why does most people hate AF?

[Meova]

I didn't really have a problem with the English books. It were the Dutch books I had trouble reading But it might be because of my education. Ah well

[jadeprincess]

I love artemis fowl and i only kno 2 ppl who love it as well. and thats my sister and this one girl who i dont see anymore. some guys i kno have read them and one likes them and the other one got bored after the third book and this other girl i kno found them too hard to read.

[carino]

too hard to read, my a**!
That's stupid.

[mman10]

[_i_dont_get_it]

At my school, a lot of people read AF...except I refuse to talk with them very long.
I'm just like that.
I like to talk to people who don't like the same stuff as I do...
Which explains why ALL my friends hate each other...I feel like a delicate block in between them, the only thing keeping them from ripping each other's hair out.
ANYWAYS, my friend is reading AF right now.
She's on page 40-something.
The librarian was talking about AF the other day to out AP Spanish reading class...(they have it in Spanish) but she made it sound cliche and dull.
This is her talking about The Opal Deception:
"So, he goes and kidnaps a fairy, but things don't go as planned..blah, blah. But that's the first book. I'm talking about the fourth book, in which they previously mind-wiped Artemis, and so the fairies come and say 'Yes, we are fairies. You've worked with us before. We need your help."

The summary she gave it HAS GOT TO BE THE WORST ONE I'VE EVER HEARD.
She didn't even say what the plot was...but okay.
It's still sort of popular here.
Not as much as other book series, though.

[Meova]

At least it's popular at your school. At mine, no one will read it. NO ONE!

[KristorniaKort]

Had no idea people hated AF.
I dont have that many friends to recomend it to, for various reasons... but I have gotten my best friend(same age as me) to read AF, and she has my other books too. She is going to read them when she has time....
I'm 22 and read AF last summer and I absolutely love him , dont think I'm too old...
As long as you like fantasy and reading about it I dont think you HAVE to be a certain age. But maybe its just me thats special...

Is there something I have missed out on..? Why cant you read AF if your religious?
I don't get it.

[Cabaline]

I don't get it either. I think some religions revolve around magic being a sin or something like that.

[veelagirl]

WHAT!?!?!?! WHO HATES AF??????? im going to hunt them down and force them to repent...

[Meova]

I don't get it either. I think some religions revolve around magic being a sin or something like that.

Catholics think magic is something from the devil. That's mostly what people think. I know it's not. I think you know it's not. Only they don't know it.

Magic- Quote from the Bible: " You Mother !@%^$#^&! MAGIC AND SORCERY ARE EVIL, AND YOU SHOULD, LIKE, TOTALLY WHALE ON THE PEOPLE WHO PRACTICE OR EVEN LIKE THE IDEA OF IT! Go and do my word, so says your leader!"

I love you, 1holly.
That's hilarious. But why do they think magic is evil???

[Meova]

Dunno. Ask God. I think they think magic is something the devil uses to get what he wants.

[AF-FAN 1O5]

i think they hate af because they can't get a good summery of it.once i read an article about the graphic novel and i caught the word "FOWLER MANNER" what? fowl-er manner? ud'e think the people who write these things never even wrote the book.any way, i hav a few friends who read it and i can acually have good disscussions about it.
