How Did You Find Out About Artemis?

[E.N.HA]

I was browsing in a bookstore when I was 13 and saw this really shiny golden book with 'Artemis Fowl' across the cover... I picked up the really shiny blue one next to it (TAI) and opened it to read a sample. I read something witty about "even polar bears wearing scarves" or whatever and thought, Hey, now here's something different. Was I ever right. I bought the first book and ever since I've practically staked out that section of bookstores.

My BFF recomended it to me 'bout 2 years back. I thought it was going to be boring, but I got hooked from the first page! Now I'm farther along in the series then my friend is. Not to mention more addicted to it.

Cool! B) I am so glad i can hang out wiv ppl who know what im talking about when i mention foaly, artemis, mulch or butler instead of just saying; Huh? Wah? Hmm? It gets annoying and ppl think im a bit weird. THAT IS AN INSULT 2 EOIN COLFER AND FOWL FANS!!! I say we start a revolution against ppl who dont know about Artemis Fowl and co.

:adminpower:

Yeah and if they dont take notice...

And if they REALLY get on our nerves we can...

and we can smash up their video games and computers

And if they still dont listen...

end eventually we will...

:grr: :biggun: HAHA sweet revenge!!!

i agree it's annoying but dont u think thats going overboard? and a little too violent? plus its not there fault they dont know who AF is.

Well i found out when i was looking around my school library earlier this year, i saw the book, read the back, and was like "woah, thats awesome!" and checked out the 1st and 2nd book and LOVED them, then i came back and checked out all of them 2 at a time!!! lol!!!



srry, i just lov those!

My friend told me to read it.

I first read the book when I picked it up from my own bookshelf. It was actually sitting there for some time because I didn't knew that it was that good!
I'm glad I picked it up at that time.

I may or may not have said this already, but I first met Artemis at the library. I love the library. Stupid fines.

[Jayjay]

I love the library too, especially the school one, where I'm a librarian and there aren't any fines.

Hmm...the first time I met dear Arty was when this boy I had a love/hate relationship with was talking about and I just nodded along saying oh yeah I know that book. Although to be fair my aunt had bought me TOD so yeah. But as you can guess I was going to read the series chronologically so off to the library I went.

Aaaah, memories

[Felina]

Well...
I was in a library and the librarian showed me that book and I read it.
After that I was searching on the Internet something more about Artemis and I found this forum and...
Now I'm here

in the words of muscle man from cartoon network's regular show my mom!

Ducky made me read them and I'm very glad she did (I know her in real life)

When I was in sixth grade, at age 11, my teacher read the first AF book to my class during Teacher Read Aloud. I thought that it was such a weird book! I mean, a book about a bad guy! I thought the ending was so sweet, but then that little note from Dr. J. Argon almost ruined it for me! Since it was my teacher reading it, I thought that it was from Eoin Colfer, and therfore, true! So, I didn't think much about it, for the rest of the year.

Then, in seventh grade, at age 12, my first year of junior high, I was looking for a book to read in Homeroom. I saw the second AF book, remembered the first AF book, and decided to read it. That's what officially got me hooked on the series. It turns out that I like a book a lot better if I read it myself, not if it's read to me. I've loved the characters and Eoin Colfer ever since. I am now 15, heading into tenth grade, and right now, I'm excitedly awaiting the last book, and, possibly, a movie in the very distant future!!!

I found a kid on Facebook who looked scarily like a character on a book cover that I saw, and after research and a lot of attempting to rack my lack of a short term memory for the book, I realised that It was Artemis Fowl. As I remembered it from my uncle's bookshelf, as he likes the books. I got "The Time Paradox" a few years ago as a gift, (a joke from a friend who saw the title and thought it would be funny ) but never really cared to read it, because I thought that it looked a little weird.

I bought the first 3 books, and so the Fowl obsession began... xD
I can relate to the character not only personality wise.. but, yeah.. so I thought that it was the best thing since the invention of the PS3 and XBox.

from our class's book talk (i failed it ) two guys did their's on Artemis Fowl (AF and TP (i don't feel like writing the whole title but you can figure it out)) and theni startted reading them.

Well I was in my class room and I had nothing to read so I ranomly picked a book off of the shelf, it was AF the Opal Deception. So I started to read it and I loved it ever since!
