/the people and Artemis Fowl)
The lyrics and link to hear the song as followed:
*********Manipulate by Freezepop*********
you tell just half the truth
you're pulling strings and pushing buttons
wheels are turning in your head
i know that you are up to something
in your mind a plan is hatching
behind your innocent disguise
you know i'm onto you
so you won't look me in the eyes
you are a mastermind - manipulate
it's all by your design - manipulate
you think that i am blind - manipulate
but i'm not far behind
you know just what you want
you know just how to get it
you are far too devious
you're clever though, i must admit it
you've got that killer instinct
you do what must be done
you've got your own agenda
you're looking out for number one
you are a mastermind - manipulate
it's all by your design - manipulate
you think that i am blind - manipulate
but I'm not far behind
I'm not perfect, i've done it too
but not nearly as much as you
as much as you
you are a mastermind - manipulate
it's all by your design - manipulate

Sir, (you with the screen name of Eoin Colfer) I seriously doubt you are Eoin Colfer.
Hello. This is for Eoin. I was wondering, where were the movie auditions and when is it likely it should be coming out?
I really love all three of the A.F books,but I still think that the Harry potter books ARE THE BEST.
I think that the artemis fowl books are brill and anyone who thinks that HP is better probably doesn't have 2 brain cells to rub together. And my IQ is 155 so I should know. (No, im not lying, ive had it tested.)
Personally I loved all the Artemis Fowls and I have also read every single DIana Wynn Jones in existance and Diana DUane!! They are all awesome, and I totally agree it would suck if Artemis Fowl had a girlfriend, but knowing him, it would probably be in his abnormal state (good) and she would probably be a. rich b. have good connections or c. smart like genius. THis would totally suck, and I hope that he doesn't make it when Artemis FOwl is 18 because the whole beauty of it is that he is 13, plus I asked Eoin Colfer, he came to my bookstore, and he said that Artemis Fowl may not regain his memories!!! TO support this is the fact that in the first book, it says A fight between Artemis Fowl and the fairies stretched across several decades. I also think that Artemis Fowl is going to blush in this book. Dont ask why, can you imagine him blushing, (In his normal state: evil) it would totally crack me up.

God. Do you people REALLY think Eoin Colfer would post here and tell you about how he's going to cast some unknown fanboy for the movie? And do you think that an AUTHOR would type completely in capitals?
You want to know the hidden code in artemis fowl?
You want to know the secret language in artemis fowl? go to this website of eoin colfer.
http://homepage.eircom.net/~eoincolfer65/Codes.htm
It has the codes.just copy this URL in your address box and go on this website.
Did you crack the code at the bottom of the pages in artemis fowl books? It tells what will happen next in the story. artemis fowl{the first book in series}has different language than artemis fowl:arctic incident. you can find both codes at this address.
http://homepage.eircom.net/~eoincolfer65/Codes.htm
I'm an owner of the American edition of AF#3. Could anyone who owns the other version please scan the symbols at the bottom and the symbols on the dedication page? Send it to my e-mail if you will. I like cracking the codes on my own.
P.S.(at least on the American edition): The code on the front says, "The boy is in trouble" twice.
Oh, by the way, the Artemis Fowl books are great. I look forward to sequels.
(hopefully I get ones with codes. I have deciphered the first two books)
if you look on the internet you can find the cracked codes
On the matter of the fairy society:
Did it occur to anyone that a society like The People’s COULD NOT exist in FICTION? (It’s not logical, for a magical book) The fairies have this judicial system and 'government' that’s based off something like capitalism…wait. did anyone realize that it's like an American government and mostly like Capitalism? and wait… wasn’t our government based on the bible? And the bible on a monotheistic religion (Judaism, the US government took some of the ten commandments from the bible)...And the fairies have a polytheistic religion!!!
The People have things like ‘do not kill, do not commit adultery (I’m assuming this as the lower elements aren’t in total chaos), ’
Only a very religious society can exist on the verge of anarchy! And look at The People’s book! It’s by some fairy that cleaned phlegm pots!
But you say: It’s a magical book. Yes, it’s a magical book. But fantasy books can be logical too! Look at LOTR! The magic of the elves isn’t logic (obviously it is fantasy not sci-fi) but, the societies are based off REAL societies (a.k.a the hobbits are the British)…
In conclusion: Artemis Fowl is for stupid people, it’s a paradoxal book by a power hungry teacher! It is only a paradoxal action ‘flick’ (to say it in movie terms)…With a paradoxal lead character who if wasn’t a paradox could be a really interesting and cool character…
The cover of the first book translates to:
Carry me always
Carry me well
I am thy teacher
Of herb and spell.
There is also a tiny piece on the cover of book two translating in the word "Fowl"
The code running along the bottom of the first book gives a hint of what is to come in the second book. It is the prophocies of Ohm Phlegm Pot (Who thought of this name???). The code doesn't actually take up the entire book. It repeats itself about 2.5 times. If you want a translating key I suggest that you visit Eoin Colfer's website.
Personally this series is one of my favourite's and to those who criticize the book - read the whole series. The truth hurts.
Artimis Fowl is a really gr8 seris if you dont like it then obiously your mind is so incomplex that you probably have to tie your shoes by making a bunny go into its hole. I fell that you probably shouldnt even write about books because obiously you dont under stand them i like harry potter and Artimis. Now your gonna say that the lord of the rings had a stupid plot. maybe next time you should wait until a book gets turned into a movie before your BRAIN EXPLODES
PS movies are the little things that come on the screen at movie theaters
PSS movie theaters are the place you pay to see movies on a big screen
I'm a totall Artemis fan. I'm on everyday looking for news about the movie, but so far it's not . I did hear that Cameron Diaz might be in the cast though., as Holly.
Who think's Tom Felton should play Artemis? I do. He's perfect.
As for the release date of 7/22/04, that's entirly possible, though I think it'll be later in the summer. On tribute.ca it said only 'Summer 2004'.
The director is Lawrence Guterman, producers is Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal. Screenplay is done by John Stockwell.
The fimling of the movie, which was supposed to be done in Ireland, was delayed 'cause of exchange rates. Now there's news that the filming was CANCLED and there may not even BE a movie coming out!
I also heard that the movie was supposed to begin filming September or October LAST YEAR. All the imformation is so mixed up it's driving me crazy
By the way, the next book is called 'The Artemis Fowl Files' (on Amazon.ca, com, uk) or 'The Seventh Dwarf' (Eoin's personal site). None of these stupid Windmill things.
There you go. Happy? *grins*
Sry but the Artemis FOwl Files are not the 4th book, they are a collection of two short stories: The Seventh Dwarf (already published in England) and the story of how Holly got transfered to Recon. Sorry to disapoint you.
i luved the AF books they were great except i still don't get what the code is on the cover of AF # 3 arg can someone help??
_______
www.elro.tk games, fun, free e-mail and more!!
i still don't get what the code is on the cover of AF # 3 arg can someone help?? Is there going to be a 4th Af?? please answer by posting on the www.elro.tk guestbook
Yes there will be, a fourth Eoin COlfer came to my bookstore and he said there will be
I have read, probably, about a thousand chapter books in my time, and not one of them can even be compared to the Artemis Fowl series.It's
complexity , Humor,feeling, and love, is so perfect, I've read each more than 3 times. These books are absolutely, and completly, **sighes**, Great,Wow,Wonderful,Fantastic.They are also so increibly creative. Their whole idea, and shape, is so, so, beautiful, it keeps me reading for hours. God, I love those books.
Thank you all for your encouraging comments reguarding my book, Artemis Fowl
-Eoin Colfer
I just feel that Eoin Colfer lacks something. He just drops this bomb like "hey there's this character..." Like I'm supposed to know who Holly is immediately. Bottom line: He lacks introduction.
But the whole thing about Artemis being a twelve year old genius is genius.
They say the title of the fourth book is "The Opal Deception". I've heard too many rumors, but this one seems to be quite widespread around the Artemis Fowl community.
I can HARDLY wait for The Supernaturalist and the Artemis Fowl Files to come out. I just bought "The Wish List", which was excellent, and I love Mr. Colfer's writing style.
I wish they'd release a little more info about the movie...and auditions, if any...*points to e-mail* Let me know if you guys know anything, I'm just curious as to whether they've finished casting for the part of a Miss Juliet Butler...
*pokes itdoesntmatter* That's just part of his writing style. Of course, whenever authors write books, they'll never expect you to know you their characters are, unless you're some super-psychic person with supernatural fore-telling powers, which is highly unlikely. They have to find a subtle way to bring characters into a story, and make it seem like the story is actually happening, not like the characters are actually in a story.
That's his own way of introducing the characters. You can't be too formal about it. You wouldn't want something like: "This is Holly Short, gender: female, species: fairy, height: 3'4", weight: 57 lbs, marital status: single, toenail color: pink. She's the only female officer on the LEPrecon squad, under the supervision of Commander Julius Root, gender: male, species: fairy, height: 3'8", weight: 94 lbs, toenail color: black...."
I prefer Eoin's way. ^_^
Ok, "Eoin Colfer" (pheraps): can you translate the symbols of the third book? Cause you`re the author actually, you must know it...
I`m from Spain and I like very much this books.
I think Artemis need a girlfriend (Holly is very beautiful, yes, but she´s a elph-woman... WHO WILL LIVE FOR CENTURIES!!!) Juliet is very... very... well, Juliet is very Juliet.
A new character? A genious girl 13 or 14 years old? A miscelanous from Holly and Juliet? :-) I like it.
My favourite character is Potrillo (in Spanish, the centaur is called Potrillo, but in English, what is his name? Little Colt? I don´t know...)
Somebody know something about the movie?
I only know somethings about Tribeca, Miramax, De Niro, Gutterman and it's coming soon on April 2005... :-( well, I hope it´s worth it.
(What do you say about the filming, eh, mr. Colfer? ¬_¬ And the auditions?)
*agrees with Kyra* Arty does need a girlfriend. Like they say, "Behind every successful man is a woman." ^_^ And yeah, it shouldn't be Juliet or Holly. (Cross-species...ew.)
Also, Potrillo's name in English is Foaly, since a foal is a baby horse.
Personally for me, Artemis Fowl is one of the best series I've ever read. None of the books ever striked me as "dumb" or "mis-leading."
And also, DUH, of course Colfer had to devote some time to the decoding of the fairy language! What? Was he going to suddenly say: And Artemis decoded the language! In a simple sentence??? And I don't think that it took up a HUGE CHUNK of the book. It took up 2 pages. WOW! That's a stunning amount for a 277 page book. WHAT was he thinking??
The Butlers sur name isn't simply dumb. Some may find it confusing but why not just accept it as part of Colfer's creativity and obvious talent?? I found no need to dissect where the origin of Juliet and Domovoi's sur name came from, and find fault in every aspect of it.
J.K. Rowling takes the place of number 1 favorite author for me. But Eoin Colfer is right there next to her in the number 2 spot. All of his books have been interesting and a good page turner for me. I may be over reacting but I really find absolutely no reason to try and find mistakes (that aren't really mistakes) in each and every sentence of his fabulous books.
Well, maybe you're right, loyal fan, but I dont't like compare Artemis with Harry `cause they are diferent histories, diferent places, diferent characters... I can't choose any one of these books because I love the both ones.
(I need practise my English :-()
Can anyone give me details about the Artemis fowl Movie Auditions? I would love to be in the movie somehow.
Yes, I`m with Nixemus (hey, what kind of name is Nixemus Leirbas???), what happen about auditions?
(Why Eoin Colfer not comment nothing? ¬_¬)
By the way Kyra, Nixemus Leirbas (Nix for short) is my other name. My real name is Jason Dewey.
In an age when people are still swooning over works like Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl is a refreshing change from your average fantasy novel. I think it's ridiculous that a lot of people don't appreciate the series for what it is. It is not just fantasy; it is science fiction as well. And more importantly, it is SCIENCE. Eoin Colfer deserves enormous respect for weaving physics and chemistry into a novel that also features "fairies." Whereas Rowling is a notoriously creative author, she does not utilize the magic of the real world, such as science and technology; she mocks it, even. Perhaps this is part of her storyline, and I'm not saying that I'm not a devoted Harry Potter fan, because I impatiently await the release of the next novel in the series, just like every other avid reader in the world. Eoin Colfer deserves to be revered alongside such authors as Philip Pullman. Many people have imagination, and many have the ability to write, to create, to develop a fictional world that is worthwhile. But the thing you will not see often--authors weaving REAL magic into a FANTASY novel. As the art of fantasy literature develops, we move further and further away from the real magic--technology, science, and most importantly, the cunning of the human mind. I stand by Artemis Fowl for this reason. It's childish to criticize Colfer just because he dared to do what few other authors have attempted previously--to stray from the boundaries of classical fantasy literature.
I'm agree with Anonymous. In fact, I don't like so much the HP's series, but I will have got a good remember about these books: the first ones of fantasy than I was read... with ten years old!! Suddenly, I read Tolkien, Philip Pullman, Marianne Curley and Colfer :-)
Talking about the Rome's king, these questions is for the author: If I live in Spain, when I can buy the 4th book in Spanish? And what is the tittle? Oh, I forget it... and the 5th book's tittle?
Thanks!!
Oh, I forgot a last question: what is "ARTEMIS FOWL: THE SEVENTH DWARF"? I'd like to know if it's a continuation and when come to Spain.
(Yeah, I know it -- in my town there isn't too much information..)
Thanks again. ^.^
to answer your questions kyra the 4th book is called ARTEMIS FOWL: THE OPAL DECEPTION.
i'm artemis fowl crazy! even obsessed! i think Holly is tottally cool and foaly is really funny.
i also think artemis sounds like a total hottie!
i am dying to know when the 4th part and the movie come out in canada (i've read all 3)i'd also love to be casted in the movie so when are auditions for Holly.
you'r totally biggest fan...asskickn' a!
PS.all the artemis haters you got it wrong
i read all 3 a.f books and they were totally wicked! foaly rocks,and youre right anais west arty sounds like such a hottie!yeah, he does need a girlfriend(it so wouldn't work out with him and holly and juliet isn't his type.)i'd love to be casted in the a.f movie (as juliet) but that's,like sooooooo not gonna happen. especialy since i dont know when the auditions are(please,please,pleeeease tell me when they are!) see ya!,yours truly crazy canadian girl.
I like Artemis's attitude. Sounds like me... Wearing suits, clever comments, extremely ittelligent, etc....
Ha ha ha.
OK, in www.artemisfowl.co.uk the 4th book's tittle is A.F.: THE OPAL INCIDENT (I hear it after...) and the 7th Dwarf is a special book for the World Book's Day (someone know if this one will come to Spain?)
Hey, baBy baT, we'are look at a girlfriend for Artemis, are you interested? ;-)
Artemis is so, ugh, criminal, but he's cool, reminds me of Alex Rider, only genius not spy
i decoded the code at the bottom but i want to know what the symbol for Q is. anyway it's what the pixie says and how she knew artemis was comeing. it's all about the vision and how clear it was, more detailed than her others.
i think it makes a good laguage to share with friends and see if they can figure it out and write it!!!!!!!
OK, first question, where the hell are you guys?!? I'm over here in USA and as i read, i think i counted about 20 people that soud like they have an english accent, 1 Finnish person, and three or four people who sound like they are from austrailia.
Second of all, what is this about a language that only the centaurs remember? Musta gotten cut out in the American edition.
And last but not least, it is a BOOK. ya, it was great and all, but find another one, read it, obsess over it, and move on!
P.S.- I was reading the Artemis Fowl(UK) website, and it clearly stated that the next book would be called The Opal Incident. I checked tonight and that info is no longer posted. But that should clear up all that misconception.
delete the spam comment. =P
I personally think the AF series combines some of the best and the worst I've ever seen in fiction. His knowledge of science, for one, is extremely ridiculous. There are tons of science-related flaws, like the inexistence of "ion trails", inconsistencies about healing (is it energy? - then its speed would be constant, speed of light!), the complete impracticality of "omni-sensors" and "magnetic screws", the biological issues with dwarves (minerals can't be used to produce energy. refer the whole concept of free energy and entropy) and a mistake about cryotech (I think it's a special sugar, triose, not glucose). And the most galling one is of course shielding, which almost completely drives the plots. You can't "vibrate out of the visible spectrum"; to stop reflecting light, you'd stop interacting electromagnetically with the rest of the universe, which means you'd collapse spectacularly into a neutron soup (proton + electron: no electro-repulsion, remember?) and slam into the nearest gravitational mass i.e. the center of the earth. not a pretty fate for Holly. the irksome thing about it is that these aren't peripheral errors - the plot collapses when you refuse to suspend your science.
that is the worst. the best is - you have to admit, this is very novel territory. for someone who's going where few have gone before I think he does a darned interesting job of it. it's far more innovative and fresh than, say, the idea of a wizard throwing fireballs about and turning things weird. the whole thing about fairy civilization, a society (very, very shallowly sketched) that remains undiscovered and hidden - a civ that is hiding. now that's nice. and it's not impossible - the location (subterranean?) might be dodgy, but I can certainly imagine an intelligent (now that's the hard one) dwelling at, say, the ocean bottom. unexplored territory. it's like Star Trek - of course "the aliens all look like swelled-up people, and they all speak English!", but the incredulous-ness is outweighed by the enormous potential that the scenario opens. i feel the same applies to artemis fowl.
his writing style...erm. it's punchy and catchy. won't win any Lit Nobels soon =P but it suffices. There are gems in there that I personally would feel proud to have written. and of course the ending of AF1 did seem incredibly deux ex machina but come to think of it, that's the only thing that would have worked. you might as well criticise AF3's climax for being so "orchestrated" - except it WAS orchetrated, by Artemis himself. I don't think it "lazy" - to me, this is a classy plot. besides, the books are SHORT! how can you compare a long plot that has been planned over 7 sequels, to what seems more like a series of one-shots?
I still think that Colfer has opened a wonderful world, even if it doesn't make sense. =P excuse me for saying that I personally think AF beats HP, any day. You may disagree, but at least understand why I can say that.
Excuse-moi Jessie, but if your checking all the websites for news of Artemis Fowl, than thats pretty hypocritical, no offense.
- 'In the USA, Sick, and Extremely Bored'
AF Rocks! So does Ender's Game. And the Who! (they're a band)
Yankees S***! Righteous
I think this book is pretty tight. I'm kind of like artemis like his attitude but I'm not nearly as smart as him. In the first book, in Ho Chi Minh City, that guy was checking for weaponry and he was lieing to artemis that he was the waiter. However, Artemis told him that he wasn't the waiter because of his rings, etc. etc. I usually do that to people (it's one of the reasons why I lost 1 time in the card game BS or BullSh*t and won like a million times) because I know when they are lieing or not. I once did that to a teacher and I got detention for 3 days but it worth it. He got him moded so bad. :) Anyways, I think Artemis Fowl books are just great and I can't wait for the 4th and the 5th book. ;-)
Can you please help me? I need a summery on chapter 5-7 in artemis fowl or can any point me to a place where I can find one?
That's my favorite part in the book William. I like the Artemis books because of that, how he is.
Hey Josh, Its not ohm phlem pot. It actually is Ohm, it then continues to state that his is a phlem pot cleaner to his majesty
Artemis Fowl rox!!! It'll be cool to find out what happens in the 4th book!!!
come and see jimi kitchener's new website it's about alien it has coll info.
jimi kitchener is obviously acting as eoin colfer, considering it's december there will be no movie,
why would a fifth book be out in 2005 when a fourth book has not been produced yet?
if anyone doubts that reasoning complain at someone_who_cares@terrace.qld.edu.au
actually there is a 5th book coming out soon (probably 2005). Eoin Colfer already wrote number 4 and he is trying to publish it as soon as possible. He's probably working on the fifth book right now. By the ways, I have decoded number 1 and 3 at the bottom of the book. I got the translations for number 2 but I'm do lazy to translate it lol.
P.S. Rape dude, don't say shit because u sound like a young guy who's in to sexuality and want to show off ur sexual power to us. :-0~~~~
P.S.S. hey khazar, wouldn't it be cool if they made a clone artemis except the clone one was on the opposite side of the real artemis? Lol, genius against genius.
soo much to say...
first off, i love the AF books. they are not in any way written badly. I do have issues with the third one though, the plot seemed a little forced, but it was still good as books go.
I can't wait for the fourth novel (not including the AF Files). I don't know if anyone's mentioned this, but the current release date is May 3, 2005.
I think that anyone who has to go onling to translate the code makes the human race look as dumb as the faries think we are. There are two side-by-side pages in AF1 that have (on one side) the gnommish symbols, and on the other the direct translation-compare the symbol to the corresponding letter, ppl! i "broke" the code when i was nine!
a comment on foaly's translation above: thank you for doing that! i have never had the attention span to translate everything. For words like see and been, they do in fact have both e's. If you look carefully, the zigzag representing the e is thicker and darker than normal. this is not a printing error, it instead denotes a double e.
P.s. when's the movie sposed to be released?
come and see jimi kitcheners website at www.maxpages.com/aliensareus jimi is going to be in the artemis fowl movie and he is going to bei in spy kids 4
ive decoded the whole book all it says is pretty much a gigantic sumary of what the artemis fowl trilogy is about.
I think that it is a bunch of baloni that makes no sence whatsoever
I love the Artemis Fowl books and I really have to say sorry to all the critics out there but readers of the Artemis Fowl series are NOT LOSERS. Eoin Colfer has a great imagination. I think Artemis Fowl is the greatest invention EVER. I look forward to the 4th book and the movie. Please, please stop criticising Artemis Fowl and Eoin Colfer, go open that book and really put your soul into reading it. When I came here I felt like fuming and I would like to stand up and applause for all those who say Artemis Fowl is a great series. You are definitely RIGHT. Very right. Artemis Fowl is a brilliant series and those who think that Eoin Colfer is a bad writer and Artemis Fowl is the worst creation ever, I am sorry but I am guessing you have not read the book and just spared it one glance and thought it was some lame book. I admit I always thought Artemis Fowl was boring but my sister bought the Eternity Code, and I read that. The first page caught my interest so fast I grabbed the first book and read it. Eoin Colfer is the greatest writer ever and that is all I am going to say. Though i've said so much and I feel like punching this screen just looking at the names of all you critics. Go read Artemis Fowl. Really. I promise it's not as bad as you think it is. It's much better.
I think the Artemis Fowl books are quite interesting.I like to read them.
Hi people!!!!
Great books, but what's the f***ing fuss? Yes, they rock but chill people! Oh and if 'JIMI KITCHENER' still looks at this site, please post something - you sound fit
Actually, I take that back. Just seen the website. Not saying there's anything wrong with aliens but you sound like a bored, young or mentally retarded child. The Supernaturalists is a great book! Read it.
lol im rereading the artemis fowl books
they're my 2nd fav series
ever...
and that gnomish alphabet thing
i just looked at the page in the artemis fowl files
and i knew them all
in the fourth book, opal koboi escapes from a 24 hour video watch by clonig herself, and she sets out to get revenge on everyone one that put her there, while trying to take over the world. on the cover it says "when you need a criminal genious to save you, you really are in trouble"
it start off when artemis is about to steal a priceless impressionist painting in berlin.
who thinks the rock should play butler in the artemis fowl movie?
the cover is green and sparkly and has a pic of dna strands on it, the book is 300 and somting pages long.
whos playing arty in the movie?
I want to play Artemis Fowl. Does anyone know of auditions?
He(The Rock)has got a ponytail and is constantly showing off and makes too much of a show,whereas Butler is bald and understated.Personally Ithink Vin Diesel of xXx and The Fast And The Furious fame is near-perfect for the part.
vin diesel isn't buff enough to be butler.
nobody's hot enough to be artemis
cept maybe tom felton
it's my guess they've already started shooting the movie, so i dont think anyone'sgot i hope of being anything. sorry
How do you know so much about the fourth book Maddy? I think a film would ruin the Artemis Fowl books cos they probably wouldn't get it accurate and nobody would be able to fill the position of the main characters... except maybe Colfer's relation who is apparently perfect for the part of Artemis Fowl the Second. They'd also make it all commercial as well, possibly putting in un-connected romance to make it sell.
i personally think the artemis fowl books are great. the problem is that you people are arguing over the most stupid thing. i love books but everyone is different and so are books. i hate the terry pratchet novels but thats just me, my mum loves them.
elysium: i know so much about the fourth book because i know where to look to get info (reliable info that is). in fact, im fairly shocked all of you are so clueless, dont you ever use the internet for purposes other than this site? and to those no brainer who thought it was gonna be called the opal incident, you need to get out of isolation.
the book will be released in may or july.
i aggree about the movie, its going to totally wreck the book. you seem to know more about it then i do, whats this about someone being good for the role of artemis?
i love the artimis fowl books. i mean like artemis is a cool kid and is a boss of butler and so ya.
hey dudes. artemis is a hottie!
I love this book
the cod at the bottom of the AF 2 book says: congradulations human. if you have cracked this code you are more intelligent then most of you species. this is a message from the fairy people. we are seeking out our allies amoung the mud men. though most humans are dullwited creatures there are exceptions. you for example. the reason for you intelligence is that you have fairy ancestors. do you feel different from those around you? are your ears a bit pointier then most? is you tongue long enough to touch your nose? do you dream of flying? have you ever thought that you do not belong amoung mud men? that is because you have fairy blood in your veins. so young mud fairy, i have a mission for you. as one of the people it is your duty to protect the earth from those who would destroy it. you must become one of a new race of mud men who love this planet as much as the fairy folk. there is one simple rule. use only what you need and use it wisley. do this and the earth will survive. go now and begin your quest. i shall repeat this message for those whose fairy intelligence is buried a bit deeper then yours.
then it just repeats itself. i cant beleive so many of you were asking about it! i cracked it in two seconds, and translated it in five (sigh)
I enjoy reading through this informal place. I will surely visit you again to see if anything new appears on it.
Good luck for the future.
I agree Maddy the codes are s***t easy
i love this site! although id like to talk to the same people sometimes (it shows that when people ask me a question, they come back to check the answer) so peoples PLEASE come back
I don't know if anyone's noticed, but I believe there's a big error in the 3rd Fowl book. Jon Spiro mentions that the guards in his vault are changed regularly. But how does that happen, if Spiro is the only person who can open the vault? Does he open the vault every time guards need to be changed? Personally I think the whole 'live security' was a bit much, automated security would've been enough. If anyone has an answer, speak up.
But, mistakes and all, I LOVED the books, and anyone who doesn't, need to get their heads examined.
This is to Maddy. I see I'm not the only one who has researched the 4th book. By the way, the green cover with the pics of the DNA strands is the Puffin Books cover. The cover by Miramax publishers is greatly different. It is brown and gold, and looks like a tunnel heading into a bright light. I didn't look too closely, though, and I may have missed details. If you like, I can get back with more details.
And thanks for cracking the code.
iv seen that cover. i thought it was just a hardback special edition. i didn't even know mirrormax published books.
i really need to knowa way to crack the code on the 3rd book, because, after careful examination, iv realised it is a code. if you look closley you'll notice the thin lines which represent the ends of sentences.
i think once your in the spiro vault, it would be easy to get out, thus making it possible to switch security (granted no-one accidentally closes the door while no-ones in the vault). but it doesn't say in the 3rd book that spiro and co. were wearing oxigen masks when they were waiting for artemis, or even artemis was wearing an oxygen mask, once in the vault, they all would have suffocated.
still love the books
I think only the Puffin version is available in UK, 'cos amazon.co.uk sells Puffin, while amazon.com sells the Miramax version. But both Miramax and Puffin are available in a number of countries.
Afraid I can't help you with the codes, I'm very busy at the moment, and I'm useless at puzzles.
actually, amazon.com sells the sparkly green books too. and i dont see why all the other books that come out in australia are sparkly, yet this one isn't, it wouldn't make sense.
if anyone has any info on the 3rd code, please contact me imediatly!
this is to elysium. you didnt happen to grt your name from "daughters of elysium" (thats a book by the way)
Would Barry kindly elaborate on what he is trying to say?
No Maddy, I first saw it on the Gladiator soundtrack. I knew it meant 'resting place of the blessed dead' (greek myth) and I thought it was kinda cool... is the book good?
iv never read the book. i just saw it in a second hand book store and the name struck me.
who heres from the UK?
Me!!!! Where are you from Maddy?
These Artemis Fowl books are so cool!!!!!!!! Though I'm still figuring out what the symbols at the bottom represent.
Oh yeah, I forgot. This is for all the people wondering what the fourth Artemis Fowl book is. Well it is The Supernaturalist. Thank you. Thank you. Your all welcome.
elysium: im from australia.
ps. pimps an idiot
pps. i recently saw jimi kitchners new website. THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE! (mental giggle)
'Pimp' you fool. The Supernaturalists is a good book though...
whens the sequal to the supernaturalist gonna be out.
what part of the uk r u from
I wasn't aware there's a sequal coming out, therefore I have no information as to dates of it's release.
I'm from Ipswich, Suffolk, East Anglia etc etc
uhhhh.. elysuim. ur the foo
thats the wackiest town, country or watever name iv ever heard. of course there'll be a sequal to the supernaturalists, and its going to be based in antarctica. didn't you read the end of the book. is it just me, or does eoin have a thing with the arctic circle. guess wat! its pronounced "o-in"
and wat is pimp implying to elysium. ur the foo?
Hmm. Well, you obviouslly have all the answers. Why is it wacky?
And yes, exactly what do you mean by "ur the foo" ?
*obviously
just never heard of it. wat was that last thing you posted supposed to mean. if it was sarcasm, i generally cant tell the difference from normal speech, even when people are talking to me face on, let alone when they post it on the internet.
who agrees "the rock" would make a better butler then vin deisal in the artemis fowl movie.
who also agrees cameron diaz will definatly not make a good holly and hilary duff would make an excelent juliet.
im not in any way commending hilarys acting skills, i just think she has the right look.
I don't think Rock would make a good silent bodyguard. Also, I think he's a few inches too short to be Butler.
elysium (fool). I said ur the fool because you were the first on to call me a fool, fool.
But you are a fool, because you thought "The Supernaturalists" was the 4th "Artemis Fowl" book, so technically, she wasn't wrong. And of course, if she wasn't wrong, and you're not right, it means she was right, and being right generally implies a higher level of intellect, which makes u calling her a fool even more incorrect. And the fact that you called her a fool twice, makes you seem even more unintelligent then in most cases.
Moron
And technically, elysium was not the first to call you a fool, as she was the only one to call you a fool. If you were to say she was the first to call you a fool, as you did, it's simply implying you are to expect, or have experienced, more insults of that exact wording after the event of her calling you a fool eg. one only says "he was the first to reach the south pole", when one expects other to do so afterwards. But if you were to say "he was the only one to insult King Henry (or some other famous name)", it implies that he was, or would be, the only one to do so. Although, I'm now beggining to realise why you chose that specific wording.
Could somebody please tell me the way to decript the code on the third book, or tell me of a website that would.
Thank you maddy. It's kinda hard to explain how to decode the third one... I can tell you that 'e' has the largest number of bars, twelve to be exact. The first sentence is, 'a message from Artemis Fowl'. There, hope that helps.
thanx! it will!
is anyone gonna post anything on this site, or do i have to have a conversation with myself?
A conversation with yourself inside a forum will be somewhat unusual. But I can understand your feelings. No one (me included) seems to have anything new to add. But this will undoubtedly change when the 4th Fowl book comes out. Since then, let us find our "quiet place"(quoting Madame Ko).
s'pose so
Why do so many people criticize these books? I bet that there are about 100 people that have written on this site that the hate the Artemis Fowl books. They just don't want to admit that the actually like the series.
damn stait!
soooo u nerds get emotional when people say artemis suks ay mwahhahahhahaha artemis would ne ashamed that ur his fans u NERDS u think ur a hardcore artemis fan but ur not and pimp u go high wen ur in a toilet so u better shutup
hehehehehee thats rite mwahhahahahahha mwhahahhahahahhahah thats rite u cry nerds
that sounds like something a nerd would say, freak!
AT LEAST I HAVE A LIFE! IF YOU'VE GOT NOTHING BETTER TO DO THEN TAUNT PEOPLE ON WEBSITES, GO PICK ON JIMI KITCHENER, NOT US!!!
FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAK!
book #4 is the Opal Deception. It says so in the back of the AR files, in gnommish.
book #4 is the Opal Deception. It says so in the back of the AF files, in gnommish.
duh! the opal deception starts in berlin, where artemis is preparing to steal a famous impressionist painting. little does he know, his former enamy, opal koboi, has escaped from a 24 hour prison watch by cloning herself, and has saught to get revenge on everyone who put her there, including artemis, whilst trying to take over the world.
meanwhile, in the lower elements, holly has been convicted of a heinous crime, but escapes from jail to try to rescue artemis. but before she manages, opal intercepts them both, and makes artemis come face to face with the man that would destroy the fairy people.
see amazon books.
when is it comin out?
of all the things i've checked, that, oddly enough, was not one of them. you look up something for once!
artimis fowl 4 is coming out in may dont no exactly wat day but near the beggining
i just found out it comes out on the 5th may 05
by the way i looked 4 an egyptian translator and gnommish looks nothing like it, apart from the E prehaps, and that its based on symbols...
i was just wondering when are the movie auditions.and are you looking for any girls of 12 years.because recently i have been in the west end in a show called by the bog of cats with famous holly hunter.i adore acting and would love to have a chance to be in a movie.please write back.

how did you (someone) crack the code?
the Artemis Fowl series are my favorite books of all time and I do believe that people have the right to their own opinion but to scrutinize the book so much that you try to prove every little detail on the book wrong is just pitiful and highly 'affected'. You forget that the book is targeted to the younger audience and isn't exactly something that acclaims itself as completely accurate. and it has already been stated before that the code that apears on the book isn't really the code the author had in mind.
Artemis Fowl isn't a perfect book but it is a well done story that captures the modern imagination in such a way that few other books of the same genre has failed to do so. It is also a fresh new spin on the fantasy genre that dares to be different and a bit more witty and interesting unlike any of its more hyped coleagues(i'm talking to you Potter). Sure their facts maybe mixed up but it IS a fantasy and any tweaking of reality is welcome.
does anyone here watch Family Guy? if so, don't you see a little bit of Arty in Stewie?
Will there be a book 5? If so i hope it's the last, I don't want it to be too dragged on like the Potter books (Phoenix was horrendous) since it's not as well crafted as the Snicket series (which i think is the best series ever written).
I heard they were going to primary schools around Ireland looking for someone to play the part of Artemis. Does anyone know how to get a school included even if it is a small school or how to get an audition.
Hi my name is conor ryan and i was wondering, i'm 14 years old and i live in limerick, are there auditions for boys my age and where? and are ye going around to secondry schools for parts in the movie? i heard about all of this on the late late show on the 4th of march. thanks
i, personally, think the order of the phoenix was fantastic.
I love your books and have only just found this site, i think that artemis fowl realy captures the idea of "boy genius" perfectly, anyway, i'd love to read the 4th book. i hated the harry potter movies, but loved the books. and i do watch family guy, oooh its coming on now, at 11:30! bye.
i definatly see a lot of the boy from the family guy in artemis.
I personally consider the Artemis Fowl series, along with Harry Potter, His Dark Materials and, of course, the Lord Of The Rings, one of the best series ever written. I can't wait until The Opal Deception comes out, but I know I will suffer a lot, cause down here in Mexico it will be the hardest book ever to get!!! Anyone has an idea on how to get it?
Maddy, if you want I can post the answer to the third code later...
yes! please please please post the code of the third letter!!! i thought i could figure it out, but i was wrong. post it asap!
how did u figure it out?
haha im crazy!!!!
you are crazy!
This is a VERY IMPORTANT announcemnt for all Artemis fans. You can now READ the first chapter of the "Opal Deception" at www.eoincolfer.com. Just go to eoincolfer.com, go to the "Site Map", and click on the link marked "Opal Deception Ch.1". It will take you to the totally awesome first chapter of Opal Deception. If you've already read it, good for you. If you haven't, GET GOING.
hi every one i heard that the fourth artemis fowl is coming out this year i also heard there is a fifth.
yeah there is and there is a book
I hope the film is not sh- ahem, bad. T'would be a shame to ruin such a good book.
Can I just ask whether anybody here lives in England, especially in East Anglia?
Not saying that I do of course...
could somebody please write the code for me!
OK. The code.
are idiots allowed on this site?
well, there appears to be one already.
OK, I'm taking a survey. How many people in this forum has read the first chapter of Opal Deception? And if you have, your comments on same?
come and see jimi kitcheners website he has upgraded it. its better than ever!.www.maxpages.com/aliensareus
i find that eoin colfer is paying little attention to the ecology like he used to .In the first 2 books there were references to how the mudpeople were ruining the ecosystem by unbridled pollution.but the 3rd book is just a mind boggling maze of plots ,smart talk and bravado packed in stuttering ,truncated sentences .
but i think AF is better than HP .jkr is simply squeezing the profits from her creation ,making the books fatter .who cares sbout harry's hopeless romances ,really ?and that bit about the brains attacking ??maybe she thought we needed some mystery about that -theres no other word for it-idiotic scene with chang .jkr actually ends up with a horibly convoluted book .she should take a page out of af and keep the books short and sweet .
i think eoin colfers already told us enough about the environment, it's time to get on with the story. the first chapter was fantastic! the last sentence kept me thinking.
yes ,the first chapter is definitely the best among the 4 books .It compels u to read on.
I think they're all great! The fourth one looks interesting.
Also, loads of people are having... difficulty decoding the third one. If you want to know what it says, read on. If not... don't.

A message from Artemis Fowl. Encrypted.
My dear newfound ally if you have deciphered this code then you are of sufficient intelligence to aid me in my mission. You may have heard of the Fowl family and imagine this mission to be illegal or even dangerous. I promise you this is now the case all I ask that you help me keep my memories where they belong. In my head. There are certain forces at computer disk to a reprobate of Mulch Diggums. The disk contains all my knowledge of the fairy folk. Of course the mind wipe will cause me to forget all about the dwarf and the disk. Diggums should bring the disk to me but common criminals are not to be trusted. I ask you to get a message to me. The message is simple. Six words only. Artemis Fowl must find Mulch Diggums. Wherever you see one of the faithful clutching this book repeat those words. The message will spread like a virus across the world eventually reaching my ears. I will act upon it putting all my resources into locating the mysterious mister Diggums. Once I find him the disk will reactivate all my memories and the knowledge will be mine again. Do this for me and when I rule the world then you will be rewarded. Remember Artemis Fowl must find Mulch Diggums.
Your new friend Artemis Fowl the Second.
thank you
Please, can anyone help my students crack the code of the first book. I am a librarian and my students are looking for the code on the Artemis Fowl website but we haven't been able to find it. Has it been removed? Can anyone help????!!!!
Please help my elementary school students crack the code for the first book. Has the help in cracking the code disappeared from the website? We have looked and can't find it on there?
What the Hell is the climax of this book???????
wow! finally! people with my own level of intelligence!
wow! finally, people with my own level of intelligence!
The third book's secret message makes for more interesting reading than in the first 2 books
the prophecies of ohm, phlegm pot cleaner to frond, elfen king. I am ohm, phlegm pot cleaner to the king, but i am much more than that, for i see the future written in the phlegm. for centuries we pixies have reas the phlegm, but i am the best there has evr ben. (evr, ben, se, are not spelling errors, there are rarely any silent e's in the gnommish language.) my visions are generally of little importance. i foretell outbreaks of troll pox or gas spasms among elderly dwarfs. but sometimes even a poor pot cleaner can se wonderous things. a vision came to me two moons ago when i was gazing dep into his majestys owl phlegm pot. i was heating the pot over a flame when the sign appeared. this vision was more vivid and detailed than any i had previously sen. becauseof its importace i decided to write it down for posterity and so i can say i told you so. i saw an age when the people have ben driven underground by the mud men. this is what the phlegm told me. in this time one shall come among us. fowl be name and foul by nature. a mud man unlike any other. he shall lharn (learn) our secrets and use them against us. i se him now as plain as day. his face is pale e has dark eyes and raven hair. yet it must be a mistake for he sems a mere yauth (youth). surely no mud boy could outwit the people. but now i se that the boy is notalone. he is aided by a formidable warrior, scarred from a thousand battles. this fowl shall hold the the people to ransom for their most precious possesion. gold. and in spite of all our MAGIC (not MAGICK) there is a chance that he will prevail. for he has discovered how to escape the timefield. unfortunately how the story ends i cannot say. but there was more to se. there is another story to come. someone will bring the people and mud men together. the worst of both races. this fairys goal is to grind all the creatures of the earth beneath his boot.and who is this traitor, it is not clear. but he shall start a war unlike anything the people have evr (ever) sen (seen). Those who were enemies shall be unifid (unified) against tim (time). And for the first tim (time) there will be mud men below ground. I have one clue to his identity, a riddle. Goblins shall rise and haven shall fall, a villainous elf is behind it all, to find the one who so disappoints, look ye to where the finger points. Instead of one face, this elf has two. Both speak false abd none speak true. While publicly he lends a helping hand, his true aim is to seize command. I know. Its not very plain is it, I dont understand either. But perhaps in the future all will become clear. Look for a powerhungry elf who has a finger pointed at him during our tale. And so, this is ohm's legacy. A warning that may save the world from total destruction. There's not much more to work with I know. The details are a bit sketchy. My advice to you is to consult the phlegm. it may be that you are sensitive. I have buried this prophecy with my phlegm pot. If you are not fortunate enough to work as a pot cleaner, then there is usually a supply of phlegm evry (every) tim (time) you have a cold. Herendeth (here ends) the first prophecies of ohm. but because of the importance of my visions I shall repet (repeat) the prophecies once more. If you have just begun to understand the text, then read on. If you have worked out hte entire message then congradulations. Now go and save the world.
there are no errors in the writing. i just completed it and there were no errors
the decoding has no errors in it i did it and there were no errors
can you please tell me the writing on books 1, 2 and 3 and the covers in the writing its written in and in english?
please can you tell me the writing in the language on all the books and the front covers in the same language as the book and in english
Hi, I couldn't help but read.
Damn you people hate each other.
I can't believe this! OK, I do see some flaws in the book, but having an arguement about things like:
Butler's Name (Which I thought was a creative way to tell you how obediant the butlers are)
Magic/Magick (Magick is the correct old english spelling)
Artemis (which means something like wise hunter, a perfect name for artemis)
Is just a complete waste of time.
I do agree that on occasion artemis's ideas do come out of nowhere, but beyond that, I see few flaws. I loved the way he radicly redesigned the thinking of Fairy Folklore for this book! I'm glad that people have different opinions, I myself this was a great book.
And also, the grammar of a three year old isn't a compelling arguement.
I have the 4th book and have read it.
who wants to know who dies in artemis fowl and the opal deception? and basically anything else that happens?
no, i havn't read it, i'm just a little obsessive
It's really great that you decided to tell us what the third book encryption said, but I'd REALLY like to know how to actually read it.
Please tell me how you figured out what was what.
Please...
I loved the Artemis Fowl series, I have read the fourth book and it's great. Opal escapes from prison and is out to get revenge on the four people she hates most;Artemis, Holly, Commander Root, and Foaly. She wants to introduce the people to the mud men in hope that war will break out. Artemis regains his memory after an encounter with Holly and Mulch and now they must stop Opal from destroying Haven and starting the war of the century.
I absolutly Love the Artemis Fowl series (is it a quartetor is Eoin pronused Owen going to write more?)! Anyway Harry Potter is nothing but a school paper compared to Artemis, Watch your back Harry!
there are some pretty gay ppl on this site...
how come people thought it was hard to crack the code? i did it in about ten mins. come on people! e mail me with your comments DemonKin106@hotmail.com

A message from Artemis Fowl. Encrypted.
My dear newfound ally if you have deciphered this code then you are of sufficient intelligence to aid me in my mission. You may have heard of the Fowl family and imagine this mission to be illegal or even dangerous. I promise you this is now the case all I ask that you help me keep my memories where they belong. In my head. There are certain forces at work that wish to deprive me of
memories that are rightfully mine. There forces would wipe certain facts from my brain that are extremely important not to mention valuable. Who are these forces they are known as the people. I know what you are thinking this person Artemis Fowl has obviously lost his mind. Fairy people he cannot honestly expect me to believe this nonsense. It is an understandable reaction. Two years ago I would have reacted exactly the same way. But a lot can change in two years. I have seen greenskinned sprites fly under their own power. I have seen dwarfs use their cavernous mouths to dig tunnels. I have witnessed the healing power of elves and touched the flank of a noble centaur. These creatures exist. Take my word for it. But as powerful as these creatures are they fear one thing humans. We are the only living creatures with the power the overthrow their underground society. Our numbers could subdue even magic. So the people have decided that it is too dangerous to have a human boy with fairy knowledge in his head. Soon they will mind wipe me and this extraordinary information will disappear. There is one way to stop this happening. I have entrusted a computer disk to a reprobate of Mulch Diggums. The disk contains all my knowledge of the fairy folk. Of course the mind wipe will cause me to forget all about the dwarf and the disk. Diggums should bring the disk to me but common criminals are not to be trusted. I ask you to get a message to me.

Hey I've read through all of this and it's come out inconclusive. Seriously, have the auditions been, if they have will the movie actually be coming out, is it already filming or is there still a place for Artemis. Just wondering.
The Artemis Fowl series rock and so does The Supernaturalist and The Wish List. They were all great books and I really enjoyed reading them!
Hey I have read this whole thing and so far I have come up inconclusive as to the answer to these questions.
1) Have the auditions for Artemis already been held or will they?
2) Has the movie been shot yet or is it being shot?
3) If it already has been when is it coming out?
Thanks.
P.S. All of Eoin Colfer's books including 'The Opal Deception' are great! Congratulations to him!!!
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????I think Artemis Fowl ROCKS!!!! it helped me reach my AR goal!
Oblivious reviewer, is it possible that, whilst you were reading the book, you did not come to terms with the pure and simplistic beauty of the artemis fowl book? It is a melding of the two most opposing genre's in modern literature, science fiction and fantasy, a bold first attempt for a writer. As for your love of Harry Potter (a book that i detest to the utmost, because in my veiw it is very much a more condescending story than Artemis Fowl (Harry will have to fight Voldymort to the death, blah blah, blah, hidden secrets, oh trouble just follows that kid around) in which you are actually required to use YOUR BRAIN) I think it has blinded you to radicalist and new thinking litirature. Honestly, i found no fault when i read the first book aproximately three, four years ago (or perhaps less, it seems more) it suspended my belief quite nicely, if a race is left to evolve before the period of Homo Sapiens, of course they would develope a technology much more advanced than our own. You are narrow minded to the extreme when reading the book, i have found time and time again that facts are left in the book for later relevation, i.e. the big trick Artemis had up his sleve was nicely delivered, why you failed to notice the subtle hints in the story was beyond me, or perhaps you do not meet the minimum required intelligence to read and understand this book (being that this is a story for young readers). In any case open your mind to new and exciting ideas next time, experimenting with the conventions of writing can only further our understanding of the art.
Has anyone read the new book ? it's great. But a couple of points:
1.In chapter 2 the bank employees act very immaturely.I doubt employees of such a respected bank would act so childishly.
2.I think it is PATHETIC how Koboi is defeated in the end. Even if her magic ran out, she could have killed the Italian woman five times over in that one week.
now can you translate the forth book?
I think artemis fowl is great.I have already decoded books 1-4 including the artemis fowl files.at first I thought artenis fowl was not that ool but after reading it it almost controlled my mind.I wish that there is a fifth book.ARTEMIS FOWL ROCK MY WORLD (especially the underground part!)
Artemis Fowl rocks, and anyone who doesnt think so should go jump in a lake full of acid. This is completly off subject, but does anybody know when the Artemis Fowl Movie is coming out?
Anybody read the Opal Deception yet? Twas..not very good, compared to others. I wouldn't recommend it, unless you really care.
i can't beleive the new book isn't sparkly!
is there going to be a 5th book? Plus I have read them all and I wonder if anyone could write the decoded message for the 4th book, or at least show me where I could find it.
I LOVE ARTEMIS FOWL, HE IS A GENIUS CRIMINAL 14 YEAR OLD. IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE BOOKS THAN DON'T COME TO THIS SITE. NOW, DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT FOALY'S CODE SAYS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGES OF THE FOURTH BOOK ?........ANYBODY ?
You people should really read ALL the books before throwing smak around about these books. I feel sorry for those people who cannot understand a good plot when they see one. They should start back at the cardboard picture books and work their way up. Hopefully, they will make it past the Magic Treehouse series.
Hey, Holly Black here. When are auditions for the movie? Im knda getting impatient. If they cast a total ditz like Hillary Duff or Cameron Diez, I WILL DIE!! They have to do this right!!!
I just think that Artemis is the best books on earth, and i want to say thanks to everyone who has posted clues on how to crack the codes! but... the first code is shown on www.artemisfowl.com (the american website) and it shows the translation for the gnommish alphabet(the first code) so the first code isnt all that hard
i got about that far too, if like me you have the hardback edition of the 4th book,there is writing wrapped around the dna strands in gold lettering, who knows what it says?
i just think that artemis fowl are the best books ever. i dont really care wot ne1 else thinks, and thanx 2 evry1 hu helped me crak the codes! ur da best! lol
i think AF rocks and if the book is really THAT long (like HP) when you finish the back you would have forgotten the front.
has anyone gotten the Opal Deception? or has anyone got any info about the fifth AF book? if anyone has please tell me thanks im eager to know (:
hey people out there i think AF books are great i love them i just got the opal deception it rocks!! and if any of you know anything about the fifth book please tell me! thanks! (:
p.s.: this is a personal opinion.
another p.s.: any of you know FanFiction.net? its a great website dedicated to fans who want to write stories out of the original work and make it their original. the stories are nice. i recommend you AgiVega! (:
You know what, Artemis Fowl rocks. That's just it. Most of the stuff in HP doesn't make much sense either. It's a book!! Plus, Never knowing how Artemis is going to end whatever he got himself into is the BEST part of all of the books. I mean, a plot shouldn't give away the end in the beginning right?..Why would any one like that kind of plotline?...
so ne1 know wot on earth a pimp is? it sounds like a loda gibberish 2 me! lol
Hey, i would like to know this, how do i know that the person writing under the name Eoin Colfer is really the wrieter of Artemis Fowl. His grammer (some not all but some) and typing are not of the best. I think a writer as brilliant as Eoin Colfer would be a better typest than what his posts imply.
The book is The best book ever, read it.
the below statement is true
the above statement is false
I wonder if artemis can figure out my riddle above.
lol he had no friend Artemis Fowl cant make friend and no 1 here he wood like lol
hi I have found a site what give you gnommish as a Eg ms-work font
http://www.geocities.com/thephlegmpot/index.html
and for helo read it
http://www.geocities.com/thephlegmpot/gnommish.html#rules
now i can read gnommish easy
I think Artemis Fowl is the best adventure book of the year! It is similar to Harry Potter's adventures and Lord of the Rings. So please if you have any comments about the book or want the codes email me im " sweetmuffin_80@hotmail.com"
Thank you
Lea
artemis fowl is amazing, and i really can't wait till i can get the 4th book for my birthday! rock on artemis!!!
I can't believe there are actually people out there who don't like these books! That's all I can say. I'm not even going to try to convince you one way or the other because everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but I personally think these books are brilliant! I have all the books (even the 4th which of course JUST HAD TO BE HARDBACK) and I'll tell you I thought it was worth the effort to save my money. I've read just about every book you can name and these are way close to the top of my OMG THESE BOOKS ROCK!! list. :) If you haven't read them yet do! Don't let the peanut gallery convince you otherwise. :)
Hello everyone. I personally enjoyed the Artemis Fowl books, and I have a couple of questions and comments about some of the posts on this site:
1) Are you all from England?
2) Are the codes different/not there in the American books? I know there was a code in Gnommish along the bottom of the 4th book, and possibly the 1st.
3) WHO THE HECK IS JIMI KITCHENER?!?!?!
4) I highly doubt any of these people pretending to be Eoin Colfer actually are, because one types in all caps and the other spells words wrong.
5) Yes, whoever said that Tom Felton should play Artemis if there is a movie, I agree.
Thanks!
Holy crap, relax. I see maybe one negative critique for every 10 senseless pro-Artemis rants criticizing the people who didn't like the books. Fine, I get it, you obvious love the books, but please stop being so bullheaded and accept some people don't. Here's a life lesson, most people DON'T think the same.
I personally wasn't a fan of the style, the character of Artemis and Butler were very interesting and promising, but the faeries seemed so cartoonish, yes, more cartoonish than Voldemort. They all sound like characters in a cheesy buddy cop movie. I wish the books were longer with more emphasis on Artemis. Also, to those who told people who didn't like it to read the series, well thanks alot, now I've read three books I didn't like instead of just one. Once again, this is not a personal attack on YOUR intelligence (for any small-minded, bull headed, arrogant, "I'm right and you're wrong" critics), I'm merely stating that it was not an enjoyable reading experience for on the whole. It always seems like I've only read a chapter instead of a complete book. If someome would write an Artemis Fowl series without any magical touches (what's the point if you rarely use it in the book?) or cheesy cops, I'd be willing to give it another chance.
To Read Chapters 1-4 of The Opal Deception
1.Go to "Aretmisfowl.com" and enter to the main site.
2.Go down to the bottom to the "What would Artemis Fowl Do" sweepstakes. ("Play Today!")
3.Click on that and get at least 5/10 of the questions right.
Enjoy
4.Once you do that you will be able to read chapters 1-4 of the new Artemis Fowl book The Opal Deception.
i have read the first 3 books and i love them i have cracked the codes on the first 2 but im stumped with the third can any help me

You guys are all really strange! But I must say, so am I. These books ROCK! Keep on rockin in the free world. And by the way, whoever it is that said anybody in the U.S. wouldn't understand anything, you're stupid.
Does anyone know where and when auditions are for this movie? I'd really like to try out for the artemis part.
Dear Eoin,
Just wondering if you could give us some dates for the upcoming Artemis Fowl Movie.
I heard it got postponed because of exchange rates in ireland.
Also could we get a bit of information on the cast.
Seya, Jack
"Good knife..."Good bye Mr.Burton"
I need Eoin Colfers address so i can ask him who he got the inspiration 4 Artemis from AND 4 THOSE OF YOU WHO DONT LIKE ARTEMIS FOWL GO SOAK UR HEAD CUS HE IS SMART ND GORGEOUS!
Yeah, there is a 5th book, I read it in an Eoin colfer interview. I don't know when it'll be released, but it's going to be called "Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony. I also have no clue what it's about. Look up the title on google, you'll find the interview.
Okay, does anyone know for certain when any auditions are for ANYTHING? Or if the rumor that only Irish folk can play the humans? Any info possible would be nice, sadly there is nothing on artemisfowl.tripod.com/index.html (I Believe that's the site) about the auditions. But I have it bookmarked as a show of faith ^_-.
So, does anyone know anything about auditions (For Artemis in particular), if they are over, if they are still going, where/when/who anything?
Does anyone have any information on the Artemis Fowl Movie Auditions? Whether they have yet to take place, have already taken place? Or any information about the movie, and when it will come out, (if Auditions have taken place).
I've heard plenty of rumors, like "They're only going to use Irish Actors." And such. Is this true? I wouldn't believe it. As long as the person has talent and can put on a very convincing Irish accent, how can they say no? Sure, the person may not look Irish, but that's what makeup's for ^_-.
I'm wanting to know this, because I'm wanting to play Artemis. Yeah there are like 50 bajillion people trying out..
Why am I still typing...
Anyways, anyone have any info or sites on auditions and such? Thanks
wow this has been an active chat place
y did ppl stop??
is there going to be a fifth???
Dear Eoin Colfer (Or anyone else who can help me),
I love the Artemis Fowl books! I just finished decoding the first book on Friday (It was really easy, I basically read fluent gnommish from just figuring out which signs were which letters), and now I'm trying to decode the second one. I live in the U.S. though, and from what I can tell, the cover doesn't have any code on it. I really want to figure out the code for myself, so please don't just tell me what it says, but I apparently don't have the Irish cover or whatever. Does anyone know where I could translate the code in the book? Please, please, please help me!
Thank you,
Kes913
P.S.
Don't try to email me, that's not my email address, my uncle gave it to me to use for junk mail and stuff. I'm not allowed to post my real email, so that's why I'd appreciate it if you'd post any help you can give me.
Artemis Fowl rox this world. It is better than all other books, and DEFINITELY better than Harry Potter.
The world need to get its priorities sorted. Now.
First of all id like to say is that you are all on a fairy sight and inntererupting Havens communications!!!!!!!!!!!
hi all fans
Foaly, I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but "inntererupting" is spelled "interrupting." I just thought Foaly would want to make sure everything was spelled right.
WHAT does artemis wear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good question! I have no clue though, sorry. What country do you live in Foaly.X? I live in the U.S. like I said before. It's my birthday today! My golden birthday! I'm 13 on September 13th and I turned a teenager! Too bad I wasn't born at 1:00 p.m. the 13th hour! That would've been really cool! What was really cool was I got Artemis Fowl and the Opal Deception for my birthday! I've gone for two days without any books and it's been driving me nuts (I usually read a chapter book in one or two days)! Foaly.X(The person, not the centaur)? Are you a girl or a boy? I'm a girl.
See Ya,
Kes913
P.S.
I still need help on the Artemis Fowl and the Arctic Incident thing. If you're wondering what I'm talking about, look at my September 11, 2005 entry. Please help! :)
Dear Foaly.X,
I found out what Artemis usually wears while I was reading Artemis Fowl and the Opal Deception tdoay. He usually wears a dark two-piece suit.
*~*Kes913*~*
I finished the fourth Artemis Fowl book about three minutes ago!!!
*~*Kes913*~*
I just took the time to read through this whole message place (just for Artemis Fowl of course) and here are some answers for some of the questions posted this year:
To dv: The code for the 4th book is in gnommish on the bottom of the pages. I live in the U.S. thogh, so maybe it's different in other countries.
To ellianetta: I have the U.S. edition of the 4th book and all it says on the cover is "Opal wants revenge (there isn't any DNA strands though, but the gnommish is printed really lightly).
To hello: No, not all of us are from England. There have been people from Spain, England, Australia, and the U.S. from what I can tell so far.
Hope this helps,
*~*Kes913*~*
Could someone please actually talk to me? There have been messages after mine, but they're not to me or anything. Please!
Sorry about though being spelled thogh in my previous message, I must've not been looking at what I was typing.
Nighty-Night,
*~*Kes913*~*
P.S. Remember burger girl if you read this, dishwashers!
Hello. Purple monkey dishwashers. Hi kes. whatever.
Hi kes. Purple Monkey diswashers!. what ever
THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU BURGERGIRL9009!!! I finally got someone to talk to me! So burgergirl9009, have you read Artemis Fowl? They're really good books (if you like fantasy, personally, my favorite books are fantasy and preferably have magic in them), so I recommend that you read them if you haven't. I also recommend that you don't read this whole message board, burgergirl9009. For one, it takes FOREVER, and two, there are some swear words and other immature bickering that you're parents probably wouldn't want you to see. Have you been getting a lot of homework in school so far? I've been getting a lot. It stinks that we only have three minutues to get from class to class (which includes going to our lockers to get stuff AND going to the bathroom). In one of my classes, if you're not touching you're desk by the time the bell rings, you're tardy. We also only have about 20 minutes to eat lunch and have recess which is ridiculous! It's unhealthy to eat fast because you eat too much. It takes a while for you're body to tell you it's full. I usually only get 2 or 3 minutes recess tops. My friend is always telling me to eat faster, so just tell her that it's not healthy to eat fast. She tells me that she just doesn't eat as much (she stills eats pretty fast even if she doesn't eat very much).
See Ya,
*~*Kes913*~*
P.S.
Sorry about correcting your spelling Foaly.X, after reading this whole message board I've found out a lot of people have spelled things wrong. I even made a typo. Please say something to me if you're still looking at this Foaly.X.
Purple Monkey Dishwashers. Hi, kes913. I'm planning on starting the atemis fowl books soon. I also LOVE fantasy books. I'm a big fan of harry potter, and lord of the rings, (books and movies.)I was not planning on reading the entire board, because it would probably take me all day, and i'm a fast reader. I've gotton some homework, but most of my homework is just stuff that we didn't have time to do in class. I stay in the same classroom all day, but next year i'm going to have like 7 different classes. now i get 15 min. to eat and another 15 for recess. So, ya.
Later people,
**Burgergirl9009**
Hi burgergirl9009,
You are soooo lucky you have 30 minutes for lunch and recess! You can stop saying purple monkey dishwashers, I know it's you (I'm not forbidding you to say it though if you want to). I'm glad you're planning on reading the Artemis Fowl books, I'm rereading them right now because a book I requested from the library is apparently the 3rd in a series and I haven't read the 2nd yet and I don't want to skip the 2nd. I'm on the second one right now and I'm pretty sure it is the 3rd time I've read it.
Since you like fantasy books, here are some good ones:
Harry Potter (all of them)
Artemis Fowl (all of them)
Lord of the Rings (all of them)
The Water trilogy (sounds weird, I know, but really good)
Sabriel, Lirael, & Abhorsen (separate books, same series, don't know what the series is called though)
A College of Magics
Circle of Magic Series and The Circle Opens Series (separate series, same four people, Sandry, Tris, Daja, and Briar)
The Conch Bearer
The Divide, Back to the Divide, The Jinx on the Divide (separate books, same series, haven't read 3rd one yet, but I assume its as good as the others)
The Squire's Tales (I think that's what they're called, not entirely sure, they take place in King Arthur's time in Britain)
Earthsea Cycle (I've only read the first, but assume the other ones are good too)
A Great and Terrible Beauty
The Supernaturalist (also by Eoin Colfer)
The Shadow Children Books
The Land of Elyon Books (first 2 are good, 3rd is not out yet)
Dragon Rider
Inkheart
The Thief Lord
The Akhenaten Adventure
Magyk
The Warriors of Alavna
The Bartimaeus Trilogy (first 2 are good, 3rd's not out yet)
The Hollow Kingdom
The Chanters of Tremaris (first 2 are good, 3rd's not out yet)
Whispering to Witches
Peter & the Starcatchers (story about what happened before Peter Pan)
The Two Princesses of Bamarre
Spell Fall
Troll Fell
The Echorium Sequence
The Ropemaker
The Magicians of Caprona
Treasure at the Heart of the Tanglewood
Songs of Power
Clan of the Shape Changers
Dragonflight Series (I've only read the first, it is weird that it is called Dragonflight series, because the first book wasn't about a dragon, it was about a great and terrifying black unicorn from a perfect world)
There! That should keep you busy! Please let me know of any good books because I keep running out of books to read!
See Ya,
*~*Kes913*~*
P.S.
Others who are looking at this, please don't look down on me for listing books other than Artemis Fowl, believe me, the Artemis Fowl books are some of my favorites!
I just found a website that said that on the bottom of the pages of the main part of the book, Artemis Fowl and the Arctic Incident, there was centaurian writing. I have the U.S. version of the book, AND THERE IS NO WRITING ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGES! Does anyone no of a site that has the centaurian writing on it that I could translate myself? Can anyone help me?
See Ya,
*~*Kes913*~*
Hi kes913! of teh books youve said ive read all of the harry potter, lord of the rings,and shadow children, and the two princesses of bammerre. I'm just starting the first artemis fowl book. I'm guessing the code things every one is talking about are the symbol things at the bottom of each page. how the heck do you translate that? is there a web site?, or are there hints in the book?oh well i got to go.
**burgergirl**
Hey burgergirl9009,
Translating Artemis Fowl is really quite simple. I figured what what letters were for what symbols within an hour of deciding I wanted to translate it. First, you need to go to the Translating chapter. Next, you need to find the pages (26-27 in American copy) that shows tons of symbols and then the translation (THE BOOKE OF THE PEOPLE...blah, blah, blah). Then you just match symbol to letter. I.E. the first symbol, a hexagon with lines connecting every point, would be T, and so on. Hope that helps!
*~*Kes913*~*
Whats the title of the second book? what are all the other books called? (i just finished the first.) later.
**~Burgergirl~**
*PS*-Dont E-mail me, because thats not my real address
Dear burgergirl9009,
2nd book: Artemis Fowl and the Arctic Incident
3rd book: Artemis Fowl and the Eternity Code
4th book: Artemis Fowl and the Opal Deception
5th book: not out yet, supposedly called Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony
*~*Kes913*~*
P.S.
Did you like the first book? Have you decoded it yet? If you just want me to email you what the code at the bottom of the page says, tell me.
The series is like any series of its genre. It may lack sufficent proof or evidence of what it claims, but like The Lord Of The Rings, such a series doesn't need belief. It merely needs an audience. You can't read too far into this series without finding yourself in shallow water. Yes the book is shallow when it comes to technology, but the characters are complex, Artemis most so. (Stop reading if you haven't read number four) In the first book, Artemis is this deliciously manipulative child. But he's just that, a child. You see this often when ever he talks about his mother. She's hurting and doesn't remember who her own son is. That's why he lets Holly go (Well that and the gold). Artemis then has a new concern, His father. Again, you get these brief glimpses into who Artemis could be. he could be a humanitarian, or he could be a villian. The human qualities enhance during the third book but then they are wiped away. Finally Artemis realizes what he really wants, and helps Holly. The fourth book completely changes every character. Root dies, Holly re-evaluates herself, Artemis turns over a new leaf. These books may not have the best plot or style, but they have thier own genisequa(Sp?). If you don't agree, I love to argue, drop me a line.

Hi kes913!
I'm not done translating it yet, but im getting there. I liked it alot! im waiting for them to get the second book at the library. so...Ya! later!
~~**burgergirl9009**~~
Heather:
I'm sorry you don't think that the books were good through and through. In my opinion, fantasy books don't really need to make sense, they're not true! As long as they're exciting I like them. Everyone has they're own opinion, and you're entitled to yours. I still think that ARTEMIS FOWL ROCKS!
Burgergirl9009:
I'm assuming my translation directions helped. It takes forever to translate the book (well, not forever, but a long time). I think it's weird that the gnommish version of the translation where you figure out the code says "but remember this above all, I am not for those in mud that crawl, and forever doomed shall be the one, and forever doomed shall be the one," but the translation Artemis does of that says, "but remember this above all, I am not for those in mud that crawl, and forever doomed shall be the one that betrays my secrets one by one." They don't match!!! Do you think it means something?
Totally off the subject, but my thumb is very sore! Yesterday evening when I was playing an away volleyball game (I'm on the volleyball team), I jammed my thumb twice! Now it's swollen and sore. It hurts a lot if I bend it back. We have a home game tomorrow and I'm going to play in that, but I hope I don't jam it again. I'm glad you liked the Artemis Fowl book!
*~*Kes913*~*
P.S.
Type Astronomy Picture of the Day in Google (web part, not images) and click on the web address that pops up. They have some really cool pictures in space! :)
On my previous message, I addressed part of it to Heather. Then I saw that the second message of that said the same thing was written by nikki. So, the first part of my message is addressed to either Heather OR nikki.
*~*Kes913*~*
Kes913:I noticed that thing too. It's either a typo (probably not), it means something (i have no idea what it would mean, maybe when i finish decoding ill get something.), or its something to throw us off track. Who knows? If any one does, please tell us. On another note i know volley ball really hurts your hand. Ouch. Well, see ya.
~*Burgergirl9009*~
Dear Burgergirl9009,
We had another volleyball match this afternoon and we won 5 games out of 6. Technically, we won all the games because it is best out of the first 5 and we won the first 5.
Do you play any instuments? I mainly play piano and oboe. I can also play recoder, though, we learned in 4th grade music.
Have you ever been to the Renaissance Festival? We went this past weekend. It was kind of boring because everything costs money and most of the time too much money.
See Ya,
*~*Kes913*~*
Dear Burgergirl9009,
We have a volleyball tournament today! I'm pretty sure we'll be playing 4 matches, but I think we'll be playing 9 games. Have you started reading the second Artemis Fowl book yet?
Gotta Go,
*~*Kes913*~*
Our volleyball team placed third out of eight teams in the tournament!
*~*Kes913*~*
Kes913:
I haven't started teh second book yet, because they dont have it in the library. i'm not quite done decoding the first book though. Congrats on getting 3rd place.
*~*Burgergirl9009*~*
Dear Burgergirl9009,
Thanks! Do you want me to send you my second book? I could if you wanted me to...
*~*Kes913*~*
Kes913: I still haven't decoded the first book or started the second, but im going to go get the book at the library soon. In the meantime ive been reading the supernaturalist, which is every bit as good as artemis Fowl. Well... Tahts all i have to say, so bye.
~**Burgergirl9009**~
Dear Burgergirl9009,
I read the Supernaturalist a long time ago (actually, I don't know when, it might have been only a year or half a year ago) but from what I can remember it was a really good book. Right now I'm finishing reading "The Other Wind, Another Earthsea Novel" but I also need to read these books that I have right now: Tales From Earthsea, Gold Unicorn, Red Unicorn, The Pictish Child, The Jinx on the Divide, and Inkspell (sequel to Inkheart). My friend also wants me to read the Charlie Bone series, she thinks it's weird that she's telling me that I should read some books because I'm usually the one telling her she needs to read this book...and that book...and that book...!
See Ya!
*~*Kes913*~*
i have read the fourth book, and translated all the books. yall suck!!!
Dear Bob,
Exactly what do you mean by we all suck? That's not very nice. Just because we haven't translated all the books like you have doesn't mean we suck. Perhaps we started after you. Perhaps we live in a different country and don't have the right resources to translate the books. I personally don't like it when people make rude comments without thinking through the whole situation.
*~*Kes913*~*
P.S.
See how I used an "I" message?
All i know is that i hope this series never ends. Eoin Colfer kicks ass and those who are too much of a critic to realize it can write a book of their own in which they see no flaws whatsoever. that way the can be satisfied and stop complaining.
Zach: Way to go! I totally agree with you that the Artemis Fowl books rock! I agree that it would be cool if they went on forever, but it wouldn't really make sense after a while because Artemis would be an adult. I understand that people have different opinions though. You are right that people can criticize a book too much. [All who agree with me say "Aye"! :)]
See Ya,
*~*Kes913*~*
P.S.
Could you please try not to swear? Who knows how young kids are who are looking at this and some older people may not like swearing either, I for one. I can understand why you're using the "A" word though, Eoin Colfer does kick butt!
whats the code breaker for the first book?????????????????????
adrian: Just look at my September 22, 2005 09:03 PM entry to learn how to translate the first book.
Hope That Helps!
*~*Kes913*~*
Burgergirl9009: Have you read "The Cry of the Icemark" or "The Prophecy of the Stones"? "The Prophecy of the Stones" was started when the author was 12 and finished when she was 13 or 14! It's a bestseller!!!
*~*Kes913*~*
Sadiegal are you there?
Is anyone looking at this site anymore? Burgergirl? Sadiegal? Anyone?
I am!. I've been really busy. I recently finished the 4th book of Artemis Fowl. Is there going to be a 5th book? I'm kind of out of stuff to say, so see ya.
-Burgergirl9009
Hi Burgergirl9009,
I've been really busy too! We have been performing the musical "Grease." Last night we had a full house! They actually had to put extra chairs in for people and they had to turn some people away! We have another perfomance tonight. I think there is supposed to be a 5th book, it might be called "Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony," but I'm not entirely sure. I finally got my friend to start reading the AF books! She was rereading a book because she didn't have any other books to read, so I lent her my copy of the first one. I have to do my history homework now. Ick!
See ya,
*~*Kes913*~*
Burgergirl9009: Has your email address changed? I tried to email something to you and I got an email that said it failed. If it has changed just email your new one to me, since you have my email address.
*~*Kes913*~*
Does anyone know anything new about the Artemis Fowl movie?
*~*Kes913*~*
P.S.
Burgergirl9009, what are you doing for Thanksgiving? I'm at my grandparents' right now.
Artemis Fowl is a great book but, it has difficult words in it. But it still is cool.
You should see my site. I wonder if i want any coments stuff like this on my website :D
I LOVE the background on your site! It totally rocks! It's really beautiful, I can't believe you made it!

i am an idiot and i am lead by richard simmons
Dear idiot,
I can't believe you consider yourself an idiot! I guess I can't decide, since I don't know anything about you, but why would you call yourself an idiot?
*~*Kes913*~*
Did u know that the artemis fowl auditions are going to be held in vermont in january,2006? my dad is in charge of casting, so i'm going to play juliet
That's cool lola...but I thought auditions had already been held...wouldn't they be held in Europe anyway?
*~*Kes913*~*
lola I don't believe you. Sorry, just very hard to believe... :)
I will be very annoyed if Cameron Diaz ends up playing Holly Short. First of all, she is not short. Cameron is 30 something. I mean, shouldn't some short preteen be playing her? I'm even a better candiate than her. that's just rumors though...I've always wanted to get a part in the movie as Holly, and if Cameron ends up playig Holly I will smack that weman. I will hunt her down...anyways, that's just my opion, whatever your guys's is.
I agree that Cameron Diaz shouldn't play Holly. I will be very annoyed if the movie completely destroys the book.
*~*Kes913*~*
wicked. just read the 4th book. i believe that the 3rd book is the best one. Ahahahah...i love thieves...
Bakura: I think the 2nd book is the best...but the 3rd book is my second favorite. When you say you love thieves, you mean in books right? Not in real life?
*~*Kes913*~*
Hey, do you any of you know about "Two Princesses of Bamarre" Do you know if there is going to be an audition for the movie...if you can find any info. Can you please please tell me because I am dying to be in it.,..thankx a bunch....merry christmas
COOL!!! I didn't know there was going to be a movie for the "Two Princesses of Bamarre!" I loved the book! It seems like they're making a lot of movies out of books I like...Artemis Fowl, Eragon, Inkheart...but I think that's awesome! Merry Christmas! Happy Chanukkah! Happy Kwanzaa!
*~*Kes913*~*
Hi I'm rich
I think that it would be cool if their were fresh faces for Holly Short and Juliet Butler.Instead of using famous actresses, I think that my two little sisters should play Holly and Juliet .My youngest sister, Kelley should play Holly and my other sister ,Jamie play Juliet .I would show u guys pictures,but
I don't think that they would like that. I never read Artemis Fowl neither has Jamie ,but Kelley has and she loves them she owns all of the Artemis Fowl books including Artemis Fowl files .
I agree with you Rich. It would be cool to have someone new play those parts. It would definitely give them a good start in their acting career, if that's the career they want to pursue.
*~*Kes913*~*
Hi, just wondering, does anyone have artemis fowl III in spanish? From "Serie infinita" If you have, and have broken its code, is it in spanish or in english. I just can't break it, and it makes no sense in spanish... Also note that in book I the chapters' names are in english, while the ohm profecies are in spanish 0.0...they didn't do a very good job translating it all...
I loved this book! The mixture of humour, action, intelligence, excitement, and the sheer need to know what happens next combine to make a great book!
Ive been searching and searching for a good fansite ever since i read this, and ive only found one. Maybe yous will like it as well? Check it out at http://www.fangathering.com. It is a fantastic Artemis fansite, with info, news about the movie, games, fanart, forums etc. =D
I thought AF was the coolest book I've ever read... but I respect your post. Not everyone has to like the books. Most ppl who I have recommended this book to loved AF, though.
Keikolilo: I agree with you that AF is a cool book!
Has anyone read His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman?
I'm in the middle of the second dark materials book. they are awesome, but the second isn't as good as the first. My sister got me the boxed set for christmas, and i love them. so theres going to be an artemis fowl movie?cool, but i bet theyll ruin it like lots of other movies made from books. any one who read lemony snickett and then saw the movie knows what i mean
-burgergirl9009*
Yay! Burgergirl9009 is back on! Whoopee! I just finished reading all the His Dark Materials books. I don't really like the ending, but I suppose it's one of the most realistic ones. I not going to spoil it by telling though. I hope the AF movie doesn't stink and I know what you mean with the Series of Unfortunate Events movie, Burgergirl9009. That was really weird how they stuck the end of the first book on the end of the third book. Let's cross our fingers for a good Artemis Fowl movie!
*~*Kes913*~*
This is a hilarious llama song! Thanks burgergirl9009! http://albinoblacksheep.com/flash/llama.php
hey i love the book but i only have read the first one i need to know wear to find some more books i have looked and the stores should be in toronto canada perferabley in kitchner i realy need to read the rest ofd the books man i whant to know so bad what dose happen it has been driving me crazy for years know i have to know what happens and whats this i hear of a movie coming out i would luv to see it i cant wait
casey c: I'd love to help you find someplace you can get the books, but I wouldn't know anyplace in Canada because I live in the U.S. There is definitely a movie coming out. This website was posted earlier on this site and it may help you out, movie wise at least. http://www.fangathering.com
I'm pretty sure they'd have the books at a Barnes & Noble someplace. I hope you find your books!
*~*Kes913*~*
Try to read this, it's really not that hard.

Pretty cool, huh?
Excuse me, sir. My real name is Artemis, not Fowl. I loved the books so much that when I've read your comment, it really stinged. Please get over those 'errors'; it really is annoying and one more thing, don't read books you think you don't like at first, or you may because of curiosity but please, again, please, don't post your opinions just like that. Keep them to yourself; fans may sue you. . . oh, and what am I doing posting opinions myself as well? I am really unsure about this but I found no way of contacting you other than this, and am not planning to find another.
P.S. I am a female.
Oh hi, Kes913! I-um-just wondered, how do you find my first comment? Just want to say that I agree with you regarding Artemis Fowl. . . Geez, Pax!
Greetings, Artemis! If your name really is Artemis, what do they call you then(connection)? When I read your comment, I hoped you were a boy just like Artemis Fowl II. You know, admittedly, I'm jealous of your name. . . mind switching names? I still have another one and it's Diane(French equivalent of Diana who, on the other hand,is the Roman equivalent of Artemis!).
As for those who criticize Arty and Colfer, go ahead. Some who posted their opinions here are right, we vary in points of view...
I, for one, however, love the books and all other books! They're my life! Don't go criticizing me anyway, beware, my IQ Stanine is Superior*smirk*...
Oh, Artemis, I loved that word 'Pax'.... What does that mean?...
Okay, last one; check out these books:
1. Artemis Fowl 1,2,3,4,Files(of course!)
2. Eragon
3. The Eldest
4. My Life(y'know, Clinton's)
5. the Chronicles of Narnia (perhaps)
6. For those who haven't read, Harry Potter
7. Grisham's books are nice, too
With fondest regards,
Erika
Oops, I'm afraid that the previous one isn't my real address. It's this one.
Er, sorry but, guys, it is better if you go to official sites not those aurumestpotestas.com and the like.
It's Valetine's Day! How I wish I have Artemis Fowl II by my side. . . ^_^
Hi Artemis! On my computer, I can just scroll up the page to view other comments. Does your computer not do that?
*~*Kes913*~*
P.S.
Did you know? You're the first person to have talked to me directly, other than my friends. Thanks:)! You rock!
Erika, can you keep me informed on the good books you read? I'm always looking for good reads, and I run out too fast.
*~*Kes913*~*
Oh, thank you, too.Um, have you read Eragon? It really is nice + you can gain some knowledge about Norse(is it the Norse language or what?).
Well, I do love books of magic; they're majestic! Anyone there who share the same idea too? ^_^
That's so cool! I LOVE books of magic or fantasy! They're practically the only books I read. I have read Eragon and Eldest, and they're pretty good. I think it's really cool that Eragon was written when the author, Christopher Paolini was 15. If I can remember correctly, I think that Paolini said it was Norse that he used, or at least he based it on Norse, in one of his author's notes. Have you read Prophecy of the Stones? (I might be called Prophecy of the Gems in different countries.) The author, Flavia Bujor, started writing it when she was 12 or 13. Isn't that cool!?
*~*Kes913*~*
typos:)
My friend happens to be reading that. Taking your word for it, I'll read the Prophecy of the Stones. Well, I kinda trust you. Don't know why. Anyway, thanks!
Erika: Yeah...I know what you mean about not being able to trust people on the internet. They can just be total creeps. I haven't really run into anyone like that because I'm very careful, and also my parents make sure that everything I do is okay. There is no way that I can prove this to you on the internet, but I cross my heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye, that you can trust me and I'm not some creep. If you talk to anyone in my grade they could tell you that I'm completely the opposite of an internet creep (I'll even swear to God - I'm a Lutheran). More likely they'll tell you I'm creepy because I never break the rules (at least most of the time), get straight A's, and I'm probably considered a goody-goody to a lot of them.
I just finished reading Confessions of a Shopaholic. It was pretty good...even though it wasn't fantasy :). Have you read it?
*~*Kes913*~*
P.S.
Are you in any sports? I'm only in volleyball, but I absolutely LOVE it!!!
I'm into golf and badminton.
Sure! I trust that those books are good. Thanks
Erika-What grade are you in? I'm in 7th. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, I'm just curious. I'm glad that I have a studyhall this semester, last semester I didn't, but I still wish we didn't get so much homework. Luckily, this weekend I only have language and reading homework...and language is only studying for a test on Tuesday. Do you play any instruments? I play oboe.
*~*Kes913*~*
jimikitchener is not going 2 be in any movie
im his best mate for his own good i am going
to stop these rumours
Where do you live?
Haha... I think that we two are of different nationalities-something that has not occured to me before. I'm from the Philippines and am part Spanish and Japanese, but still a Filipina. Sounds odd, really, that I'm posting it here but I take that no one bothers to read our...conversation? I'm not offended, honestly, and am not offending you, either.
I'm 13, turning 14 on September 11. I hope you get my point regarding my year level with my age-just in case we really are not of the same country.
Pax!(It means peace, I saw it on our schoolpaper)
Erika
^_^
P.S. I play the piano and the guitar but, guitar kills me. ^_^
Oh, and I hope my revelation doesn't surprise you...
Erika
Erika: I'm sure people will read our conversation, I mean it's a message board, so there are going to be other people reading it. Just don't post anything too personal. I live in the U.S. Know what's so cool! You're only two days older than me! I was born September 13,1992. Isn't that awesome! I'm mainly Scandinavian in my heritage. I'm over 50% Norwegian, but I'm also Swedish, Danish, German, and maybe a little bit Prussian. I just think it's so cool that we're so close in age. Thanks for saying you play piano and quitar. That reminded me that I also play piano. (I don't know how I could've forgotten, since I play piano usually more than once each day. Oh well...)
See Ya,
*~*Kes913*~*
P.S.
I think it's cool that you're a Filipina. Just recently in history class, we did a debate on the Philippine Islands annexation to the U.S. I was an Anti-Imperialist, thank goodness - that was my view in the first place, so I fought to not annex the Philippines. Have you learned about that yet? It was right after the Spanish-American War.
Are you still there Erika? I mean if I offended you or anything, just let me know. I'm just wondering.
Kes913: I'm really sorry for not visiting this site earlier; I was quite busy. No, I'm not offended or anything. I really am busy for the moment.
Best,
Erika
I know what you mean. We've been getting lots of homework in 7th grade lately. Blechh...
We had a snow day yesterday. It was really nice (I read for seven hours...he-he). Have you ever seen snow?
Gotta Go,
*~*Kaia*~*
Nope. What's it like? ^_^
What we have here is terrible heat... then it would rain, then lightning, then thunder! Haha. It's a pity. If this condition were to continue, I can't do some stargazing again. Try it; it's fun.
I guess that would be all for now; I still have to finish 2 presentations, and I have to pass more literaries + other articles.
Ingat<it is Filipino for take care
Erika
Well, let's just say snow is cold. It can be slippery or heavy or sticky or not. Sometimes you can build stuff like snowmen and snowforts, but sometimes it just 'crumbles' in your gloves. You can go sledding or snowboarding or skiing on it. I've only been sledding and skiing on it though. We get thunderstorms in the summer. Where I live we get a wide variety of weather. I've tried stargazing, not usually for a long time, but if I'm outside at night I look up at the stars. Sometimes it makes me shiver because it's so beautiful and creepy at the same time. It's creepy because...just think about how far away they are and how HUGE they really are. Just think, even though we live so far away, we still see stars...maybe even some of the same ones.
On another note, have you read the book "The Outsiders"? It was written when the author was 16. It's not fantasy, but it's still really good. We're reading it in Reading class right now. I've finished it.
Ingat :)
*~*Kes913*~*
You really love reading, don't you? I can't blame you, and I won't be surprised if you are to have your own masterpiece someday. Anyway, you've inspired me to read more books but I'm afraid I could only have them this summer. My mother has been giving me sermons about me reading. Oh and, thank you for your suggestions; they're highly appreciated.
Erika
Yup! I really love reading. When you say your mom's been giving you sermons about reading, is she scolding you or something? For reading when you're supposed to be doing something else? I mainly just get teased by my family for reading so much, because if they ask me to do something I usually get it done (even if it is done after an answer of, "Just a minute..."):)
So...are you saying that you can only read in the summer? Or just that you're too busy with other things to read at all?
See Ya,
*~*Kes913*~*
P.S.
We had another Snow Day today! Twice in one week! And no...I'm not reading as much today. :)
I do what my parents ask me to: I study my lessons and all, but they still want me to focus on other stuff-anything that involves physical fitness! Golf and badminton are enough(I think), right? *sigh*... Who knows anyway? My parents might change their minds and, poof! Haha.
Next Time,
Erika
P.S. Mind sending me some snow? ^_^
uhm, enjoy yourself.
Yeah, I'm supposed to do more physical fitness stuff too, but I eat healthier than lots of kids my age and I'm not fat, so hey! Besides, I don't really like getting all bundled up to go do something 'physical' in winter. When it's nice out, hey! I'll go play volleyball, no problem. I like snow, but sometimes I think it would be nice to be able to play volleyball all year round. Well, we can't always get what we want, can we?
Oh...I never thought of asking this until now, but do you have any pets? I have two cats, Saturn and Mercury. (They came with those names.)
I'll check back later,
*~*Kes913*~*
P.S.
I would send you some snow, but I think it would melt before it reached you. He-he :)
i just wish that there was a fifth book coming up. or mabye even ten more artemis fowl books!
Marie Jamail: I'm pretty sure that there is a fifth book coming out. I'm pretty sure that it is called Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony. You could probably google it if you wanted to know more.
*~*Kes913*~*
These books rock, sure, there are some awkward parts, but on the whole, these books are a refreshing modern break from the books I usually read. A word of advice, if you are looking for something similar to Artemis Fowl, do not try the Alex Rider books. They are exceedingly unbelievable and the writing so numb that half the time, I couldn't tell where the main character was, and what villain he was singlehandedly vanquishing this time.
Feldspar McGillicuddy: I'll take your advice.
Erika: I just realized that earlier you said that Eragon was a good book. Did you know that they're making it into a movie? Apparently, the boy who is going to play Eragon hasn't even acted in a movie before, only plays. I think that's pretty cool.
It's been a while since I've visited here but it's still so popular!
Anyone else think the fourth one didn't live up to expectations? It was good but.. really not that good.
And I'm still waiting for the film!
Yeah...I also thought the fourth one wasn't quite as good as the others. I think the fifth book is supposed to come out in September this year. Hopefully, the movie will be out next year. At least, that's what I can find on its release.
*~*Kes913*~*
Happy April Fools' Day everyone! ...No, I don't have any jokes or tricks to play.
Yep! There is definitely going to be an Artemis Fowl movie!

I also see that you found the symbols that I wrote.
lol ok srry
so wuzz up yall any in fo on dat movie
i ve read all the books and decoded the message all in a day and now when i look for a site that tells when the movie comes out i fine this and i say "wow!" and ill be posting every day on the movie info
Thanks, grant. All I really know about the movie right now is that it will be released sometime this year. I wish that there were trailers for it already.
*~*Kes913*~*
PLEASE READ:im not being in artemis fowl theres been some kind mistake i was never meant to be in it. some one was spreading fowl rumours about me.
I believe you, Jimi. It's just like some people to spread rumors. No offense or anything, but I'd never even heard of you until I read this site. Besides, I figured people were making stuff up anyway. I mean, multiple people were pretending to be Eoin Colfer. Yeah, right. And I'm saying this assuming you really are Jimi Kitchener. I checked what your email was and it seemed believable, but you never know.
*~*Kes913*~*
Ummm...I don't really speak German, but I'm going to guess that you said "Good site! Thank you for Information!" ??? Perhaps???
*~*Kes913*~*
Automobile: Do you speak English by any chance? It's really hard for me to try to understand German.
Nie Verstand..., das Sie auf Deutsch sprechen können. Ich fand einen Aufstellungsort, der von englischem zum Deutschen und von Deutsch-Englischem für mich übersetzt. Recht kühl, huh?
*~*Kes913*~*
Ich weiß, was ich vorher merkwürdig war, aber das ist nicht, was ich auf englisch schrieb. Der Übersetzer tat den. Wenn Sie Englisch sprechen, würde es besser sein, Englisch zu schreiben.
*~*Kes913*~*
For those of us who don't speak German, the reason I started typing in German is because I found a translation site.
http://dictionary.reference.com/translate/text.html
It's kind of cool. I think it is probably really good to use if you are trying to learn how to cound in a different language.

Hello? Anybody out there? La,la,la...I'm getting bored.
Hi! I need your help to resume each chapters of '' The supernaturalist '' If somebody can help me please..do it! You can send me an e-mail or just answer me on this website! Thank you!
Marika: What do you mean by resume? I have the book, so I can probably help.
*~*Kes913*~*
aye this is a great series reading the posts it sounds like you guys anilise the books in depth while this is cool it kinda ruins the hole idea of a fictional book
sorry i meant to say it undermines the whole purpose of a fictional piece of literature
READ MINE COZ AM SAD!
bet that got ur attention, b4 i actually say nething about this book i wnt 2 piss off as mne ppl as i possibly can! Firstly for the redfox guy it explains wot his name actually means in the 3rd 1 so up yours, secondly 4 that Jhondoe dude who by the way ther is a fourth book genius and finally my condolences to Saria, nice that u actually red the book, a bit sad that u think ur a fairy and finally u nid 2 check ur grammar. U put Weather as in rain and sunshine insted of Whether as in options stupid ass. nice try tho. well i'd love to piss some ppl off bt well lets jst say i dnt care nd am tryin 2 tlk 2 my girlfriend on msn.
yours kind of creeped outly yet slightly embaressed 4 u all 4 takin this seriously of my god!
cheesy-vesey@msn.com which by the way isnt my real email so i dnt wnt ne of u freaks emailing me
Why in the world are you trying to piss off as many people as you can, JEVB? That's not very kind of you. Besides, you told people to check their grammar and their spelling. Well, people in glass houses should not throw stones. You had some spelling errors also. Now, I'm not trying to be mean to you or anything, I'm just pointing out your errors in good humor. Yes, many people do take this site seriously, but I am on here just to be able to talk to people about the book and other books. I am an avid reader, so I enjoy discussing books. If you would actually like to discuss books, I would be happy to do so with you and others, but I would appreciate it if you would refrain from using put-downs toward others and swearing. Thank you!
Sincerely,
*~*Kes913*~*
Hey i just want to say that im glad i found this site i have lookjed for a site that actully talks about the books but this is the only oe i have found.well i hope that they finish the movie soon and u might be able to see a movie trailer on yahoo video well i'll be postiing sometimes.well peace out

i think i have is that the 1 bout the drogon
well good night
Grant: Yep! There's a dragon named Saphira in them. There making a movie off of those books now. Pretty cool, huh!
Compared to Artemis Fowl, J. K. Rowling SUCKS. Seriously, I wonder why everyone seems to like her anyways... She's not even on my top 10 favourite authors list, and she wouldn't be on my top 30 favourite authors list if I made one. Artemis Fowl seems actually realistic, and you can (almost) believe that tapping horse code in your back yard would work. I mean, seriously, there are tons of authors that deserve to be better treated than JKRowling.
You're entitled to your opinion, zyy321dory. But I have to disagree on some points. Personally, I like J.K. Rowling. My favorite authors are Tamora Pierce, J.K. Rowling, Eoin Colfer, and Terry Goodkind, but I like almost every book I read. I agree with you though that there are a lot of authors who aren't recognized for their works. I think both the Artemis Fowl books and Harry Potter books are realistic in their own ways. But there are definitely things in each of them that aren't realistic. That's why they are fantasy/sci-fi fiction books. They don't need to be entirely believable.
can some1 tell me the decoded fourth message im waaaay too lazy!
now!
im waiting, by the way i read the first 4 books in 7 hrs
moo cow dob bod saf get huy jno lud hac toy fah uvn
happy nonsense day!!!!!!!!!!!!
argh!!!! answer what is the secret message for #4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The message on the cover of the book?
no on the inside
on the bottom
GREAT BOOK!!! uuuugggggggghhhhh u guys r so picky!!!!! who cares that his names artemis and that it doesnt look like egyptian?! what about the story part!?
You know? I don't think I ever translated that. I did translate the first book's code though and the fourth one uses the same code. I try to find time to translate the fourth book sometime soon and then I'll post it. Is that okay?
*I'll*
Okay, I had enough time right now to translate it so I did.
Caution: To those who would like to translate the fourth book for themselves, do not read ahead.
A recruitment letter from the centaur Foaly, technicoalconsultant to the Lower Elements Police. Trusted ally, if you have decoded this gnommish message, then you are a deputy officer in the Lower Elements Police. You will not be aware of this fact because it is the practice of the LEP to mindwipe our human allies. We do this so they cannot remember being recruited. If you cannot remember the fairy people or our underground city then you cannot betray our existence to the greedy humans. Of course, not all humans are greedy. You, deputy, are a noble member of your species. And clever too. We only recruit the best. Our intelligence department studied your file and concluded that you were suitable for LEP membership. At the moment, you are only a deputy officer. To become a fully fledged officer you must complete four tasks. Number one, decode this message. Something you are well on your way to completing. Number two, save the life of a member of another species. You can complete this task in any number of ways. Open a window to release a trapped fly. Build a bird bath in your garden. Release a mouse from a trap. Number three, achieve a perfect score on a school test or homework assignment. In this job, you need to be smart as well as fit. Number four, wash yourself every day for a week - this is a difficult assignment especially for human boys who do not like contact with water. If you are going to work underground often in cramped tunnels, you will appreciate a partner who does not smell like a hermit dwarf. Once you have completed these tasks you must summon your recruiting officer in the ancient fashion. Go to your back yard or nearest green area. Make sure you are not being watched. Find a soft spot of ground and burrow a six-inch hole with a broom handle or short stick. When your hole is ready tap out the letters L E P in horse code. The code for L E P is as follows, L: tap tap wiggle tap E: wiggle wiggle tap P: tap wiggle drill. Do this at least a hundred times and our underground sensors will pick up the vibration and send an LEP officer with your uniform and orders. Good luck, deputy. Foaly.
I took the liberty to add some punctuation and capitalization to make it easier to understand.
I like Harry Potter Books and Artemis Fowl books both a lot, but I think I like Artemis Fowl a little better and strongly disagree with the first paragraph, thank you very much Mr. First-Paragraph- Writer.
Yeah, I also disagree with the first paragraph, but everyone's entitled to their opinions. Besides, I pretty much enjoy every book I read.
ty very much i just got to it now so dont feel bad. thanks for the puncutation.
oh has the 5th book come out yet... idf there is 1
i personally think that the artimis fowl books are some of the greatest ever writen. i am obsessed. i NEED a 5th book. if anyone has any information on wether or not there is to be a fith book, please email me. I MUST KNOW!!! I MUST HAVE IT!!!!!
ok thanks.
Aqua
Your welcome, minq8. Yeah, I figured you just hadn't checked back here yet. I put punctuation in because the instructions for tapping out L E P in horse code were really hard to understand otherwise.
Minq8 and Aqua: Yes, there is going to be a fifth book. I'm pretty sure it's called "Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony." If you need more information, just search for it on google.
Great news: The 5th Artemis Fowl book, "The Lost Colony" is scheduled to be released on September 15, 2006 in USA.
Sweet! That's only two days after my birthday!
¡Hola, Kes913!
How are you? It's been quite a while since I posted a message here. So, um, it is true then, that there is a fifth and it would be called The Last Colony. It is very nice that it is to be out this year but, will it be the last? Soy solamente curioso.
Vea el ' ya,
Erika
I'm fine! It's cool that you're posting again. I'm pretty sure that the title of the fifth book and it's release date are true. I'm don't really speak Spanish, but I have found a translation site. I'm guessing you only said that you are only curious.
*~*Kes913*~*
I would just like to say, that i think At\rtemis Fowl ROCKS!!!!!!
theyare really good book, full of fu-wait i dont want to sound like a blurb...
i also think that i would like to meet Artemis Fowl, because:
1. i love the irish accent thing, i think it sounds soooo beautiful, i could listen to it all day, it is one thingh i would like to do one day , travel to Irelnad.
and
2. Artemis Fowl sounds really sexy!!!!
the dark hair thing is exactly what i like, he sounds sooo handsome, even in book one, id just like to eat him up!
but these will never happen becasue he isnt real...
something i tell my self everday...
but it's still nice to dream.
and another thing i would like to say, to all those people who are reading this, and all the other messages,
GET A LIFE
im sure there are plenty of other things to do with your time than sit here and read a website full of comments, like play runescape for examle (www.runescape.com)
it is the best, either that or neopets (www.neopets.com)
that is also a great site.

Artemis Fowl fan: I'm glad you like Artemis Fowl, I also think that they are great books. I don't think that I'm allowed to play runescape, but I do have neopets account. I hardly ever play it though. You are entitled to your opinion, but I think that the people who post on this site do have lives. There is usually at least a day or so between comments and I don't sit at the computer refreshing the screen all day. I do other stuff too. I can't speak for everyone, but I doubt that anyone is on this site all day long. I just check this site whenever I get on the internet. Now, I'm not trying to offend you or anything, I'm just stating my opinion. I actually think you're pretty cool. :)
*~*Kes913*~*
Hi all, Again.
*~*Kes913*~*, i'm glad you finally read my note. i wasn't trying to offend anybody either, to all those people reading, **I** was just trying to say that there are other things to do than read comment sites. I was not taking a stab at you *~*Kes913*~* , for saying that you dont have a life either, and by the dates on the replys you dont spend your life on here, which is good to hear!!! i think its pretty cool that you've done this site(if you have done this site) though may i sugest a change of colors, the puke green thing isn't really going to bring people to this site...
You sound pretty cool yourself :P though i hope you just didn't say that to try and humble yourself to me...
Why wouldn't you be able to play runescape?
i don't really gon on neopets anymore either, it's kind of boring, it was interesting when i was littler though.
i'm sorry to all those people who were offended by my message earlier, i was kind of in a grumpy mood, i'd been "grounded" (of sorts) for the first time EVER so i was grouchy...
Thanks for listening,

Sorry about that, it posted twice, i have no idea why!?!?!?!?!
Wow! I'm flattered that you think I made this site! Actually, I found it when I was searching for Artemis Fowl information last September. To tell the truth, I have no idea how to make a website, although I would like to make my own website.
I wouldn't be able to play runescape because my parents are protective. (Which isn't bad.) I'm not allowed in chat rooms and this is one of two websites where I'm allowed to post things.
I'm sorry you were grounded! :( Since it was your first time, I take it you are normally a very well behaved person. I've never been grounded, but I did get time-outs when I was younger.
I don't know if there is anyone here from Australia, but I'm from the United States.
About your message being posted twice, that's happened to me before. I think it's just a glitch in the website or something.
*~*Kes913*~*
Hi, Kes913!
You don't know how to create a website, then? Same here, so join the club. But I really think it is cool that someone thinks you made this site.
Oh, by the way, I've heard that Eragon will be on the cinemas this December.

Forgive me for posting twice. It must be an error of some sort.
Erika
Yeah, I heard Eragon's coming out in December too! Doesn't that rock! I can't wait!
The posting twice thing is most definitely an error of some sort, more than one person is having trouble with it.
Hi, um....what can i say...i love reading Artemis Fowl books, i think they are really interesting.
For the ppl who posted on top of this post ^^^^
i am from Australia???why...???
I am from Chile came to australia i speak spanish german japanese and english...
Artemis Fowl book's are great, and like many of the ppl on this forum i would have to say it probably is one of the only book's i like to re-read more than several times .lol.I probably sound crazy.....O.W

I think An Artemis Fowl Fan asked if anyone was from Australia because she was also from Australia. I live in the U.S. and I only speak English fluently, but I can also speak a little German (counting + a little bit more), Spanish (mainly counting), French (counting 1-10), and Norwegian (how to say "1,000 thanks). And I don't think you sound crazy.
Wow. So i just finished the Opal Deception. I started late last night. - and immediately i am searching for a key to crack the codes in each book. i appreciate those who have already translated it. but i would like a key (so i can do it too :)..) I live in the US and do not see any Gnommish in the 3rd book. any help would be nice.
it took a while to read these four hundred and change messages. I have never even heard of this site before. It just popped up in the search engine. Well, any help would be greatly appreciated.
i luv the Artemis Fowl books.it rules and i'm hawaiian 2.the person who asked if anyone ever tried 2 read the gnomish writing at the bottom of every book. i would like to say that i didn't but i read the gnomish writing in the Artemis Fowl Files at the bottom of the 2 extra stories in that book. the only thing they said was The Artemis Fowl Files over and over again.
i hope they make a movie out of the artemis fowl series. but,i hope they actually make the movie like the book.oh and does anyone know what D'Arvit means?Please somebody tell me.
SOFTBALL STAR
SOFTBALL STAR again. i just wanted to say that i just fooled u readers.i'm not hawaiian.i wish i was though.sorry.that doesn't really matter. but i just wanted to say that.i mean write that 2 imform u.

hi,
well, i'm doing a computer class at school, about how to make html, and i've almost finished the work booklet, so soon i will be able to make my own website... probably...
yes i am from australia, nsw to be precise...(is that how you spell it???)
what else has been happening in the world of other people??? please tell me!!! i have nothing else to do, at ALL!!!!!
i'm going to come out with it, caz, i can't be bothered writing "An Atremis Fowl Fan," every time, i want to post something, i just did that, so you know, internet security and stuff...
my name is Grace!!! hi evey one!!!!
lol, :P
im such a retard!!!
Bye!!! till next time, i'll be here!!!
Grace, you are not a retard! Yes, that's how you spell Australia. dan1988, I have the code, but I don't know how I could get it to you. I have seen the code and what letter each picture is on the internet. I'd maybe go to Eoin Colfer's website or something like that. You can also figure out the code if you have the first book. Go to the two pages where it shows in Gnommish what is in the Book (the fairy book or whatever it's called, I can't remember off the top of my head seeing as I haven't read the books in a while), and what the Book says in English. Then just substitute the first picture for the first letter and so on. That's how I figured it out. I live in the U.S. too, so I sympathesize with you for there not being any code in the third book. :)
hi!
i';m just being stupid, that's what i do! call myself a retard or whatever, all my friends and i do it!! were sooooo weird.
what do you mean, there are no letters at the bottom of the page???
i have some, they're all lines and stuff..
my friend worked them out, for the begining thatnkyou thing in the book, where it had it in english and the lines...
hmmmm... is it just an american thing?
so... what else has been happening in the world of... everyone????
please tell me!!!
Grace
Hey!Sorry ,my english is weak,but I want too said,that artemis is super-book,I have readed all parts ( just 4th) and I love this series!!!In Poland
is that very popular book! thx
wow! i didn't think the book went that far!!!!
kes913... looks like your... thing(even though you calm it's not your, but i'm sure it is) looks like it's pretty dam popular!!!
polish boy, your english is perty good! actually VERY GOOD!!! dod you learn it at school??
sorry i just want a friend or two, or three ... for a different country form Australia!!!, it would be really cool , but apparentally none of yous love me!!! caz your not replying!!

holiday's are coming up, so i'll have nothing else to do!!!
ohohohoh!!! guess what!!! i get my braces of in ...(-counting on calender-) 23 days!!!! yay me!!!
oh, seeing as this is an Artemis Fowl apreciation website, i would just like to say that i think that they should have a movie, with REAL people, but i've been trying to think of someone who would be a good Artemis Fowl, i think, maybe Daniel Radcliffe, or that guy (Claus) from serious of unfortunate events... he's hot!!!
and maybe for butler... Vin Deisel????
i don't know...
hmmmm...
ohohohohoh!!! has anyone read The Looking Glass Wars???? that is the BEST BOOK EVER!!!!
ok... sorry...hmmm...errr...
bye!!!

Hi!
Just wondering whether Artemis is a part of Mr. Colfer's personality or purely out of Mr. Colfer's imagination? . . . Or something? Una vez más mi curiosidad consiguió el mejor de mÃ.
^_^
Erika
Grace: I-um-am not being rude nor am I trying to offend you but, isn't it a 'series' of unfortunate events?
Peace!
Erika
why does every one TRY NOT OFFEND ME????
it's not going to happen, it's not like i'm going to bit you head off or something.
my spelling abilities are REALLY REALLY BAD, i mean i realy CAN NOT spell, so yeah it most likely is 'series' no, DEFFINATELY is!!!
:P
what did you write before, erika??? the stuff that isn't english???
hmmmm, thats an interesting point... about Artemis... i think it might be true, (it's part of him...) hmmm, have to think about that...
Grace
what has been happening today, everyone???
what did you do today???
well, i worked last night. very exciting that was...
and today it's muffy day at school,and red day, but i dont have anymoney to spend!!!:(
it's very sad,
tell me what's been happening with yous!!!!

incase you forgot...:D
Hi Grace! Sorry I haven't writing. I was gone this weekend, but now I'm back. I think the letter thing is just an American thing. Which really stinks because I like figuring out stuff like that.
Actually, this site really isn't mine. Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye I swear it's not mine. Really. If you look back, I didn't even start posting on it until September 2005.
I feel sorry for you. I'm glad I don't have to get braces. I'm quite lucky actually. I don't have to get braces, I've never had any teeth pulled, and I've never had any cavities.
I'll be your friend, but I don't think I can be your pen pal. I doubt my parents would let me.
I don't think Daniel Radcliffe or the actor who plays Klaus could be Artemis because they've already played a famous book character so they're already identified with that character. It'd be kind of weird having Daniel be both Harry and Artemis, don't you think?
I haven't read the Looking Glass Wars, but I will, now that you've mentioned it. I'm always looking for good books to read and I have a HUGE list. It'll take me a while to get through them all. I recommended the Sevenwaters Trilogy and the Sword of Truth Series.
I like your thought about Artemis, Erika. Wouldn't that be interesting if Artemis was part of Colfer's personality? Is this what you said in Spanish? (Once again my curiosity obtained the best one of me.)
You still have school today, Grace? In the summer? And on Sunday?

Sorry about the double post, but I think I know why it happened. While my original post was sending, I noticed I needed to change recommended to recommend so I hit the stop icon (red X)changed it and sent it again. Whoops! :)
I think that whoever made the site posted the first comment, the one about Artemis Fowl being lazy. I obviously do not agree with this statement because the Artemis Fowl books are some of my favorites.
I think that Rollo Weeks (Scipio in 'The Thief Lord') would make a good Artemis. Too bad he's too old for the part. :(
hi,
who's that Rollo Weeks guy??? never heard of him...
but it'd have to be someone without thet "annoying american accent' :P
this site has problems... major problems... i think it needs some MAJOR help!!!
i don't think my parents would let me have a pen friend either... but it could be a secret pen friend relationship... by email...
it is now 22 days!!! until my braces off!!!! it is a very specia occasion!!!!
it is acutally the middle of winter, on a monday, in Australia.
do you's guys, in America, REALLY have no school uniforms??? and locker??? i would REALLY like to know??? caz none of us Ozzies know if those rumors are true...
hmmm, what else, that;s about it..
oh i have a friend, named Emily, (all wave to Emily) and she would like to say hi to everyone, caz were in metal work and we're supposed to be finding some junk on the internet about designs or whatever, like we listen...
she would also like to know if she could post messages on this site, but she hasn't read any of the books yet...
where did you go, that therer wasn't a computer???
Grace
hi,
i was just reading the above comments,
and SOMEONE, obiously someone with issues, said that tom felton would make a good Artemis. He's soooo spastic, he would DEFFINATELY not make a good artemis.
yukky!!!!
i still think liam aiken would make a good artemis, he's only 16
Grace
Rollo Weeks plays Scipio in The Thief Lord movie. (They made a movie off the book by Cornelia Funke. It's quite good.) Don't worry, I don't think he has an American accent. You know, there are different accents even within the U.S. I have a different accent than my cousins. Type in "Rollo Weeks" in Google Images, include the quotation marks, and you should be able to see him.
The secret pen friend relationship wouldn't work either because I don't have my own email address, I use the same one my parents and sister use. I want my own email address though.
Yeah, I kind of forgot about the whole different season thing with the U.S. and Australia. Whoops!
The uniform thing in the states depends. Some schools have uniforms, some don't. Mine doesn't and I'm glad. I can't speak for all schools, but I do have a locker. Not now of course, because it's summer for me. At my school system, the elementary school (kindergarten through grade 4) doesn't have lockers. Middle school (grades 5-8) does. The 5th and 6th graders have small lockers, about half the size of a normal locker. 7th and 8th graders have full sized lockers. High school (9-12) also has full sized lockers.
I don't do metal work in school yet, but we do have shop, a.k.a. Industrial Arts or Industrial Technology. This past school year I made a small wooden box with a group, and a wall shelf and CO2 car by myself. I'm pretty sure it'd be okay for Emily to post, because it seems like the guy (or girl) who made the site hasn't posted anything or changed anything in a while and there doesn't seem to be any rules. I'd just recommend that she reads the books soon just in case.
I went to a cabin owned by some friends of ours. They did have a laptop, but it didn't have internet access.
Yeah, I agree with you that Liam Aiken would make a good Artemis. I still don't know ... never mind, I just read some more stuff on him. So he played Klaus in A Series of Unfortunate Events? I never would have guessed from the picture I found of him. I think he kind of looks like Rollo Weeks, a little bit at least. Still, I think they should choose someone who isn't already associated with a movie/book character.
g'day, all those ozzies out there... and ...g'day to all those out there that aren't ozzies.
you could make a email address, on hotmail or something, say you are old enough now, and that you are very resonsible...
isn't it hard to pick out something different EVERY day??? our uniform is REALLY boring, navy blue polo shirts, navy blue jumpers and navy blue, dark blue and yellow checkered pants, all with the yellow school emblem on it, (except the pants)
i want a LOCKER!!!!! actually, Emily and i want lockers!!!!! we have to carry our bags around ALL day!!! it's really heavy
we also hate our metal work teacher- i'll tell you the story later, i have metal work again in the computers, caz the bus is here,
finish later...
Grace
I don't think my parents would let me make my own email address. I've asked them before and they don't seem to think I need one. If I just went ahead and did it, I'd get in big trouble and it'd show to them that I'm not responsible (even though I'm a lot more responsible that a lot of the kids in my grade). Besides, it's not like me to go behind my parents' back. I feel all guilty if I do that.
It isn't that hard to pick out something new every day. I just choose my clothes the night before, right before I go to bed. I probably need to get rid of some of my clothes. I have a closet full of long sleeved shirts, sweatshirts, and sweaters. My dance recital costumes from years past are also stored there. I have a drawer full of t-shirts and a drawer full of jeans, capris, and shorts. So yeah, I have a lot of clothes.
I'd actually like to be able to carry our backpacks around to our classes. I'd put what I needed for a class in my backpack and leave the rest in my locker. It'd be so much easier than carrying it just my hands. Too bad we can't. They're afraid we'll sneak in weapons or something. Last school year, I usually took stuff for two classes in a row and I'd have a binder I took to every class. I was frequently accused of carrying my entire locker with me. I told them I wasn't, but oh well.
I forgot to ask something. Forgive my ignorance, but what is a jumper? We Americans don't often use that term. Ginny asking, "Has anyone seen my jumper?" in one of the Harry Potter movies is what my mind keeps jumping to, but I can't seem to put my finger on what it is. It's bugging me really badly too. Is it a sweater or jacket of some kind or what? You must think I'm really stupid, I don't even know what a jumper is, but oh well...
Did you find a picture of Rollo Weeks?
hi all, again,
sorry i lied about the metal work lesson, i have IT instead.
a jumper is 'kinda' like a sweater, even though i'm not enirely sure what that is. it is made out of material, with no zips, or buttons.
isn't it hard to not wear the same thing twice in about a fornight, maybe not, by the sound of the amount of clothes you have...
Having to carry around all our books around is NOT good thing!!!! we have to carry EVERYTHING around, all our books and recess, lunch and change of shorts for PE and our books for roll call each morning, it's a real hassle, because it's really heavy!!!
do you's guys have a lunchroom, where you buy your lunch and have it all on a tray and stuff??? all i've ever heard about that is what i've seen in movies.
sorry i'm asking all these questions, but i'm really interested.
Emily said that it would be really cool if she could start, and she said that she'd like to read the book, (i told her what they were about, and she thought they sounded exciting) but she also said to tell you that she's very lazy, and wouldn't be bothered to read them, even though i offered to lend them to her.
but i'll keep working on her...
what time do you start school???
oh oh oh!!! what's summer like there??? and what's snow like, i've never seen snow before!!!
i'll just look for Rollo Weeks now...
ooohhhh...hhmmm, i don't know, i think he's do the part, if he was 16 or something... but Liam aiken is HOT AS!!!!
Don't you think???
you should keep asking for an email address... i rekon it's kind of a nessesisity...
how old are you??? to young for a email???
hhmmm, sorry, you don't have to anwswer ALL of these questions if you don't want too, but i would be nice...
how are your holidays??? what have you been doing???
ooopps!!! sorry, more questions...
Grace
Don't worry, I actually kind of like answering all of your questions. Thanks for answering my jumper question. My school does have a lunchroom or a cafeteria (we call it either of those). We don't pay money each day. Instead we have a lunch account that we pay into at the beginning of the year and then pay again if we run out. We just tell the lunch lady our number after we've gotten our food. 7th and 8th graders can buy extra stuff like cookies and chips and krispie bars and the lunch lady just take takes that amount away from our account. School starts at different times around the U.S., but my school starts at 8:00am.
Where I live summer can range anywhere from the high sixties to the nineties. AND in winter, I live in a place where we get snow! I think I live in the perfect place because we get hot summers and cold winters and we don't really get any bad natural disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes. Hmmm...how to describe snow...well, it's cold. Sometimes it sticks to itself so you can make snowballs and the like and sometimes it just falls apart. Is that good enough for you?
I'm 13.
I'll answer more of your questions later. I have to go babysit.
hi !!!
are you really 13??? that's about the right age for an email isn't it???
i hope when you said 60-90 you meant Farinheit(how ever you spell it) because that's pretty hot Celcious(i don't know how to spell that either)
what's a krispie bar?
is it fun makeing a snow person... that looks like fun...
i don't like babysitting, i've only done it a few times, and the children are EVIL i tell you EVIL!!!
lol
i have a cold! i'm staying at home today, so i have nothing else to do... but by a freak chance, Emily's sick as well, so that's good, we can message each other. i'm not sure but i think at the moment i look like rudalf...
my other friend has gone to Sydney for a few days, and i won't see him untill the holidays end, (19 July). i tried to sneek into his suitcase, but it didn't work. it was me or his teddy, and teddy one... grrrr. i'll get that bear one day....
actually it's his fault i'm sick, because i was eating recess(my chocolate chip bicci) and he leaned accross me and called this guy a ...(language) gay slut, which seems to be his favourite saying at the moment... then i ate my bicci, after it was gone he told me that he'd spat on it!!! and now i have his cold! not fair!!!
you should still keep asking for a email anyway...
8:00 am is early to start school. we start at 9:00am...
i think that's about it for the momment... is ti easier to have your lunch like that???
that's about the only question i have left...
lol
Grace
Yeah, I'm really 13. I think I'm going to ask for an email address as a birthday present. I think that would be reasonable.
Yeah, I meant Fahrenheit.
Making a snowman is fun, but I don't do it that often. I don't like getting all dressed up in snowpants, and a coat, and boots, and a hat. It takes too long.
I've only babysat two family. In both families they have two girls and all the girls are really nice. The ones I babysat today kept saying I was the best babysitter in the world, no wait, I was the best babysitter in the universe! Then, when it was time for me to go, she said I have to stay with them for five centuries. They're adorable.
I feel sorry for you. You're sick! You look like Rudolph? Poor you! :(
Is a bicci a cookie? Or what? I've never seen or heard the term bicci before.
I'd like to start school at 9:00am. Then I could sleep-in later! :)
I don't know exactly how to answer your lunch question. Well, a menu is sent out with the school's newsletter, so we know what we're having on certain days. If I don't like what we're having on a certain day, my mom packs me a lunch. (Yeah, I know, I'm spoiled. My mom packs my lunch for me.) But yeah, it probably is easier just to get your lunch at school. You guys bring your own lunches everyday, right?
I'm a bit confused. You said you were eating recess? Huh? Were you eating at recess or is recess something else? At my school, recess is where we go outside and play basketball or volleyball or just talk.
Whoops! I just realized I skipped one of your questions. A krispie bar is short for a rice krispie bar. The brand is Kellogg's. If you typed in 'rice krispie treats + Kellogg's' in Google images, you should be able to see some of them.
Are you 13 too?
You know, I should be able to think up some questions to ask you, since you are asking me so many questions (don't worry, I don't mind), but I can't really seem to think of any.
Sorry I didn't write back sooner. For some reason, I couldn't get on the internet for the longest time. Finally I turned the computer off for a while. Then I turned it back on at least half an hour later, and I was able to get on. It was weird.
I just thought of a question. What's your heritage. I'm Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, German, and maybe a bit Prussian.
I have another idea. Let's figure out time change stuff so we know when we're most likely to be on. This site says I posted at 10:03PM. I was really posting at 9:03PM. How about you?
hi!
getting it for a birthday present woould be cool, i guess, but seing as i have 3 and i just got the because i could, it's not a very special gift... but thats to me.
a bicci is a cookie (kinda, whats a cookie???) it's like an ozzie slag for biscuit... kinda
i have to get up a 6:00 anyway, caz i have heaps of stuff to do before the bus comes at 8:00.
those girls sound awsome. the one's i babysit, two boys and a girl, are little monsters. (my friends and i were thinking we should all babysit at once so we could control them, but it probably wont happen)
reccess is a time we have between periods 2 and 3 , for about 20 minutes, where you eat (kinda like mornig tea...) we aren't allowed to play sport then, any handball, and we're not allowed to have any other kind of sports equipment. at lunch time we're allowed on the lower and upper tramway, but thats it.
i found the twin of my "friend"(the one how spat on my bicci) tpye in Liam Aiken in google images, and he looks almost exactly the same as that! it's scary. but i love him, he's gorgeous.
ummm, i'm 14. are you a girl (you sound like a girl, and i was just checking)
i think that's it...
oh, i'm not entirerly sure about the heritage thing, dad's side New Zealand, but mum's side mostly from Scotland and wales... is that what you wanted?
i posted this message at 12:45pm (there about) on Wednesday the 28th of June.
if that helps
Grace
ok, so, at the momment it's 3:00 pm here , and its on the 28
and it is almost 4:oo am there... on the 27th
hmmm, work it out, head is hurting to much
Grace
hi, sorry, it wasn't about 4 ish, my head was thumping and i wasn't thinking straight.
i'm mostly likelyto be on in the morning (quater to 8 till 8) and most of the day sturaday, maybe friday night, possibly sunday after lunch...
but seing as holidays are coming up, that theory goes out the window...
thought you'd like to know...
i'm still not much better...
Grace
hi,
still not feeling better...
my "friend" Patrick has just told me the cold gets worse. that made me feel better... not!
i just wanted to check what time it is on the site, and i had to post to do that.
Grace
hmmm
so 6:25am june 28 there (where ever there is) is 7:55pm june 28 here...
hmmm
that's a bit easier
Grace
Okay, so you're about 13 hours ahead of here and I'm one hour behind, so we're roughly 14 hours apart. Whoa. So I'm 14 hours behind you and you're 14 hours ahead of me. So if I'm on early in the morning I might catch you. Fat chance that'll happen in the summer because I sleep in until 10:00am. I'll be more likely to catch you if I'm on later at night. If I'm on at 9:00pm, it'll be...11:00am where you live. Since you said you're usually on between a 7:45 and 8:00am, if I was on between 5:30 and 6:00pm I might be able to catch you.
If you type in just 'cookie' on Google Images, the first picture is a really good example of what a cookie is. I get the feeling that cookie, bicci, and biscuit are all the same thing, but I could be wrong.
Wow. It weird how the same words can mean different things for us. Recess for example. Freaky, kind of. The only time we (7th and 8th graders) get to eat at school is during lunch. 5th and 6th graders have a snack time sometime during the day. I can't remember when. 7th and 8th graders do get to chew gum in some of our classes which is cool. Ummm...what's a tramway?
I'll be 14 in September. Yeah, I'm a girl.
What you did for my heritage question is fine. I suppose that question works better for Americans, you know, the whole melting pot thing. A whole bunch of people from lots of countries immigrated here, so yeah.
I feel sorry for you! You sound really sick! Hopefully you get better soon.
Your friend Patrick sounds cool. That's kind of creepy that he looks almost exactly like Liam Aiken, but cool too. Too bad he gave you his cold. You'll have to give him a talking to. J/K.
So, are you in 8th grade? Do you guys have grades in Australia, or is it forms or something like that? I'm in 7th grade.
Hah! You're probably sleeping right now since it's roughly 2:00am where you live! :)
Go to this website: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html
Make sure that you're on the page that says June 28. That picture was taken in Australia. Pretty cool, huh!
hi,
i hope your haveing fun, me being alsleep, and you not...
our oval used to be on a tram way, so we just call it tramway, one half is raser and the other half is not.
i'll give him a talking to---
gtg bye'
Your oval?
My dad just taught me how to mow the lawn. How fun! Now I can mow the lawn this summer! (This is all in sarcasm.) Oh well...he says it will help him immensely, so I guess that's good.
hi
sorry, mum came past, then i got this big lecture about not giving my information out, caz you could be a pervert guy that lives down the street, all you would need to know is that my name is Grace i go to school and there is a tramway(there are only two highschools here, and the one i go to is the only one with a tramway)
and you could come and kidnap me or something...
my mum is paranoid
don't you know what an oval is?
yay mowing the lawn! lucky you
i'll be 15 in January!
sorry, yes i'll have to talk to him, very strongly, caz every time he's gets a cold, i get sick too!
what about your heritage?
im getting better!
are there any other questions you want to ask me???
i got my school photos back today... my hair has a big lump in it, and im all red and shiney!!!
not good, but school photos were designed to look bad
Grace
I understand it's good to be cautious, by parents are the same way. But I can tell you that they information you've given wouldn't help me find you even if I wanted to. I don't know which city you live in in Australia, I only know that you live in Australia. And there's got to be more than one highschool with a tramway. Sorry I got you in trouble with your mom.
Yeah, I know what an oval is, but I didn't really understand what you were saying the way you used it.
I'm Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, German and maybe a bit Prussian.
I pity you about your pictures. I agree with you that school pictures are supposed to look bad. Surprisingly, my 7th grade photo was okay. It was probably the best one I've had so far. The only problem was that my face was a little shiny. Oh well...you can't have everything.
I glad to hear you're getting better! Yay!
Hmmm...questions....ummmm...do you play any instruments? I play oboe and piano.
You know, when I said you should give your friend (Patrick's his name, right?) a talking to, I was only joking. I mean, you can if you want to, but I was just kidding when I said that.
Well, I guess we're not too far apart in age, since you turned 14 in January. So if you went to my school, you'd be in 8th grade. I would've been in 8th grade, except I was born right after the cut-off date. Oh well...I have really good friends in my grade.
I'll check back periodically.
If you ever want to figure out what time it is for me, go back two hours and change pm to am or am to pm. For example: 1:27am (go back 2 hrs.) = 11:27pm (switch label) = 11:27am, wait, that doesn't seem right. That's probably not the best example. Let's see, 3:00pm = 1:00pm = 1:00am. I think that's right, I could be wrong.
You know something? I think this website is messed up. It says...never mind...I figured it out. Urgh I'm stupid (hits head with palm of hand.)
sorry, i dn reply straight away, mum's been watching me like a hawk...
i would be in year 9 at the moment, but when i moved to NSW, (i used to live in SA) the age for going into high scholl had changed from being 13 years old, to 13 years and 3 months, and if i had gone straight to high school i would have only been 13years and 2 weeks... so i'm older than most of the year 9's. lol
yay, holidays have started!!! i don't have to see my metal work teacher for two whole weeks now!!! yay. i really hate him!! really really.
now i have two weeks of goign on the computer anythime i want!!!
i get my braces off in 17 days!!!
i play the piano and the cello, how long have you been playing each? i've been playing the piano since i was 6 and the cello, for nearly 9 months now!!!
yes i agree this site has problems...
i meant to say earlier that patty actually looks like a mix between Liam Aiken and Daniel Radcliffe. but mostly Liam, but Daniels' shaped face and hair style...
i have also decieded (apart from not being able to spell decided...) that the reason i ask soooo many questions is that i just like presing the ? button!!! i think that's the answer!!!
lol
there's not much else i can say... i will give him a talking to, i'm sure he'll just brush it off, like he normally does, he'll think it's funi, he's always laghing at me... mostly for my height but...
lol
Grace
(ps if you have any more questions, i will be MORE THAN HAPPY to answer them... seing as i've asked you so many...
Grace
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
hehehe
lol
Wow! So you guys start highschool when you're 13? Whoa. When I start highschool I'll be 14, but I'll turn 15 within a month of school.
If you hate your metal work teacher so much, maybe you should tell me about him. Let off some steam. :)
Lucky you! You're finally going to get your braces off!
I've been playing piano since 3rd grade. Or the summer before or after 3rd grade. Something like that. So I was 8 or 9 years old. I've been playing oboe since 5th grade, we got our instruments in October, so I was 11. We didn't have an option of playing a string instrument. We don't have an orchestra, only a band.
When I said the site had problems, I had just gotten confusing with what time it had put down for my post. It was actually correct though. One problem I can think of that this site has is its color scheme...like you said earlier when you thought I had made this site.
I really don't mind answering questions. It's quite fun, actually.
So you said Patrick laughs at you because of your height. Is it because you're shorter or taller than normal? In sixth grade, I was exactly in the middle (with one other girl) for height in my homeroom. Now I'm on the taller end of my grade.
I'll ask questions if I think of them. I just can't seem to think of any at the moment.
*~*Kes913*~*
I like your line of question marks! :)
Oh yeah, and the odd thing is about the whole highschool and the difference in ages we start it is that I'm one of the oldest kids in my grade.
Whoops! I meant to say I had just gotten confused with what time it had put down for my post, not confusing.
hi
we start highschool in year 7 in NSW. year 8 in SA
my friend "let of some steam" the other day at him... (actually she called him an asshole and hoped he'd die... but he called her a guttermouthand a low life!!!) and she isn't allowed in any of his classes anymore, at all!!!!
i don't really like playing the piano, it's just something i do.. and do kinda well... it's ok but...
Patty always laughs at me caz i'm... vertically challanged... if you get my drift...
mum's coming, write later...

hmmm...
i want to know, who dod you think is cute...
please tell me... i won't tell...
hey, where has everyone gone, it's only us two now... see ^^^
weird hey...
./~we're all alone, there's no-one here beside us... ./~
lol
Grace
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
That you start highschool in year 7 explains the age difference. So do you guys just have an elementary school and a highschool?
Your teachers are allowed to mouth off at their kids like that? Wow. That doesn't happen at my school. There is one teacher that swears every once and a while, but he usually doesn't swear at anyone. He teaches history and he actually makes it interesting. (A hard feat, I'd say.) He's one of my favorite teachers. It seems that people at my school either like him a lot or don't like him at all.
I love playing piano. I play it at least once everyday, usually more. My best friend says that I need to get a different hobby, such as playing guitar or something, because basically all I do is read, play piano, and use the computer.
When you say you want to know who I think is cute, do you mean celebrities and movie stars?
I like dogs, but I like cats better. We used to have a dog, but then we put her to sleep when I was in 1st grade because her back legs stopped working. She was 13 years old, pretty old. Then we got another dog and we ended up giving her away to a sculptor who lives in the area. Long story. Then, when I was in 4th grade, we got the two cats that we have now.

hi
are you having fun there... posting symbols...
teachers aren't allowed to talk like that, at all. but this one thinks he's special...
i just asked my friend how she would describe my metal work teacher:...
"hes a nasty horrible thing hoo should be sent to an island with lots of man eating telletubbies on it"
that about says how much she likes him!!!
celebraties, singers, anybody... people in your school...
lol
i like dogs more, probably caz i've never grown up with cats, caz mums allergic
i have a buny too. actually, two bunny's but one is all mine!!!
he's so cute, his names nanuk, and he's hopping around the bedroom now, trying to eat the door. he's gorgeous
please tell me that you've noticed NO-ONE has posted!!!! at all!!!
just us!!!
lol
Grace
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Yes, I was having fun. If you want to try just do ALT + (combinations of number pad symbols). It works better on Word or some other word processor.
Hmmm...man eating teletubbies...sounds like a fit punishment. :)
Okay then, I guess I think Liam Aiken, Rollo Weeks, Aaron Johnson, and...hmmm...uhh...(guess that's it for the moment) are cute. There was this kid at camp I thought was cute, I think his name was Joe. There's not really anyone at school. I have been asked out before, but I said no. I'm not dating anyone until I'm in high school.
That stinks that your mom's allergic to cats! My best friend lives out in the country and they have lots of outdoor cats. She really wants an indoor cat, but her mom won't let her because she says they stink. They name their cats weird names too. Cow, Roadkill, Lunchbox, Chew Toy...they also have more normal ones though. Rose, Blossom, Taylor, can't think of any more at the present.
I like bunnies too, but I don't see them that often. I like most animals, especially since most animals seem to like me. Which is nice.
I've heard the name Nanuk before, but I don't know where. Argh!
Yeah, I noticed that people haven't posted. It was like that for a while with Erika and I.
Hmmmm...have you read Eragon?

I forgot something about your bunny. So, he was trying to eat the door. Interesting. Was he succeeding? Do you know if it tasted good? LOL, JK!
Do you play any sports? I pretty much only play volleyball. I think you Aussies call it netball.
net ball??? they''re are two different thing??? vollyball and netball...
hmmm
i don't play any sport anymore, but i used to swim for a squad, bascketball and Hockey.
but mostly i dance now. i do, Irish, Highland, Jazz modern ballet classical ballet and tap...
--- mum
Sorry about the netball thing. There was a counselor at a day camp I went to who was from Australia and she talked a bit about netball, so I think I got it in my head that they were the same thing. There isn't a swim team at our pool, or else I might be in it. I use to dance. I danced for five years. I only danced ballet. I took dance 1st - 4th grade, skipped it 5th grade so I could get used to the middle school and more homework and band and the like, and took it 6th grade, but I didn't like it as much so I didn't take it again. Irish dancing sounds interesting. What is Irish dancing? Like what dances is it most similar to? Is it like riverdance? And what's Highland? Those dances aren't offered at our dance studio. My sister takes Jazz and Hip-Hop, and I know what tap is because that's offered at our studio too.
Since your mom keeps a close eye on you, when you open Snarkout, also open another internet window that you can be on, like Google or Neopets or something. Then if your mom comes, just switch the windows so that you're on the window like Google or something. That's what I do. Hope that helps.
sports is a tricky thing anyway...
irish is like riverdancing (i think...) actually irish dancing IS riverdancing!
highland dancing is the traditional dancing they do in Scotland, you know, with the kilts and the lilts, bagpipes and stuff...
i've been doing classical ballet since i was 5. AND I HAVE MY POINT SHOES!!!!!!!!
POINT SHOES!!!!
that is a big occation
but i've been doing the rest for only 3 years.
but highland for not even a year yet. so i don't have a kilt yet. i'm not good enough.
yet...
hey, i just had a thought... how are you posting if you don't have an email address?????
it won't let me post if i don't put my address in...
hmmmmm
i think i'm out of questions...
thats terrible!!!!
i've tried to do that se---
hold on a sec
sorry
i've tried that screen thing, with two open.
but it doesn't work, caz mum has gotten into this habit of reading over my shoulder, or coming up, and wanting to know what i'm doing, so i have to show her all my windows...
it's really annoying
NO-ONE WANTS TO COME TO THE MOVIES WITH ME!!!!
it's sooooo sad
-sniff-
oh well, i'll just have to go with my family... YUK!!!!
Grace
oh sorry, forgot
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Grace, sorry about the offend thingy if it had you irritated. That expression was Spanish. It meant my curiosity got the better of me again.
Erika
I think The Artemis fowl books were really good. At the moment my favorite is 'ARTEMIS FOWL
and the opal deception'.
I think Eoin colfer really works hard on his books.
The books are good because hes put loads of mythical creatures in it and made every thing hi-tech for them. A change from them always being ancient creatures! I ussually read exciting books of old but I'm now loving the Artemis series! They're SOOOOOOOOOOOOO cool!
it didn't iritate me, just some other people had said it too, and you don't need to worry about offending me, caz i am not going to come and get you or anything.
lol
ARTEMIS FOWL BOOKS ARE AWSOME!!!!
i think he should make another one, but it might be a bit too much
oh sorry, i keep forgetting
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
If you want to see a cool web U should to Artemis-Fan-Club.Piczo.com
Dunno who the hell made it but its good!
Hi! Any of you who read the Haunting of Alaizabel Cray? It's quite good.
^_^
Erika
no i haven't read that...
have you read the looking glass wars?
thats a great book
and the tricktser's choice, and the Trickster's Queen...
there great as well, well, anybook by Tamora Pierce is great!
Nawat is totally sexy, he a character in the Trickster's series...
4 day's till i get my braces off
I love the books. I finally found out Q. It is the beetle.
I'm sorry I haven't written in a while, for some reason I haven't been able to get on. I'm using my grandpa's computer right now, so I don't know if I'll be able to do it at home or not. Grace, those dance sound really cool. I think that riverdance is really fun to watch. It looks really hard. I use a email address my uncle gave me for reasons like this. He uses it for junk mail and stuff, so whenever I have to use an email to get on something like this, I use that one. I haven't read the Haunting of Alaizabel Clay. What's it about? I didn't know you'd read the Trickster books, Grace! Those are some of my favorite books! Like you said, anything by Tamora Pierce is great!
And mimi, what's Q?
Oh, nevermind, you're talking about the letter Q in gnommish. Yeah, I saw on the internet a while ago that the beetle was Q. Did you use only the book to figure it out?
And since we're giving book recommendations, I recommend the Sword of Truth series. They have quickly become some of my absolute favorite books. They are exciting and there are twists in the plot and stuff. They are fairly long, usually between 500 and 700 pages, but I don't care because they're so good. I just finished the fourth one yesterday. I think that there's twelve. If you're interested, the first one is called Wizard's First Rule. In each of the books, they introduce another wizard rule. What I love is that the rules actually apply to real life. They're completely true! So, I really recommend that you read the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind.
Oh, and I'm sorry the window thing didn't work, Grace. :-(
Grace? Kes913?
Where art thou?
^_^
For some reason, my computer won't load this whole page. It stops showing the comments before it gets down to the part where you write your own comment. I'm using my friend's computer right now.
hey
sorry i haven't posted in AGES!!!!!!!
just haven't had time!
went back to school, so things are pretty hectic
i think all of tamora pierces books are the best EVER, cept maybe the protector of the small, it was kind of boring.
dad went and got me this book, called Northern Lights. it was interesting, but not exciting, if you know what i mean. Like it didn't have "passion" if you get that... and at the end, even though this is spoiling the ending, the main character's best friend dies!!!!! you just don't do that in a book.
you know what else is a great book... Ella Enchanted! not the movie, that was dumb, but the books fantastic!!!!!
MY BRACES ARE OFF!!!!!!!
woop woop
i think that's about it for now, unless i think of something else...
That's great your braces are off, Grace! I know what book you're talking about. I read it by a different title, "The Golden Compass". It's by Philip Pullman, right? And it has Lyra and Oxford and Dust in it? There are two other books after that one, "The Subtle Knife" and "The Amber Spyglass". The trilogy is called "His Dark Materials". I really recommend the other two because they get better. I know the first one was boring for quite a while, but you really should read the other two because they're really good. And another main character is introduced in "The Subtle Knife". So yeah, you should read them.
I kind of agree with you about Ella Enchanted. The movie is good by itself, but if you're comparing it to the book they butchered it pretty badly. I read the book a LONG time ago, but I remember that it was very good.
You should read the books by Megan Whalen Turner that are about Eugenides (a thief). They are "The Thief", "The Queen of Attolia", and "The King of Attolia". I really like Eugenides; he's a great character.
Hooray! This page is finally working for me again! I can actually scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page so I can comment! Whoopee!
that's exelent!!! (about the p[age)
so they have different names, hey... hmmm, that's cool
have you read the wish list??? or the supernaturalist??? they're eion colfer too... i love them!!!, the cover of my "the wish list" peeled off, (like it ha\d a cover on it, and that was the colour) and we had to fix it in class today, emergengy surgery! the teacher wasn't ver happy with us though, but who cares, all we were doing was copying an overhead about aboriginal history, (yay... not)
but its all better now
Yeah, I've read both The Wish List and The Supernaturalist. I own a copy of The Supernaturalist. That's good that you fixed your cover. I don't think any of the books I own have ever been in need of emergency surgery. It's probably because I don't usually reread my books that often. If I buy the first book in a series I always have to buy the rest of them too. Even if I don't reread them, it's nice because then I can loan them to my friends. I loaned all of my Artemis Fowl books to my best friend when she was in need of books. She thought they were okay, but they weren't her favorite. She thinks it's cool that they're going to make a movie out of them.
Is it true that the Artemis Fowl movie has been cancelled and is there even the slightest chance that it will ever be made? After all, an Alex Rider movie just came out and the book isn't a patch on Artemis Fowl. Also, I'd just like to say that The Lost Colony is amazing...
I didn't know the movie had been cancelled! Isn't Stormbreaker supposed to come out in October, though? Where'd you get to read The Lost Colony?
I thought that the Last Colony's only to be out September . . . ?
Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony is the fifth book in the Artemis Fowl Series. The book has been released earlier than the expected date of September 7th in the UK, and is now released. It will be released on 15 September, 2006, in the US and even later in other countries. According to an interview with author Eoin Colfer there will be one last Artemis Fowl book in the series after this one.

12 days to my b-day!12 days to my b-day!12 days to my b-day!12 days to my b-day!12 days to my b-day!12 days to my b-day!12 days to my b-day!12 days to my b-day!12 days to my b-day!12 days to my b-day!12 days to my b-day!12 days to my b-day!12 days to my b-day!12 days to my b-day!12 days to my b-day!
ooooook? 12 days who are you ?
Have you checked out the new Artemis Fowl book yet?? Its Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony. Its probably the best in the series!! =D
I thought Artemis Fowl was Irish literature, not American. And mauricio magnifico, it is perfectly okay to dislike the book, but I'd really appreciate it if you'd express your dislike in a respectful way.
And andrew ~ I think auditions have already been held, but otherwise, I'd wish you good luck.
Anybody there who knows K-Pax? Is prot really alien?
Oh, and I think the Artemis Fowl books are great, and Master Fowl himself is very interesting though personally, I would have liked them even more if they rotate more on Arty than Holly. It seems that way to me-that Holly is the main character . . .
That's K-PAX, not K-Pax. ^_^
Hello? Artemis Fowl, although not the best most ingenious book in the world, it is still an awesome book. It captures the attenion of the readers as well as putting in humour and suspense. Although a bit cliched, it is still a very interesting story. I read all of them and I personally love Artemis Fowl. But if you don't like it, that's perfectly fine. Just don't be a complete moron and insult others for liking it because you have to prove that whatever you don't like must suck. ^ ^
Yes! I totally agree with you personalityxsplit. If someone doesn't like something, that doesn't mean that they can insult everyone who does like it.
hihihihihi!!!!
i'm soooooooooooooo sorry, i hvaen't been on in AGES!!! i've had exams and stuff, like our stupid science teacher gave the class an assignment about diseases "just for fun!!!!" no teacher is supposed to give assignments "just for fun" caz there not fun!!!! (i'm doing mine on tuberculosis and cardio miopothy)
I HAD NO IDEA THERE WAS A NEW BOOK!!!!!!!!! how awsome!!!! i want it!!!!
can nobody talk about the new book on here please, caz i don't want it to be spoilt for me!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!
andrew, you soundvery head strong( right on!!!)

:P
and kes... hi!!!! that's all i can think of to say to you at this present time...
lol
Grace
ps, don't be suprised if i don't reply for AGES, caz, i have a tonn of homework to do
Hi Can't remeber Y I haven't been on for ages.
Probably forgot. But this place is so cool I must have been dumb not coming here. Well back to buiseness. Who else who here can remember most of the Gnomish alphabet rather well without checking.
Last time I checked it was a month ago. And amazingly I still remember it! If I were u guys I'd go to the Artemis fowl website on all the books sign up at colfer confidential and get all Fowl info before everyone else(unless they've done this ofcourse). Grace I totally Know wat u mean. Tests and extra boring work is lower than low! I get so fed up sometimes I forget to do the simplest parts in it! And then looking back on it I remember it but it's too late. Well I can't say anymore So Ta Ta everyone Bye!
Oh 1 more thing Don't let the username fool U I'm a boy if u don't remember. And I have only had the book for a day and am already onto the 100 pages!
Its really good! Bye!
I just realised smart guy made a mistake when telling everyone Gnomish he forgot full stops! Wich is an aroow pointing to the right.
Arrow.
Now I have had Artemis fowl and lost colony for three days and I'm nearly in the 300 pages! It is an excellent book and I'm close to finishing it.
I cannot believe That I have finished Artemis fowl and the lost colony in three days! Success!
Why am I the only one on this website at the moment?
Sorry I wasn't on for so long everybody! I was on vacation. I just got back tonight. Lucky you, Melava! The 5th book isn't even out in the States yet. Grrr... Well, I did get to read a lot of books on vacation. I finished one book that I had already started, and started and finished three others, two of which were over five hundred pages. I love reading!!! To those fantasy lovers out there you absolutely HAVE to read the "Sword of Truth Epic." They are my most favorite books ever! Even against Artemis Fowl, no offense. They're by Terry Goodkind.
Melava, Grace lives in Australia, so she has school right now. Hi Grace!
hey hey hey!!!
yup i live down under! i've been bak at school for 6 weeks now!!! and the work load isn't getting any lighter!!!

yawn!
ttfn!
mwa!
Hey,
My first time here. I really like the artemis fowl books. I think they're pretty awesome. I do like Harry Potter as well though. I pretty much just love to read.
Anyway, I live in the US and from what I've seen the newest book is coming out on September 12th. I'm very excited but I must say that I'm sort of annoyed. For Harry Potter openings there is a big party at the book stores and tons of people come to get their books as soon as possible at midnight. But do they have a party for the newest Artemis Fowl? No. I understand that it may not be quite as popular as Harry Potter but still, I would totally go to a party for it.
I don't know, I guess I just think book parties are fun. I mean shouldn't people encourage this sort of thing?
Oh, this is going to get confusing. Two Eric/kas. At least you spell your names differently. I also just love to read. That's cool! The book comes out the day before my birthday! I didn't know there were parties at bookstores for Harry Potter releases. Yeah, a party for Artemis Fowl would be cool.
Hurrah, Kes913! Our birthdays are fast approaching! =D
My cousin has sent me a copy of The Lost Colony. The story’s fine but I rather abhor the cover illustration; seeing it makes me shiver.
^_^
TTFN
Erika
Oh yes! Soon we'll be a year older! Summer's too short! I had my first day of eighth grade today. It was extremely boring. We pretty much just went through the rules in all the classes. Oh well, it should get better.
That's funny. The book comes out on the day between our birthdays! I'll have to read the story sometime after my birthday most likely. I haven't seen the cover or anything, but don't tell me!
Annelise is such a pretty name! Yes, I'll be fourteen in...5 days! And Erika will be 14 in 3 days! Lol! Yeah, "boardom" is spelled "boredom". I'm sure they'd have a book party SOMEWHERE in Australia, even if it's not by you. But I totally agree, a book party would be awesome!
Ummm...what does "Cuwy Cobber Digger mate! Suck a Gum-Leaf!" mean? I'm kind of in the dark. And I'm assuming you heard about Steve Irwin, a.k.a. the Crocodile Hunter? Seeing as you live in Australia. That's so sad! I didn't really get to watch his shows, but the one or two I did see were really cool. And what a freak accident it was! What are the chances of being stabbed in the heart by a sting ray?!
Kes913
"Aurum est Potestas." Lol! Not really!
P.S.
I had to run 3/4 of a mile in volleyball today and I'll have to run 3/4 on Monday. We missed 30 serves in our volleyball match (match = at least 5 games, usually 6, this time 6), so we have to run a total of 30 laps around our gym. 15 today, 15 Monday. *sarcasm* Yippee!
Lol! At least it's better than running thirty crunchers!
cooie!
i always thought something would bite him in the end!!! either that or he's be run over by a elephant!
did you see he dangled his little daughter (not a year old) over a crocodile in one of his shows!!!!
i didn't like him much...
have you even heard of 'hey hey it's saturday'???
'cuwy cobber digger mate!suck a gum leaf!' kinda means...
oh mums home, i'll tell you later!
mwa to all you book fans!
Annelise
xxooxx
Yeah, I saw on the news that he dangled his daughter in front of the croc. That was very irresponsible. All wild animals can be unpredictable. Well, I just like watching shows about animals and stuff. Like Discovery channel (which we no longer have) and Nova. I didn't really know that much about him. Still it was sad, because he was only like 44 or 45 or 46 years old or something.
...No, I don't think I've heard of "Hey, hey, it's Saturday".
Kes913
Thank you, Kes913! And a happy birthday to you, too! ^_^
Thank you! We are both officially 14!
hey hey!!!
sorry i haven't written in AGES!!! my computer was being dumb and not loading this site!!!
it sucked!
congrads on you both being 14!!!!
i don't have much to say... but i might be ages till i write again, so till then have a good time, doing whatever it is that you do/ are doing...
oh! i do have one exciting thing to say... it's school holidays!!!!!!
yay yay yay
anyway, sorry, buh-bye!!!
Anneliese
xxoo
That's okay! And thanks! (the birthday thing)
It's school holidays for you! Lucky! We're in school now. Grr...
I bought the fifth AF book today! Yay! It'll be awhile before I get to read it though. I have a lot of library books I need to finish.
See ya!
Kes913
Huh?
Hi, Kes913! So . . . how's the book going? And-um-what do you say about the cover design? ^_^
Erika
Aanyone here who knows when the last book in the Inheritance Trilogy will be out? Or is it already out?
Thank'ee!
Erika
Does anyone know when and where the auditions for Artemis Fowl is going to start?
Hi, Erika! Actually, I haven't started the book yet, I finishing a book in my favorite series. I think I should be able to finish it today. Then I'm going to read AF. And then my friend's going to read it.
Yeah, cover design, it's...interesting. Kind of weird. I don't know if the U.S. has the same cover design as the Philippines, though...
Anders, I'm not positive, but I'm fairly certain that auditions have already taken place.
Oh, I forgot to answer your other post,
Erika.
I don't think there is an official release date yet for the 3rd Inheritance book. I think it's probably going to come out in summer 2007 or something like that.
*I'm* finishing a book, not I finishing a book. Stupid typos...
Weird! I was checking email and an ad for Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony showed up! It just showed the cover! Lol! It shows up right after I was talking about it on here!
hey hey hey
i'm supposed to be doing stuff for textiles, but i'm not...
hehehe
i think the 5th AF has come out in Aus. but i don't think it is where i am... maybe it is and i don't know about it...
i'm back at school now (not that you woudn'y have guessed) my house computer is stll not loading this page!!!! not fare!
lalala
i'm bored...
oh have you read the karazan quartet? those are the best books ever!!!!!
this is freaky, but i think i do this (sub-conciously or not), i think the main character in the karazan quartet is hot (or sounds like it...) like i also thought AF sounded hot too. but I think that my expectations are to high, seeing as i'll never meet them!!! i also thought the main character in the supernaturaist sounded cute too!
i think i just need to see a phycyatrist! (i know i didn't spell THAT right!)
this obsetion thing may be beacuse my actual romantic life is so s**t!
there is probably a lot of typo's in this entry as i'm typing as fast as i can, because i'm supposed to be doing work!
sorry

Yep, it's psychiatrist.
I want two girls. I don't know what names, but cool ones. Not ones that everybody has.
Lol! You are so not a retard!

Kes! Hi!
grrr... I need to read the fifth artemis fowl book. I saw it at the library today but i forgot to get it...
Anyways...
Has anyone read the Alosha trilogy?
Yeah. Kes913 is practically my best friend in the whole wide world.
i love them but i am trying to decode th fourth book at the bottom!if you know it please please post it
Hmmmm...fourth book? Ha! I found it! I knew I had it saved somewhere! Okay, mordy, here it is.
*DO NOT READ IF YOU WANT TO DECODE THE BOOKS YOURSELF*
A recruitment letter from the centaur Foaly, technicoalconsultant to the Lower Elements Police. Trusted ally, if you have decoded this gnommish message, then you are a deputy officer in the Lower Elements Police. You will not be aware of this fact because it is the practice of the LEP to mindwipe our human allies. We do this so they cannot remember being recruited. If you cannot remember the fairy people or our underground city then you cannot betray our existence to the greedy humans. Of course, not all humans are greedy. You, deputy, are a noble member of your species. And clever too. We only recruit the best. Our intelligence department studied your file and concluded that you were suitable for LEP membership. At the moment, you are only a deputy officer. To become a fully fledged officer you must complete four tasks. Number one, decode this message. Something you are well on your way to completing. Number two, save the life of a member of another species. You can complete this task in any number of ways. Open a window to release a trapped fly. Build a bird bath in your garden. Release a mouse from a trap. Number three, achieve a perfect score on a school test or homework assignment. In this job, you need to be smart as well as fit. Number four, wash yourself every day for a week - this is a difficult assignment especially for human boys who do not like contact with water. If you are going to work underground often in cramped tunnels, you will appreciate a partner who does not smell like a hermit dwarf. Once you have completed these tasks you must summon your recruiting officer in the ancient fashion. Go to your back yard or nearest green area. Make sure you are not being watched. Find a soft spot of ground and burrow a six-inch hole with a broom handle or short stick. When your hole is ready tap out the letters L E P in horse code. The code for L E P is as follows, L: tap tap wiggle tap E: wiggle wiggle tap P: tap wiggle drill. Do this at least a hundred times and our underground sensors will pick up the vibration and send an LEP officer with your uniform and orders. Good luck, deputy. Foaly.
Okay, that's it. I have added someone punctuation and grammatical stuff to make it easier to read, but that's it.
*some* not someone.
Hey everyone,
this is my first time on here, it's nice to know I am not the only one obsessed with AF!!! My best friend thinks I'm a total nut..well even if i didn't like AF she would think that. Ok...does anyone have any info on the movie, cus I've been waiting for it for a while!!!! Also: I cannot wait to read the fifth AF book!!! I'm getting it tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I'm fifteen in a month!!!
Lol! Yeah, you aren't the only one obsessed with AF. The fifth book is really good!
when are the auditions im perfect!
I dont know. I want to audition for artemis.
i fink itz well out that they held auditions wivout tellin ne1 i mean even wikepedia doesn't know! come on, if the only person who knows where auditions are is the casting directors daughter theyre gonna get a lot of talent auditioning aren't they?! idiots.
I'm not entirely sure but I get the feeling that they already held auditions awhile ago.
I READ IT....so confusing, i had to read it twice..the ending was good though...ya..ur probably rite about auditions. and ur rite hughesmeister..they are idiots

You, deputy, are a noble member of your species. And clever too. We only recruit the best. Our Intelligence Department studied your file and concluded that you were suitable for LEP membership. At the moment you are only a deputy officer. To become a fully fledged officer, you must complete four tasks.
Number One: Decode this message. Something you are well on your way to decoding. Number Two: Save the life of a member of another species. You can complete this task in any number of ways. Open a window to release a trapped fly. Build a bird table in your garden. Release a mouse from a trap. Number Three: Achieve a perfect score in a school test or homework assignment. In this job you need to be smart as well as fit. Number Four: Wash your-self everyday for a week. This is a difficult assignment, especially for human boys who do not like contact with water. If you are going to work underground, often in cramped tunnels, you will appreciate a partner who does not smell like a hermit dwarf.
Once you have completed these tasks, you must summon your recruiting officer in the ancient fashion. Go to your back garden or nearest green area. Make sure you are not being watched. Find a soft spot of ground and burrow a sixteen centimetre hole with a broom handle or short stick. When your hole is ready, tap out the letters ‘L-E-P’ in horse code. The code for ‘L-E-P’ is as follows: ‘L-TAP-TAP-WIGGLE-TAP-E-WIGGLE-WIGGLE-TAP-P-TAP-WIGGLE-DRILL’. Do this at least a hundred times and our underground sensors will pick up the vibration and send an LEP officer with your uniform and orders. Good luck, deputy. Foaly.

I took the liberty of 'trying' to put punctuation marks...^-^
Oh, and if you have your fourth book with the reddish cover, the code there is barely decipherable but it states(as I'v understood) that "Opal wants revenge."
Hope that helped...
Erika
Yeah, the cover code on my fourth book also says "Opal wants revenge." That is, if I remember correctly. I haven't looked at the cover in awhile. But if Erika says it says that, then it probably does.
Hi, Kes! What's up? Quite busy?
...
School's like a martinet lately so I haven't checked this site for days.
Anyway, how fares thee?=^.^=
...Only a few weeks before Christmas *hurrah*!
Artemis Fowl still rocks!
Erika
When I first read the Artemis Fowl Series, I hated them. Now that a few years have passes since i orignially bought them the books seem brilliant. The way the character changes over the series is impressive.
Anyway the point I'm Trying to make is that first impressions arent everything.
But Harry Potter, Animorphs,Cirque Du Freak, Demonata,Everworld, and the Inheritance Triogy are good series to read if you like fantasy but not Artemis Fowl.
If you dont like the books,dont come complaining to me cause everyone is entitled to the freedom of speech and that is simply my opinion and nothing you write will change that.
ARTEMIS FOWL STILL ROCKS!!!
Hi, Erika! Yeah, I've been busy with school, just like you!
Anyway, I'm faring well! Except I should get more sleep, according to my mom. I just like being a night owl. So, how're you doing?
Yeah, Christmas is coming up fast. Earlier this week, it was in the 70s, but today it snowed! Lol! That's just the state I live in. The weather varies a lot.
You should read, "The Riddles of Epsilon". I just finished it today. There is a code in it that is quite similar to the Artemis Fowl code. I liked the book, though not as much as AF, partly because it was really hard to know who you could trust.
And yes, (partly because it seems like everyone's saying it, lol!) ARTEMIS FOWL STILL ROCKS!!!
P.S.
Why would it stop rocking in the first place? Lol!
How dare you ppol here insult artemis fowl! it is like the best book ever!!!!! Greater that Harry potter! But I also love Harry Potter though, I like draco a lot. My friend introduce arty to me because who also like draco at first I don't want to rid it bcoz d cover sims ugly...(now i luk at it n a diff angle its very mysterious..i lyk dat)she insist dat i rid it so i tried riding it. I ddnt understnd so my mom read it and she liked it so i tried riding # 3 coz my frnd lost #2. #3 was sooooo awesome so I asked mum to buy me #2. Wen she returned she bought me a whole collection and i was bouncing up and down the whole day. I fell inlove with Artemis. Then I bought #4 w/c was an accident bcoz wen we went to powerbooks the book was just out from the stack room and I grabbed it and bought it fast! Then #5 cam out and Artemis still rocks! he;s sooo the man!!!
Artemis fowl.........
I lOVE YOU!!!!!!!!
I'm 14 too..........
Isn't Arty currently 18?
Yeah...that's confusing...do we go by his sense of how long he's lived (14 years), or the rest of the world's sense (18 years)? I was wondering about that immediately after I finished reading the 5th book...
And yay! Another 14-year-old on here!
I love the Artemis Fowl series it is my favorite. I have just finished reading the lost colony but could someone please tell what Foaly's message is in all the books or any of them for that matter?
oooooh...itachi...naruto?
lol
nice
=^-^=
Erika
Itachi: If you scroll through the comments, you should be able to find the decoded messages for the books.
ok
sum1 pls tell me wots goin on wit da muvis!
pls
pls
pls
I don't really know much about it. I'd suggest looking it up on Google.
*confused look*
Some people are so immature.
Yeah, that was totally random, whoever did that.
About above with the AF hatin..
AF IS MEANT TO BE A CHILDREN-TEEN book.... SO DONT GO ANALYZING HISTORICAL CORRECTIVENESS when it doesnt matter in a CHILDREN'S book... SHEESH
and He DOES have many underlying meanings and understandings for BOTH Children and TEENAGERS... CHildren understand one part and the TEENS get the WHOLE picture ....
K thanks
O and Lost Colony was AWESOME read it in one day
Yep! It's definitely a cool site! =)
Hey, Kes, Erika, Grace, and the other participants in this thread — you're all more than welcome to keep using this post for AF and non-AF discussion, but in an effort to clean out hundreds of spam messages (many rather explicit), I may have deleted some of your comments. My apologies! Please feel free to carry on.
ah i wondered why my message diapeared!
it was liem really big, so i can see why it was delelted.
i'm not the spamer by the way.
hey has anyone been on a site called 'ilike'
?
It's a great site, you can find new bands and download their music for free.
it's really cool.
i've found heaps of really weird music...
:D
anyway. how's it going over in... america????
it's winter there isn't it
if you are the wner of this site, and not just another spamer, or scammer, it'd be easier to get to the bottom of the page if some of the REALLY old messages were deleted too...
i think...
how do i decode stuff on the bottem of pages tho plz someone tell me cause i am a big fan i want to know how and it doesnt say in the books
yes it would help but havent hade time to sorry cause i been busy with school stuff + you can see old posts if you have to
yes
it is almoast spring
hey there, kes913...im sorry about my last post...i was a bit "desperate" then..the one with the sos thingy, i mean...there was a problem that time...
anyway, how are you?~-^
lol
artemis fowl now rocks even more!!!
erika
p.s. anyone out there, um...im a bit confused...if i were to use close quotation marks("), where should i be placing other...uh...punctuation marks(e.g. "Lord of the Flies," or "... Flies",)?are there any rules on this, or is it all on personal preference?^-^
thanks
erika
what is with the spam!
this didn't happen before!
as far as i know other punctuation marks are on the outside of the quotation, unless they are part of it, like if the name "Lord of the Flies" had an (!) in it it would be "Lord of the Flies!" not "...Flies"!
personal preference- i just use (') for a name or emphasis. it's easier and people understand then meaning...
that's what i do.
it's a shame this site has turned into a spam site, i like it alot.
Grace
(ps: i can't remember but i've decided that i don't like the name Anneliese anymore, it's like 'soooo cliche' :D so now, i'll find a cooler name.
maybew Lorane.
hmmmm :D
0_o
what is the key to the codes of the last two artemis fowl books?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAY TOO MUCH SPAM!!! Thank you SOOOOO much owner of this site for letting us use this!!! That's fine that you deleted some comments! I mean, we started posting random stuff without asking your permission, so obviously you're allowed to delete stuff! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I'm used to shurtugal where they ban you for awhile for posting off-topic comments on the comment pages. You should probably try to get rid of the tons of explicit spam that are on here now if you're reading this.
Grace and Erika: I'm actually pretty sure that punctuation usually goes on the inside of the quotation marks. Sorry I've been gone so long! I've been busy with school, the middle school musical, and spelling bees! (I advanced to the multiregional state spelling bee in my state! YAAAAY!!!) And yeah, it was winter for me in February. It should technically now be spring, BUT IT'S SNOWING!!! IN APRIL!!! GAH!!! AFTER WE HAD DAYS IN THE 80s!!! Oh well. =D
Oh, and for people who were asking. You can decode most of the codes in the books by using the symbols and translations in the "Translation" chapter in the first book. I think it's chapter 3. Just match the first symbol with the first letter and so on. It's really simple actually.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!! Thank you so much owner of this site for letting us use it for random comments. Of course it's okay that you deleted some comments! I mean, we started posting random comments without asking your permission, so obviously it's okay that you deleted some! I'm used to shurtugal where they ban you for awhile for posting off-topic comments on the comment boards.

Ooops! Sorry about that! It told me that the page couldn't be found, so I thought it wasn't going through. The first one is the original, so you can delete all the rest if you want! =)
why have they suddenly decided to ick on this site! and how would they have decided on the site in the first place?? sitting there, near a computer going... hmmm what site shouldwe spam... OH i know! an atrmis fowl fan site! they must all be dorks or somehing so it doesn't matter... O_o
weird...
hey do anyof you rekon there is going to b ANOTHER book? i mean eion colfer wouldbe rich enough already...and wha other story lines could he pull up... nothing to him of course.
has anyone read the mister monday series? are they good, i haven't sarted them yet, here are ready to go, sitting on my desk all alone...
...
Lorane
-keep reading artemis fowl lovers!!!-
Hey, uh... Anneliese? Grace? uh... are you that "Lorane?"...Anyway, I think I've read somewhere about Mr. Colfer planning to write only seven books for the Artemis Fowl series... I'm not so sure, though.
Erika
P.S. Mr. owner-of-this-site? What's with all the posts dated May 8'07 4 am, before mine?
Thanks,
Erika
Erika, I've been getting ridiculous amounts of comment spam, much of it semi-pornographic. I've added a "capcha" mechanism -- from now on, you'll need to enter the string of numbers below the comment box to post. Hopefully this will clean up the site to the point where you and your friends can use it again.
If you run into any problems, or you see the comment spam creeping back, please email me at [this website, minus the .org] at gmail.
hehehehe
i like changing my name.
it cofueses people... -eerie music-
mwmwmwhahahahahaha
ummm... dum de dum de dum... i forgot why i was writing this in the first place...
ummmmmm
OoOoOoOoOo
don't we just love this owner! your the best!
i don't know if i'll be able to handle 7 books... would you?
oh well
xoxox who ever you want it to be.
Gee...thanks, "mr. owner-of-this-site" =D...
so, uh... if Arty were 12 at the dawn of the 21st century(or 2001, right?), then he'd have been 13 came September one...? 14 the following year and so on....
so to make it simple...
he's still on his teens. ;p
***
I haven't been "reading" from Kes913 lately. When do you think she'll post next, Lorane? (I find your changing of names interesting. I mean I've tried that once, but I ended up mixing passwords and email addresses ^-^)...
Ja ne!
Erika
Everyone says the third book is the best but you can't beat the first one. I mean it is really good at introducing all the characters. By the way whats up with Holly becoming artemis' friend, I mean they are like worse enemies in the first book and by the fifth they are like best friends. the same thing with mulch, I mean come on, a police officer and a convict, not a good pair.
yeah. i haven't heard from Kes for AGES!
well read from here anyway... :D
it's still a bit confusing as to whether he's in his teens or not. well i still don't think he is.
i haven't heard anything about a new one. book that is...
erika could you say that you had a favourite person? uh sorry i mean book.
the backspace key is so far away. i can't be bothered to delete what i wrote.
i like all of them (books that is)
they are all my favouites.
although i do like the firtst one alot.
Eion Colfer is such a genius.
ummm.
yeah.
stuff.
that's cool.
hm.
:D
Bye!
Hi! Sorry I've been gone so long! The spam kind of chased me away. I checked back a couple of weeks ago when the spam was gone, but I didn't type my email right and I messed up too many times and it didn't let me send my message. But hi to you guys!
AND THANK YOU SO, SO, SO, SO, SO MUCH FOR INSTALLING THE SPAM BLOCK THINGY MR. OWNER-OF-THIS-SITE!!! YOU'RE THE BEST!!!
OMG ur all dummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm cuz holly short gets killed (but doesnt die)so that makes you all dummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm exept for eoin colfer
Hi kes!
what ever weirdo. (not you kes)
so. how have you been.
...
lalalalalala
-D
Evelyn
Hi! I've been really good! You?
Ummmm...I don't really get what you're saying artimis fowl the 2nd. Please explain yourself more clearly. =)
Wow! I've been posting on this site for about a year and a half!
WOW a year and a half!!!
you should celebrate -hands Kes present-
i've been good too!
what a coinsidence!
i do agree that the PERSON should explain himself, as he may be possibly TOOOOOO 'dummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm' to both spell 'dum', to inisigate approprite converstaion for a ARTEMIS FOWL APPRECIATION site ( kinda explains it's self) AND to actually understand and interpret what it was that you wrote in the first place.
:D
sooooo. what else has been going on since 'i've been really good!'
lol
mwa! Evelyn
Lol! Thanks for the present! Lol!
Lol! Yeah, hmmmm...since "I've been really good!" I've been cleaning my room. I mean REALLY cleaning it. Like going through EVERYTHING, even my drawers full of stuff including junk, and getting rid of everything I don't need or putting it in storage up in the attic. I've also been going through old school stuff (7th and 8th grade) and getting rid of junk and saving worksheets and notes. It's actually kind of fun 'cause I listened to pretty much all my CD's while I was cleaning my room. Then, while I was sorting school stuff in the basement (we have part of it fixed up), I watched a lot of TV Guide Network 'cause there's nothing good on during the day (we don't get many channels - less than 30). After I'm done cleaning my room I'm gonna paint the bookshelf my dad made for behind my door. I really need it 'cause my current bookshelf is stuffed. I have books piled on top of books and then in front of books. I have over 130 books in my room. I counted once. And my rooms not super big either (I have I built-in closet and dresser which takes up space, along with my double bed).
I've been reading a trilogy right now which takes place in Sydney, Australia and New York City, so I've been learning more Australian terms. I already knew bickie from you, which I thought was cool. Some of the things I've learned from the books are:
Ta
bitumen
chunder
dag/daggy
grouse
poxy
unco
and wanker.
It's cool learning it!
You know, this actually isn't an Artemis Fowl Appreciation site, even though we've kinda turned it into one. Look at the first entry. Lol!
Your American buddy,
*~*Kes913*~*
i agree with mORiSOn! you guyz wouldn't know a good book if it slapped you in the face. The Artemis Fowl series is by far the best series written for young readers and you are seriously sad if you didn't enjoy it! and also, as another comment has said, stop criticizing others books as i am more than sure that you have never made even the slightest attempt to write a decent book in all of your pointless existence.
♥ always kattybabe
xxx
p.s. get backbones and try and write your own book. although that would probably be a waste of time as some of you cant even spell properly.
Arty mentioned something about the Lord of the Flies being his favorite book (for a week), right? I read that book almost 6 yrs ago, and read it again for our book report this yr... Who could tell me the explanation of the sow-killing? It still is a bit confusing, though I prefer it to the Catcher in the Rye...
Thanks a lot,
Erika
Hi, Erika! I haven't talked with you in a long time! I'd love to help with the Lord of the Flies thing, but I haven't read it.
kattybabe, I also think AF is a really good series (Sword of Truth is my favorite series, though it's not for kids). My mom even enjoyed them. I don't mind if people express their opinions in a respectful manner, 'cause everybody is entitled to their opinion, but if someone does it disrespectfully, it gets annoying.
I'd really like to see the Artemis Fowl movie, but now I'm starting to doubt that they're even going to do one. I mean, no one's heard anything about it in awhile, have they?
Hi, Kes!
Thanks for trying to help me out...=)try reading it--everything's worth it, I think. Anyhow, I'm also starting to doubt that they'd be doing an Artemis Fowl movie, though I still wish they would. ^_~
Cheers,
Erika
P.S. To HP fans, hexrpg.com is a good site(is this...uh...spamming?heh heh)
Erika
Yeah, I hope they do the movie. I saw something that said Keira Knightley might play Holly.
I might read it sometime. I have SO many books to read, though!!!
hey hey!
that's funny, that you didn't know those words!
wow, australia must really be retarded :D to make up it's own words :D
sounds like you've had a very interesting time KES. are you on holidays or something? i started my holidays today. but it's only for two weeks, which is sooo not long enough.
i got my report yesterday... got all A's cept one b in PD-H-PE. who needs sport anyway. -jeez-
my friends and i have created a list of all the things we want to do in the holidays, it took up a whole page one of my friends art book, but some of it is stupid stuff like make a giant biscuit, and smoke lavander... wlak the length of one of the streets in my town... stuuff like that. but we have decided thta we are going to have a day when we do alomst all of it. a all night horro movie night! should be heaps fun, and we're going to sneak out (oooo we're bad) and go to the shell and buy chocolate, then climb rocky hill (it's a hill, that's rocky!) and what's the sunrise, while eating our chocolate.
we should be sooooo sick by the end of it. it'll be great!
i've given up home on a movie. i don't think it's ever going to happen. which is a shame. :'(
oh well. gtg
BYE!
that first commment is reallly nasty!
i just read over my second kast comment, and there are soooooo may spelling mistakes in it, and if there aren't spelling mistakes, there are different words in the place of correct ones...
as you may be able to tell by now, i'm not that good at typing correctly...
:D
lol
Lol! That's okay - typos happen! You're probably just typing too fast!
Naw, Australia isn't retarded. I think every English-speaking country has its own variations on the language. I'm sure there are words that I use that you wouldn't necessarily know unless I told you. I probably just don't use them on here...Well, if I remember correctly, recess was different for you guys than it was for us.
Oh! An example! Yeah, we're on "holidays". But we don't call it that. We call it summer vacation usually. See! Different countries have different names for things. Yeah, it's summer here, not winter like it is for you, right? (It's weird, thinking about the whole opposite sides of the world thing). My school's summer vacation is June-August.
Chocolate is yummy!
I'm rereading the HP books right now. I started them on the 2nd of July and I'm on the 4th one right now. (I have time on my hands, but I've also been doing other stuff, including watching each of the movies after I finish the book, lol!) I'm gonna make sure that I get through the 4th movie and 5th book by the time the 5th movie comes out and then I'll have no trouble getting through the 6th book by the time the 7th book comes out. They're good books, though! I mean, they can still make me laugh after the 3rd or 4th time reading them!
And YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! We're getting high-speed soon! Finally!

Whoops! Sorry! The first time I had tried to post it, it didn't work, so I tried again, and apparently it HAD worked the first time. Oh well...
hey hey
the 5th hp movie is out here, although that messgae was probably old, so you've prob already seen it!
:d
i'm going to see it tomorrow...
i didn't like the 5th book, the fourth was my fav. the 5 book is too gloomy.
i can't WAIT for the next book!!!!
yay!
i'm in the second week of the holidays now, and the last week :9
i hate how fast holidays go!
then it's back to school (yuk) but 3rd term is generally the easiest... no exam, but as i rememeber just a LOT of assignments
gotta hate assignments.
:D
have fun!
cho seemed a lot 'healthier' in the 5th movie than in the 4th. lol
erika
Hi, you guys!
No, I haven't seen the fifth movie yet. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! I want to go see it later this week; I'm waiting until my friend gets back from vacation, even though she's already seen it. She wants to see it again.
I like all the books. It's hard to say which is my favorite. Probably either the fourth or fifth. I really like the Department of Mysteries part in the fifth book. I just finished rereading the fifth one today. I feel like I should've finished it sooner, but we were at our neighbor's cabin this past weekend and I fished a lot, so yeah.
Huh? I'm confused, sorry! Cho seemed healthier in the 5th movie than the fourth? I haven't seen the fifth yet, but she didn't seem unhealthy in the fourth to me.
So you guys have three terms? We have 4 quarters and then 2 semesters (2 quarters in a semester). But I think that's changing. I don't know how exactly, though. It seems confusing.
Yeah, I don't like assignments either.
We get high-speed tomorrow! YAAAAAAAAY!!!
heyhey
the fifth movie was great.
i don't know what your talking about either with the cho thing... O_o
we have 4 terms (about 10-11 weeks in each term) two of those terms are called a semester collectivly. and we ahev 3 two week holidays inbetween, then a 6 week holiday over christmas.
i'm back at school now. and it's already waaaaay to boring!
lol
yay high-speed!
Yeah, the 5th movie was good! I wish they hadn't had to cut out so much...
The 7th book was incredible! I just finished it today. Both my theory and my friend's theory turn out to be right! It was crazy!
Oh, so your terms are like quarters. Wow though, we usually only have 2 or 3 days off between quarters. A 6 week Christmas holiday! LUCKY!!! We get about a week and a half, it used to be 2 weeks, but they changed it. And we don't have a spring break, at least, not at my school. However, we do get 3 months off for summer vacation, which we're in right now.
High-speed rocks! It's incredible how fast it is! My uncle says it's even faster than his! (He works with computers a lot a teaches a class about Linux (an operating system) at a nearby college.)
Man, the 7th HP was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good...
*~*Kes913*~*
yeah, i finished it on sunday (the day after is came out), i was determined to finish it before i talked to anyone, incase they told me what happened.
it was such a good book.
i thought the last little epilogue thing was a bit pointless though. although it did finish it off, so no other authors could write more, which is what i heard she was planning to do.
was your theroy that he was a horcrux? that was my theroy too! i had a idea that he was going to ahve to kill himself...
but she made it so good. it was a great book.
=D
...but our english teacher and i agreed that harry should have died.ohh well.people have diff perspectives.haha
hi, kes, evelyn..:)
***
i think they wont be making an artemis fowl movie anymore.most of the websites in the net say so..tss...
best,
erika
hey
i relli want to noe if they are having auditions for this
( by the way i live in Australia so it mite take me some time to get to the place)
heyhey!
another person from Australia!
goodie!i think this was established LOOOOONG agao that we're positive that there are NOT goint to be auditions, as there may not even be a movie...
it's a shame.
soooo what's been going on?
have ANY of you read ' the looking glass wars'???
it's the best damn book (well one of them anyway) that i've EVER read!
you guys HAVE to find it and read it!!!
that is the message of the day.
cheers
Hi, Erika and Evelyn! Sorry, I haven't been on in awhile. I had a lot going on and I kinda forgot.
Yeah, my friend's theory was that Harry was a horcrux and he would have to kill himself. My theory was that Dumbledore told Snape to kill him. (Dumbledore REALLY doesn't want Voldemort to come back to power, so I thought he would've told Snape that if he absolutely had to to ensure that Voldemort wouldn't triumph, he should kill him.) I just thought it was really cool that we were both right!
That's stinks that they're not going to do a movie! *sighs* Oh, well... I just think it would've been really cool. And yeah, if they were going to do the movie, it probably wouldn't be open auditions. They'd have an idea for who they wanted and they'd just approach them about it. Or they'd be casting only Irish or British people.
No, I haven't read "The Looking Glass Wars", but it's been on my list of books I want to read for awhile!
I really enjoy the Twilight series (Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse) by Stephenie Meyer.
High school starts next week. *shudders* The summer went by too fast...
hey hey
you haven't started high school yet?
well i suppose you don't have highschool after primary school...
Harry Potter is awsome
i wonder whether Eion Colfer is going to write anymore books...
hmmmmm
i don't think i've read the twilight series...
oh hi Erika!
well we must the three most important people in the world right about now :D
<3 loves ya both!
Evelyn
Hi!
Nope, I haven't. I'm starting 9th grade on Tuesday. I'm one of the oldest kids in my grade, though, I turn 15 on September 13th. And Erika turns 15 just two days before me!
Yep, Harry Potter IS awesome!
I think he kinda has to. I mean, he kinda left it hanging with the Lost Colony...
You should! (They're partially about modern vampires - except a group of good 'vegetarian' vampires [meaning they only drink animal blood]! Lol!)
Lol! Yep! We're the only people who frequent this page anymore!
*~*Kes913*~*
hi! it's been ages...dunno, but the site said i've posted too much in a short time.ugh
anyway,i was just wondrin when the last installment to the inheritance trilogy will come out; or is it already out?lol
^^
cheers,
erika
Hi!
Yeah, I've gotten that message before, too. It's weird.
I don't know when the third Inheritance book is coming out, but you'd think it'd be soon, wouldn't you? I know it's not out yet.
Adios,
Kes913 (I'm in Spanish class now. YAY!)
yay!!birthdays and birthdays!!
advanced greeting, kes!:D
hi, everybody!
af ii rocks,
eri
He-he! Yep! Your birthday es manana and mine es Jueves.
Hasta luego,
*~*Kes913*~*
Buenas noches!
Happy Birthday, Erika! You're 15!
I turn quince in dos dias!
Adios,
*~*Kes913*~*
P.S.
Sorry I'm using Spanish so much! We're just supposed to use it a lot so we learn it better. If you want, I can add translations.
Kes,
maligayang kaarawan, kaibigan!
/happy birthday, friend/--in filipino
^^
best,
erika
Buenas noches, amiga!
He-he! Gracias! That's so cool! (Filipino looks awesome! Like Gaelic - which is pretty much impossible to pronounce if you don't know the rules!) It feels really weird to be 15. I still think I should be 14.
Nos vemos!
Kes913
hi hi
wooow your both 15!!!1
yay! -throughs party ballons-
sorry it's a bit late =D
so... i'm guesing school is fun
i rememeber when you were excited about turning 13....
ahh the days... all that way up the page
=D
....
still the most important people !
SCORE!
lol
mwah's to ya both
Lol! Thanks!
*plays volleyball with balloon*
Yeah, school is fine. I wish we didn't get so much homework, though.
Lol! Yep! It's amazing how long we've been here. It's kinda cool though, knowing people from different countries for so long.
Lol! Yup!
May the force be with you! (Sorry, I just felt like being completely random. I haven't even watched the movies! I think I saw one of them when I was maybe four or so, but I haven't seen them since then!)
*~*Kes913*~*
P.S.
You really love confusing us with your many names, don't you?
I miss you peoples, but I guess you must be really busy.
HI HI HI HI
home work soooooo sucks.... i have to do a comparitive essay.... um YUK, but wait it gets better, i have to do it in the hoidays (which im in now) although they are running out very quickly :'(
i reckon they shoudln't give us homework, coz teachers are always going on (here anyway) about how we need to develop our self esteem, and need to discover who we are and junk, but HOW rare we supposed to do tht, if we're stuck inside doing homework. adn how do we get our daily excesise when we're doing homework too!!!!
i bet they didn't even think about that!
hehe
oh well
yeah, sorry i haven't been on in ages, but been heaps busy... and stuff.
oh you KNOW i love confusing you guys with the names... mwmwmwhahahahahahha
it's just FUN. hehehe
have you read the uglies series???
they are REAAAALLLY good. and the Twilight series... they are awsome tooo.
mmmmm love books.
=D
soooo ummm yeah
talk to you cool cats later!
mwah
Hi!
I KNOW! Homework stinks! And I hate having homework over the holidays!
Yeah, no problem. I just figured you were busy.
Lol! Maybe I should start switching my names, too - see how confusing that would get...Lol! It probably actually wouldn't be that confusing since we have different writing styles...
Yes, I've read the Uglies Series! I OWN them, too! (Along with over a 100 other books - I love collecting books.)
So, did you just recently read the Twilight series? I LOVE those books! My mom just read them, too, and really liked them. I think it'd be cool if they made the first one into a movie as long as they didn't screw it up too much! Lol!
See ya!
Hmmmm...starting with confusing names, even though I'm still using my user name...
~Kyralia
hmmm we'll just see how difficult this gets =S
i do agree, different writing styles, hm. s o um yesh.... we'll see if anyone can follow
probably
i LOVE LOVE LOVE the uglies series... mstly the first one.... but they are still awsome...
yeah... only a while ago i read the twilight ones...
they usually do screw it up... it will never be the same.
do you reckon it's true, that thye release like twice as many movies in america as they do here????
i'd be interesting to see the ones i haven't heard about.
lol
so yeah
talk to ya later bookies!!!
xo
Hi! I've been sooo busy the past days(ugh? ^^)...
uhm...the twilight series? stephanie meyers'? yeah!i love them, too!
later,
erika
Yeah, I think I liked the first Uglies book best, too.
You know, I've never heard that, so I don't really know. It's probably possible; movie production is such a booming industry here, what with Hollywood and all.
YAY! The Twilight Series are some of my favorite books!
Oh, and heads up. I probably won't be on much if at all the next three weeks. I have driver's ed, play practice, orchestra play practice, a separate orchestra practice, honor choir practice, confirmation, AND homework. It's gonna stink. I'm not going to get much sleep at all and I'll probably have a nervous breakdown from the stress (I sure hope not, though.)
Hasta luego,
~Morgan (I just going to use the main character's name of the book I'm currently reading! Right now I'm reading the Sweep Series, you guys probably call it the Wicca Series - I don't really know, so yeah. Good books.)
oooh yeah... trick... name change
copy cat
that sucks... you do to much
i do to.... but you are not goignt o know incase your still a creepy pedifile waiting to find me and kill/ do whatever it is you do to me
yeah
i like the first uglie the best
i've read the wicca series.... it was good... a little weird though... like the third book ending with that guy (cant remember his name) dieing/ being killed...
little to out there for me
don't have a nervous breakdown that would be very bad
sooo... if i've caught you before you don't talk t o us yay, and talk to you soon, but if not and you are already a walking zombie i hope you return to the living (and the site) soon =D
talk to you later....
everyone seems to be busy... and it's not even the christmas season yet!
lol
@_@
Clary! (the mortal instruments series book one , city of bones. )
Lol! I can switch back to normal if you want me to - I just thought it'd be funny and confusing.
Yeah, it does suck. It'll get a whole lot better once Driver's Ed is done. It makes me appreciate my free time more. I was able to actually read some of my book tonight which was great since I hadn't read since yesterday morning during breakfast (I read while I eat, weird I know, but I just do it.) And holy creepers there are too many numbers to remember for driving! And a whole bunch of other stuff! And we only have 10 ten days of class to learn it! (Today was the third!) I hate having to learn what signs go in which group (Regulatory, Warning, or Guide). I mean, as long as you know what the sign means, you should be okay, right? Oh well...And yeah, I did cry a bit from stress last night, but I'm a lot better now because I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING DUE TOMORROW! YIPPEE! Lol!
What the heck? I'm not a creep (I swear), but I do understand your caution. ...I hate being busy...
Yeah, they are a little weird. Do you mean Cal? 'Cause he died in the 6th book, I think.
Thanks! I will be doing my best not to!
Lol! Nope, I'm not already a walking zombie! (Thank goodness! Lol!) I'm pretty used to operating when I'm tired...whether that's good or bad...
THAT'S AN AWESOME BOOK! I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE!!!
See ya guys!
~Rose (Origins, 11th Sweep book)
Oho! We both copied each other! Lol! I copied your changing names thing and you copied my using book characters' names thing! Lol! =)
hey hey!
good, i'm glad your not a zombie!!! that would be very bad...
driving is cool!
ummm. not much to say at the moment...
love these books too!!!! soooo awsome... i'm kinda running out of books to read at the moment though... but that's ok, coz all my exams are coming up, so i should probably be studing instead =D
omg! i read while i eat too!
i tried reading while doing my piano practice once.... it KINDA worked... not really though, coz the book kept closing =D
nah i reckon we should keep going at this!!!! lmao!
i won't copy the book thing anymore... coz i haven't read enough/ are not reading quickly enough to change it every time...
=D
ttyl
buh-bye!
xo
Hi!
Lol! Yep, it would be.
If you want good books, I can give you a big list. If you really want me to.
SCHWEET! I thought I was the only one who did that! Awesome! (My friends all think I'm bizarre for doing that..)
Lol! That'd be hard! I've never tried reading while playing piano, it'd be funny to try though. Try playing while sitting with your back to the keys and putting your hands behind you. It's hard but funny!
Okey-dokey!
I don't mind if you copy the book thing. You can always just use secondary characters' names.
See ya!
Alisa (Sweep #12, Eclipse)
eh....
coooooollll
booooks
fuuuuun
i'm not bothered today.... i suppose that means i can't be bothered...
my arms are killing me
and i'm sure i won't be able to move tomorrow =D=D=D
have to do kartwheels(which i most certianly CAN NOT do) and handstands (which i can do, and very well... i've almost got a solid walk going =D)for my dance concert...
it's cool.... should be fun.... cept i HAVE to practice and now everything hurts
=D
so yeah... life's hard
how are you going?
dead yet???
so yeah.... that's about it from me =D
maybe something will be happeneing next time...
HA
god my arms are sore :(
kisses
'Kay, I'll put a list up sometime, maybe this weekend.
I can do cartwheels if I've stretched some, but I can't do handstands. At least not really. I haven't tried in a really long time.
Well, good with the the dance concert and the cartwheels and handstands!
I'm good. I've made it! Tomorrow's the last day! And the only day I cried at all was the 2nd night! YAY! Hopefully I'll get my permit tomorrow!
I hope your soreness goes away! I hate being sore!
Hasta manaña...o jueves...o viernes...o sabado...o domingo..
Mary K. (Same book, I haven't had a whole lot of time to read...)
*good luck*
artemis fowl the eternity code is definetly the best. Jon Spiro is flippin' awesome. I've also got a question. How did you think of Opal, and why did she clone herself just to get back at Artemis II?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????!!!!!!!???????!!!!!!!!!????????!!!!!!?????????!!!!!!!!??????????!!!!!!!!!!????????????!!!!!!!!!!!????????????~~~~~~~~~~~ I think goblins are sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I think my favorite AF books were The Arctic Incident and The Eternity Code. I haven't read the books recently, so I don't remember a whole lot about Opal right now. It does seem pretty desperate just to clone yourself to get revenge, though.
hey,kes!^^
you and isabella share the same birthday:D
yeah..the eternity code is my favorite,too.but with goblins being sweet....haha
later,
erika
Heya guys!
Is Isabella...wait! Oh! You mean Isabella Swan! Yeah, I noticed that and thought it was awesome! I NEVER share birthdays with characters, especially ones I absolutely love, and it's highly unusual for my birthday date to even show up in any of those diary/journal books. I just thought it was so cool!
See ya!
Moira (Sweep #15, Night's Child)
P.S
I have my permit now! BOO YAH!!! Lol!
Hello? Lol! Now YOU guys must be really busy! It's finally dying down for me. The musical will be over with next week! Yay!

Lol! Yup! At least we have distinct writing styles and we always keep them the same!
YAY!!! I'm glad it went well!
Yuppers! Authors rock!
We just got done with a performance of our musical! It was our first public performance (we had already done a show for the elementary school and a show for the middle school on Wednesday), and it went really well!
Oh the Thinks you can think, if you're willing to try!
Lyra (Golden Compass)
Hi! Everyone must be busy again! I'm finally not so busy anymore 'cause the musical is finally OVER!!! BOO YAH!!! I LOVE free time!
Well, how are your guys' lives going?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Christmas was good. I got a lot of cool stuff! And money...which is always good...
Ouch! Yeah, I've never straightened my hair and I don't plan to. My sister keeps wanting to do it, though...And I've never dyed my hair and I don't plan on doing that either...
I hope it heals fast!

k LATER!
XX
Tracey (Letters from the inside)
Lol! Yeah, that happens to me sometimes, too.
Yeah. Actually, dyeing your hair is one of the worst things you can do to it. It's REALLY toxic!
YAY!!! When's your birthday again? Sorry, I forgot.
Christine (Again. My books have come in, though. I just have to go get them...)
Oh! Happy New Year everyone!
Artemis Fowl is awesome. I am a huge fan of most of Eoin Colfer's books. SEriously though, anyone who likes Harry Plopper better, doesn't own a brain.....u know. But just read the Artemis series, it's awesome!!!!!!!!!
But you alot of you geeks are all critics.
Later dudes!!
I love the Artemis Fowl books AND the HP books. They both have their strengths and weaknesses and they are so different that you can't really compare them. I do believe that the people who like HP better than AF have brains. It's merely their opinion. I personally think the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind is a lot better than both series (which is saying something), but that's just my OPINION.Everyone likes different writing styles - there really is no "perfect" book for everyone. So try not to insult people who have different preferences.
Lol! My friends and I have different definitions for words like "geek":
geek: a person in band
freak: a person in choir
nurd (purposely spelled that way): a person in math league
dork: a person in drama
I happen to be in all of those which makes me a...nuroreak! Lol!
Kate (Old Magic by Marianne Curley, author of the Guardians of Time trilogy)
Please stop commenting on the intelligence or, lack thereof, between people who read Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, and so on and so forth, having read both and being an English and Literature major, i enjoyed both series as well as some books which have been around before your own parents. These ignorant remarks on which is better is only showing your ignorance, please comparing authors is like comparing Capital Records and Island Records, they have different names and artists, but they both are still making CDs. It may surprise many of you that you say Artemis Fowl has more motifs, suble hints, and on and on, yet any of the series you are comparing to it all sit on the YOUNG ADULT section, proving the immature remarks from some of you. And for those who are making comments to stop the ignorant trash, I commend you.
From a matured and open-minded Reader, TJ
Thank you, TJ!!! I completely agree with you! It simply doesn't make sense to compare the books like that and insult people who have different preferences. Besides, they're BOOKS for heaven's sake! They're not the end of the world, merely a highly enjoyable pastime.
Sincerely,
Taureset ("Freaks" by Annette Curtis Klause, author of "Blood and Chocolate")(I'm the same person as Kate, and Christine, and a whole bunch of other people for those who haven't been following the name switching with current books thing.)
kes? anneliese or grace or what? uh..hi? haha
is it true there's another af to be released? anyhow..brisingr shall be out this year.. YAY!!!
best,
erika
Hi, erika! Yes, this is Kes (I keep changing names remember?) The way to tell us apart is that I capitalization and such and grace/anneliese doesn't.
Yeah, from what I found on wikipedia, Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox is due to be released July 15, 2008. YAY!!!
Huh?....OH! So that's what the third Inheritance book is called now? Weird. I didn't know that. That's odd, 'cause I thought he was sticking to the 6-letter 'E' words for titles. Oh, well...I wonder what he'll name the fourth one...
Yeah, Ariella's from 'The Society of S' by Susan Hubbard. Good book so far, even though I'm not that far into it.
rosie@triad29.com
rosieponder@verizon.net
Not only do they try to rip you off, they send your email out and you get a ton of junk mail.
yay!Prince Caspian on our summer vacation!
Klinton vs. Obama. How you think who will win elections in USA?
hey hey all!!!!!
looooong time, no type huh
that's awesome about the new book!
although i think he might be beginning to overdo it a bit....
and also another big THANKYOU to TJ for the intelligent and insightful remark.... HOPEFULLY it will put all of you doubters and "little people" with immature opinions in your places...
i doubt it though
soooo how's it been going????
anyone gotten into the Stephanie Meyer books????
the Twilight series.... they rock so much....i really like them...a nd the fourtha nd final one is coming out in august i think... well it's coming out in america then-ish i believe.... it sucks coz it will take forever to get here :(oh well, i suppose it's all part of the deal lol )
i really do hope that the junk mail doens't start again.... coz that was very irritating lol
talk to you later =D =D =D
(hopefully you CAN tell who is who... lol )
Hunter (although it is a boys name, i think it's better than the main girl character's name, in the "so Yesterday" book by Scott Westerfield... it's really good =D )
Hi its my first time on this site but i think its really cool but the people who said that they dont like harry potter i mean really cmon. I havent read the harry potter books but i love the movies but any way i liked artemis fowl but i didnt know it was a trilogy.
See Ya!
Hi, everybody!
Sorry I haven't commented in FOREVER - I've been really busy.
XXXLObamaLobby, I want Obama to win. No doubt about it. Even though it'd be cool to have a woman president, I just don't like Clinton. She seems kinda smug to me. I don't know. I just think Obama can unite more people.
"Hunter" (Lol!): YES!!! I've read the Twilight Saga! They ROCK!!! They're some of my absolute favorite books. I can't wait for "Breaking Dawn" in August. And then "Midnight Sun" sometime after ("Twilight" from Edward's POV! Boo yah! You can read an excerpt on Stephenie Meyer's website!). And I can't wait for the movie! Though I hope they don't screw it up too badly. I don't like who they have playing Edward. It's Cedric Diggory from HP! He's not good-looking enough! I mean, it was a central part of the book that Bella doesn't feel worthy of Edward 'cause he's so much better looking than her! That's not the case in the movie! Gah! Hopefully good acting can make up for it...
See ya!
Wanderer/Melanie (Stephenie Meyer's newest book "The Host". YAY!)
Yeah, the junk mail was annoying.
crystal: You should read the Harry Potter books! They're much better than the movies! (But the movies were pretty good!)
See
hey all!
i don't know, i think that your election thingy goes for waaaay too long... i don't really understand it... but i think a negro president would be cool... one step at a time... women aren't quite there yet
anyway
i LOOOOVE the twilight saga!!! they rock soooooo much... i can't wait for breaking dawn either! but it'll take ages to get here anyways.... it's a bit sad. i know about the books, thanks... i follow the website religiously so don't worry about having to "fill me in or anything"
yeah i don't really like the edward actor either... he's definately not handsome enough.... in my head it was soo muhc better. i'm sure they will screw it up... they do it with everything... i mean look at teh harry potter movies.... and ella enchanted (did you read that, or wach the movie... the book is soooo good, but they destroyed it in the movie)... i'm also not all that happy with the actress for bella... it should have beeen that girl from "series of unfortunate events"... she would have maade it really cool...
the trailer looks awesome though... i can't wait!
are you pro edward or jacob???? the answer will determine if you are right or not =D
my friend and i LOOOVE the books, we are both really into them... but she's the opposite of me... so we disagree at times... but it's all in good fun.... but she's still wrong =D
i love them
the host isn't here yeta either... it sucks... i wnat to read it so badly!
sucks being away from the cool stuff!!!
oh well
talk to you later!!!
Dana (from the 8th cherub book "mad dogs" ) (it's pretty cool...)
Hi!
Yeah, it does go for a really long time. You get pretty sick of politics. Yeah, I think it'd be really cool to have an African American president, especially Obama. I'm just worried that someone's going to try to assassinate him if he does get elected...
I know! And sorry for the "fill-you-in" thingy. I wasn't sure if you knew or not, so yeah...
I know! He seriously needs to be more handsome!
Yeah, the Harry Potter movies did change the books, but I thought they did a lot better job than some other movies off of books. Namely Earthsea (which isn't bad by itself, but completely changes the storyline of the first two books - Ursula K. LeGuin actually disowned it) and Eragon (which sucked even if you didn't compare it to the book). And yeah, they did change Ella Enchanted a lot, though I thought it was fine if you didn't compare it at all to the book, but just thought of it as a separate movie.
Yeah, I don't really like Kristen Stewert for Bella, either. I think she's better than Robert Pattinson for Edward, but still. Yeah, the Series of Unfortunate Events girl would've been okay. I also thought the girl who plays Rogue in X-Men would've been good. I first watched the movies this past summer, and I could seriously see her being Bella in some of the scenes. I think the actress's name is Anna Paquin...
Yeah, the trailer looks cool, but weird in parts!
Hmmm...pro-Edward or pro-Jacob...that's a hard question to answer! I really like both of them actually! I suppose if I had to choose, I'd want Bella to stick with Edward, which she is, but then I'd want Jacob for me. Lol!
Yeah, The Host is definitely different from the Twilight Saga, but still good. I'm only a little past halfway. I haven't had a whole lot of time to read. I'm supposed to be working on this 7-10 page final paper on the Cold War that's due Friday. I hate it. I should probably get back to it, though. I already have 6 pages, and I don't think I'm quite halfway yet, so I'm probably going to have to go back and try to delete stuff. *groans*
Gotta go (albeit reluctantly),
Jamie (The Host, still. There are other girl characters, but I felt like being Jamie.)
hey hey
that's cool (about the filling in thing) it's a bit hard to tell from such a far distance lol
DEFINATELY more handsome... apparently there was this french guy that tried out for the part, and even he would be better, but i suppose there is nothing WE can do lol
mmmm i agree, as long as you don't compare the books with the movies, but it still is a bit annoying that they do that...
Anna would be pretty cool, although in my head, bella was a bit more delicate and like you know, not as boyish... like if you pushed her she would fall over lol, i know that probaly doesn't make much sense but yeah
can't wait!
i like them both too... and you make a very good point, which is good coz other wise it could have grown into quite a debate =p , but i really like jacob, and think that she should be best with him, but yes if she has edward... yeah i don't know
i had a pretty good theory i thought:
she'll get turned into a vampire, and go on a rmapage and kill edward, and jacob will have to kill her to save every one else...
it's pretty ok i think ; she gets to be with edward, but jacob will save the day... and that way stephenie will be able to have a lot of "oh should i, shoudn't i" pages...
lol
just a thought
yeah i totally get that, i'm not getting any time to read either... it's rather annoying
ewww, the cold war is pretty boring... i've got a massive music assignment to do... that's not fun... but i figure that if i just ignore it for long enough then it will go away! :D
somehow i don't think it works liekt hat, but anyway.
i hope you get your assignment done, and that you get top marks ! lol
have fun with that
Aly (Tricksters Choice Tamora Pierce.... re-reading coz i've run out of idea for books, or the enthusiasm to get more lol)
omg, i was just reading the posts, like my first ones and that ^^ and i was so retarded!!!!
i'm sooooo sorry for my retarded-ness, and i hope that i'm better than that
lol
i was so young and immature
also i was thinking, and the edward jaocb thing, i know it's sounding like i'm "loving" the charatcers... but i think it's just teh idea.... her writing is so good
sorry if i don't make sense =D
i tend to do that often
anways, just wanted to say that i'm sorry for being such an idiot, and please tell me if i am/ start doing it again
lol
byebyebeybye
Yeah, *sighs* there's nothing we can do. We'll just have to cross our fingers and hope for the best!
And it's always really hard NOT to compare the movies to the books, but we can try!
No, I get what you mean with the delicate and boyish thing. You're right. ☺
YAY!!! I managed to steer us away from a debate! Lol! That was my intention - I didn't want to get any hackles raised! Lol!
But yeah, I don't think that's going to happen. Can you imagine how many angry fans she'd have on her hands? And it's just improbable. I'm thinking that the whole Cullen clan would be able to subdue Bella if they needed to.
Yay! We only have 3 1/2 days of school left! (The last day's a half-day.) Then I WILL be able to read more!
Thanks! Yeah, I finished the paper. It ended up being 13 pages long, but my teacher said that was fine, so I didn't have to delete anything. I was SO happy!
What's the music assignment? I'd actually probably like that kind of assignment more since I LOVE music, but yeah. And no, I'm sorry, but the assignment's not going to just disappear. Lol!
SCHWEET! The Trickster books! I love those! I'm pretty sure those were the first Tamora Pierce books I read!
WHAT???!!! I never thought you were retarded or an idiot, so don't even think that!
Haha! I was just looking back, and I didn't sound the smartest either! Really naive, actually! And I actually typed "sympathesize" for "sympathize". Whatever the heck "sympathesize" is. Lol!
Elizabeth (Pride and Prejudice - I got it for Christmas, so I feel like I have to read it, even though it's fairly slow reading. I'll read it for awhile, read a different, more interesting book, come back to it, and so on...)
I think your books rock man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, Erika, I was just rereading some of the past posts, and I saw your question on the sow-killing in "Lord of the Flies". I've read that book now since we did a whole unit on it in Language this year, and so I may be able to help. What exactly about the sow-killing didn't you understand?
Uhhh...between books right now...(I just finished "Pride and Prejudice"! FINALLY!!! YAY! Now I can read the types of books I like again!)
Wow. It's been a while. Well, not THAT long, but still.
DUDE!!! The 6th AF book is out! I need to pick that up the next time I'm at a bookstore!
Shea (The Sword of Shannara - and yeah, he's a guy, but there haven't been any girls in the book so far. Lol!)
ARTEMIS FOWL AND THE TIME PARADOX IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I LLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEE THESE BOOKS! Lol!
Bella (New Moon - I'm rereading them before Breaking Dawn comes out.)
Still no one? Wow. It's been almost two months since someone besides myself posted.
Breaking Dawn was great by the way.
Schuyler (Blue Bloods by Melissa De La Cruz)

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! Hi, Erika!
Yeah, that used to happen to me a while ago. It's SO annoying!
Haha! Okay! Just thought I'd offer anyhow! ;)
Yes! I read it! It was BRILLIANT!!! At least, I thought so...
Grrrrrrrrrr....I don't want it to be September. I don't want to start school. But yeah, happy birthday, Arty! Lol! When exactly is his birthday supposed to be? I forgot...And happy EARLY birthday, Erika! =)
Clary (City of Bones by Cassandra Clare)
Scratch that. I'm reading City of ASHES not City of Bones. Gah! Stupid me! Lol!
happy early birthday, too, uh..clary!!
haha

speaking of bones...have you read lovely bones? i forgot who the author is..it's nice

ja,
Erika
Haha!
My birthday's the 13th. I can't remember for sure, but wasn't yours like the 11th or something?
Oh! I haven't read it yet, but I bought it on a garage sale this summer for a quarter because I'd heard it was good. It's in my (big) pile of books I've bought I've yet to read. =)
Haha! Yeah, they did. But there's sorta a reason behind it. You'll just have to read the book. =)
Yup! I've seen it! It was pretty good! The ending felt almost unfinished, though...
See ya!
Isabelle (Still City of Ashes)
P.S.
Gah! I'm back in school now. Poo. And homework sucks. Lol!
otanjoubi omedetou gozaimasu^^..belated, kes
ugh..college entrance tests...theyre driving me mad
Haha! Thanks! The only other language I know how to say "Happy Birthday" in is Spanish, and that doesn't look, or sound, I would guess, nearly as cool! Lol!
Oh, wow! Good luck with those!
Night!
Eragon (I'm rereading Eragon and Eldest before I read Brisingr)
hey hey HEY
it's been like FOREVER... but that's ok. breaking dawn was pretty coo, obviously it didnt end liek i wanted it to, but that;'s ok
it was really long though!
oh i totally forgto about his birthday... i'm sure he would appreciate it :p
i LOVE city of bones, it;s like the best book ever, andi totally want to read city of ashes but it just keeps avoiding me... so sad, but i WILL get it eventually :D
it's awesome
so how is everything going over there??? lots of exciting school stuff i bet. same here. just loving the education system lol
if any good books come your way that you think i might like give us a buzz, coz i'm totally lost for books right now...
well... yeah i hope everything is good. and i don't know if i really want to read another artemis fowl bbook... i kinda think there have been enough.... but i suppose it's almost an obligation ... and it should be good :)
uyp talk to you later
Pearl (the last days by scott westerfield)
(very good book by the way)
oh hey, and yeah I totally forgot, but what do u guys think of heath ledger? And did u like batman??? I loved it, thought it was awesome, and Heath was as awesome as he always is... Well was :(
It's so sad... He was so young :( oh well though.
And yeah excited about the twilight movie? I am... Although it will take like foreeeeever to get here :(
Talk to u later
Pearl (again) :D
Hi, Pearl! YAY! You're back! Haha.
Yeah, BD was really long!
Haha! Yup!
Yeah, hopefully you do! City of Ashes was really good, too, and now I own both of them! YAY!
Everything's fine over here. I hate the homework, of course, but that's to be expected. We have our former middle school band director as our high school director now, and he rocks (last year's director sucked), so I'm really happy about that. I'm keeping busy with extracurricular Jazz Band and Madrigal Group (Renaissance choir stuff), and will be in Girls' Group and Girls' Octet once we get our normal choir director back (she's on maternity leave right now, but she'll be back by the end of the month). And I'm also in SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions), and I babysit after school on Mondays and Fridays until 5:30. And I have Pep Band some days, too. And I accompany our Wednesday night church services and am finishing up with confirmation on Wednesday, too. So yeah, I keep busy enough. And we have a World History test tomorrow...grr...Well, it shouldn't be TOO bad. And I like WH LOADS better than American History, which we had last year, and in 7th grade, and a little in 6th, and then also in 5th grade, so I'm COMPLETELY sick of it. But World History? Now THAT'S interesting.
I'm sure I have LOADS of book recommendations for you, but I don't have a lot of time right now, so just remind me about it, okay? =)
Yeah, but I really thought this 6th one was good, so you should probably read it. =) If there are any more, I can always read them and tell you if they are worth reading!
Yeah, I liked "The Dark Knight", and Heath Ledger was really good, too! And yeah, it is really sad that he died...
Yeah, I'm excited! But I'm also worried about it. Oh well...

Katrina (Eldest)
wow! nice welcome :p
and that is like the biggest list of books ever... but thanks a heap fr that, it must have taken you a while lol
seriously! it's a wonder you haven't exploded... you have sooooo much on! and it's all good lol
so you like your music? play an instruments? (i know we would have covered that somewhere on this extremely long page but it's too hard to go check)
ooooh yeah i'm going through that here. i really really hate history to begin with... its just not a subject that interests me.... but for the last four years (been at high school for four years) we ahve been doing aboriginal history.... now don't get me wrong... it's good to know about that stuff.... but we ahven't been doing anything different for FOUR YEARS. that is a long time to be doing the same thing... and i think if i have to do any more my head might implode (yep that's right... not explode :p) it's driving me insane.... and when we ask our teachers about it they say "oh no don't be silly we haven't been doingi the whole time, we've been ding other stuff too" they are so ignorant.
lol oh well
but lucky you getting to do world history! fun! i hope you enjoy it!
well.... apart form that... my school certificate is coming up so study study study -groans- and our formal a the end of the year.... it;s like the only thing people care about here... which is good i suppose... gives them something to think about lol
mmmm yeah ill talk to you later if anything interesting happens.... but i'm uessing it wont lol
and thanks for the books! i'll have to write them down and get started lol
bye!
Clary (city of bones) (getting ready for city of ashes lol)
Lol! Actually, it didn't really take me all that long at all. I had already had pretty much all of those books posted somewhere or other on the internet, and it was simply a matter of copying and pasting!
Haha! Yep! I've gotten very good at not exploding! Lol!
Yup! I LOVE music. I play piano for fun (well, all of them are for fun, but I don't play piano in a group...well, I accompany our choir a lot...anyway...), oboe in our school band and in the orchestra I'm in that's part of an organization outside of school, and then, starting this year, I've been playing keyboard on bass settings (with an amp - it rocks!) for Pep Band because oboe does not work well for Pep Band. And then I'll probably learn how to play bells or something for marching band (we were supposed to have marching band last summer, but we didn't - long story), since I want to actually play an instrument for it and not just carry the banner or something. And then I also love singing. So yeah. Music is a big part of my life.
Yeah, aboriginal history would get really boring after four years of it. I mean, for me, simply because I don't know much about the subject, it'd be interesting to learn about it for a year, but you'd think it'd just get way too redundant if you have more than a year of it.
So you're in your final year of high school?
Well, good luck on your school certificate! (We don't have anything like that, or if we do, it's not called anything like that. =) Is it just a test you have to pass to graduate or something?)
Haha! Yeah, I know what you mean. It was just announced last week that we'll be having a semi-formal dance (for the first time, I think) in DECEMBER, and I swear, already half the freshmen and a lot of the sophomores already have dates for it (and it's girls' choice). And people are worried about not finding a date. I honestly could care less. I don't think I'm going to ask anyone. Besides, it's in DECEMBER; it's not like anyone needs to get worked up about it in OCTOBER for crying out loud! Lol!
Haha! Well, hopefully some of them will be good ones for you! Lol!
Haha! City of Ashes is a good book! YAY!
Arya (Still in Eldest. Gah.)
Fuck u
Uh, that was a bit uncalled for.
Katrina (STILL in Eldest!)
Hey there!^^
Brisingr was quite a long read-_-...i mean..twas a bit too long for something short...dunno..haha
a dance..aww..we don't have dances in our school. is it because we're an exclusive school for girls?
who's the author of City of Ashes?ive run out of books to read; I can't get decent answers from my classmates==they're all screaming, "TWILIGHT!!!!"T T
thanks, kes, for recommending that book ages ago..haha...I really owe ya
erika
ps..any news about a fowl movie??
cheers,
erika
I still haven't read Brisingr yet. I'm obviously still on Eldest. I haven't had tons of time to read.
I don't know, maybe.
Cassandra Clare. ;) Haha! Yeah, TONS of people in my school are reading Twilight, too, but I'm guessing it's worse for you since you go to an all-girls school! Lol!
Haha! No problem! I am the master at recommending books! Lol! I'm like my friends' library since I own so many books - over 200!
I really don't know. I really hope they eventually do a movie, though. That'd be SO cool!
Elva (*sighs* Still Eldest. This is getting really pathetic.)
I'm going to Twilight tomorrow! YAY!
Islanzadi (Yes, still Eldest! Lol! =P)
Twilight was AWESOME!
Personally, I believe the Artemis Fowl series to be an amazing series (My Favourite!). The Characters seem real and you can relate to them. The problem with a lot of you people is you have no imagination or belief! There's no need to be so cynical! Typical Mud People behaviour: if you've never seen something, it doesn't exist! As to some comments about too much fantasy, I say 1) child genius is NOT fantasy thank you very much! 2) Fairies are widely believed to be fantasy but it is not yet proven and 3) If it's a fantasy book - how can it have too much fantasy? Fantasy books aren't intended too be real!
Although you will scoff at me, I believe faries are real and actually, you have no right to scoff at me, as both of us have no more proof than our beliefs (or in my case-eyes) to prove our point of view. You certainly have no actual evidence that faries don't exist.
uh...Happy holidays, still, everyone^^
hope Artemis Fowl movies are no longer..hate what they did to Twilight
Always,
Erika
Yeah, Happy Holidays!
Oh, you didn't like Twilight? I thought they did a pretty good job with it, but it's all a matter of opinion. =)
Hope you guys are all doing great!
Catnip (The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - YES! I finally finished Eldest! Lol! And I also finished another book - Peter and the Secret of Rundoon - before starting this one! YAY! Hehe. I LOVE books.)
wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(if you guys have read all the comments
so far then you'll understand) is the
Artemis Fowl movie ever going to come
out?
Seen Twilight movie. Kinda wierd to
start off with, but was ok in the
long run.
bye!!!!!!:-)
Hadah.
Hi!! It's been loooong...haha
list of oscar nominations are out.. and tdk didnt make it T T
there are still no updates on the af movie..maybe the project's dead..
best,
erika
Hi! Haha! Yeah, it HAS been a long time!
I really do hope they're making an AF movie, even though it seriously seems like they're not.
Know what's amazing? This is our third year of correspondence! It's just cool to have friends on the other side of the world. =)
Your buddy,
Schuyler (Masquerade - A Blue Bloods novel by Melissa de la Cruz)
Hello,
I found this site a few days ago and spent ages reading it all and so this is my first post.
AF is my favourite book and I am obsessed with it, but that's just oppinion and I love reading most books.
No-one has posted on this site for ages...
Hi, Izzy!
Lena (The Second Summer of the Sisterhood by Ann Brashares)
HEY!!!!!
soooo sorry, i actually completely forgot about this site for atleast 4 months i'm sure, probably longer!
so much has happened, twilight being the major thing in everybodies lives, whether they like/ have read/ know about it, everyone seems to be talking about it, and whether they like the people who are playing the characters.... i don't mind them (or what they did to the movie) taylor lautner is awesome, and i can't wait for new moon :)
soorrry i know your school sytem is a bit different to mine, (i was just reading back over the messages i've missed) no, i'm ot at the end, a couple more years to go. we have to do a school certificate 2 years before the end, and if we pass that then we don't have to come back to school... it's an option. most epople drop out and work or something... but then you can stay for another 2 years and get your higher school certificate (HSC) which is the passing mark to get into uni. what you get in the HSC (the number, we call it the UAI) is the minimum u have to get to do what you want to in uni. sad i know, also very difficult. but i'm sure i'll be finished with school soon :D (-rolls eyes-) (yeah right :))
how was everyone's christmas's and new years? awesome i'm sure.
i don't knwo if you heard this, or know this... but i was watching E the other day and they were atlking about some actor (don't rememebr the name) and how he was doing this and that, and that how he was the first choice for artemis int he movie, but the rest of the casting took too long... with a money issue and stuff, and the movie got cut and they won't be doing it. now i don't know if that is true or not, and knowing E it probably wasn;t but i mean how long have they been promising a movie. i think it's time to give up on that dream and move on :( unfrtunately.
i can't believe it has been 3 YEARS!!!! it seems to have gone soooooooo quickly, if we could have a cyber party we should/ would lol
and i hope we can continue for years to come, although it probably wont be about artemis by then lol
anyone read the uglies? i rememebr when they were the hottest thing, before twiloght. ah yes those were the days :p
well let me know, sorry if i don't reply, i've probably forgotten... but i'll do my bets not too :)
and i'm also so very sorry for the billion mistakes! i'm supoosed to be in bed, so i;m typping as fast as a can.... :)
anyway, good to hear that everyone is ok
Harper ( aka the queen bitch from the THe Seven Deadly Sins Series by robin wasserman.... definately worth the read!)
I don't know about you, but I think Wikipedia has it down pat for the code translations (even though they are notoriously unreliable). (My name has the link to the article.)
This escaped me until the sixth book (ironic, since it was in the first one and since), that LEPrecon = leprechaun. An inside joke, no?
And to get to the point, I don't see why any of you people on here are complaining about the Artemis Fowl series. It's a children's book, it's supposed to be at their reading level, not yours. So if you're complaining, kepp it to yourself, or I'll call you immature for reading children's books as an adult. *waggles finger threateningly*.
For anyone that hasn't already read the sixth book, I'm going to complain and give out a spoiler in the same breath...
I am really starting to hate Eoin Colfer. He gives subtle/not-so-sublte hints at hooking Artemis and Holly up (I got a bad taste in my mouth when I saw how they were depicted on the official webstie - it doesn't look like them at all) the entire book. It's quite annoying and I want a seventh book to satisfiy my curiosity about this particular dilemma. Besides, doesn't anyone want to know what Foaly's wife like?
Regards,
Queen Boo
Hello,
I agree with you about the subtle/not so subtle hints and the fact that a seventh book would be good.
By the way, which one is the official website?
Izzy
Hi, Harper!
Haha! It's okay that you haven't been on in a long time - everyone's been busy!
Yeah, I actually own the Uglies, and they're good books, but they're not my favorites.
Tess (The Decoy Princess by Dawn Cook - excellent book. Also, the Truth Series by Dawn Cook is a favorite series of mine. You guys should read them. =) )
'I am really starting to hate Eoin Colfer.

Hear, hear!
Has anyone read Colfer's other titles? Iunno, but it seems to me that he's starting to write...just for the public. Catch my drift? Hm, it had a different feel when I was reading his earlier AF works... ugh
See ya,
Erika
I love Artimis series
haha. i love how this was just a bad review on Artemis Fowl and now its like a book club.Favorite series ever. Has anyone ever been addictid to reading or writing fanfics because i goto fanfiction.net and its like I can make artemis do whatever i want*creeper alert* no jk. but really i personaly (eek i canna spell at all) love the artemis fowl books. unfortunaly i dislike (SPOILER... MABEY--- I DONTKNOW) artemis kissing holly uckk. thats just not cool.as a genuis maeby he would have relized that he was kissing someone possibly hundreds of years older then him. even if not at the moment. what do u think? which artemis fowl book in ur guys` opinion is the best?
Sammi Rae
*is currntly reading a very wonderful book called Outlander by Diana Gabaldon*
Hi, Sammi! Haha, yeah, I agree with you that it's awesome that this has turned into a book club. And I'm not sure how much of this board you've read, so I don't know what you've figured out, but most of the posts from the past three years have come from the same three girls, and it may seem like more than that because two of us have taken to using a character name from the book we're currently reading as our user name. =)
I've read some fanfic, but I haven't written any. I much prefer original works, which is why I go to fictionpress more. Like I said, I've never written fanfic, but I write my own original stories. =)
I can't reasonably say which AF book is the best because I haven't read the earlier books in years and so can't fairly judge them against the later books, which I've read more recently. =D
Slally [Prince Ombra by Roderick MacLeish, published in 1982, but a REALLY interesting book that says that all of history's heroes (such as King Arthur) were born with the same heart and fought the same evil entity known as Prince Ombra (in Arthur's case, Ombra was born into Mordred) and were helped by 'magicians', or teachers (Merlin) and whose stories were told by the 'rememberers' (Sir Bedivere). The book follows the thousand-and-first warrior of the borrowed heart, an eight-year-old boy named Bentley Ellicott who lives in the small town of Stonehaven, Maine. Good book. =) ]
i think the artemis fowl books ar the best i hav read them all from artemis fowl to the time paradox, and they rule
You fool, the books are genius. Your just a pathetic little writer who obviously dsnt have enough natural talent to write anything of any interest to the public so therefore decides to attempt to undermine works of genius, not working no matter what you or any of you synacle little friends may think these books about Artemis are far better than anything you will write in your entire life. DEAL . And just because you dnt believe dsnt mean anyone is listening to your pathetic attempts of writing. Stick to somthing you good at.
Chaaar.x.x: Hey, there's really no need to be insulting. Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion, including this site's owner (someone who, to me, has come across as quite kind and reasonable).
And while I find the Artemis Fowl books very entertaining reads, they are by no means the best books I've read. And please don't harp on me for this - I'm merely stating my opinion.
It's perfectly fine for you to think that these books are genius, but there is really no reason to insult those who think otherwise.
Peace,
