Outstanding Childrens Series,
By Kalika (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Artemis Fowl 3-book boxed set (The Rise of the Criminal Mastermind) (Paperback)
This set contains the first three books in the Artemis Fowl series. Eoin Colfer is a master at writing fast paced, entertaining stories. His characters are amazing, particularly for a children's series. They start out very static in the first book, but the development as the series progresses is refreshing to find. Most authors for younger audiences do not bother to advance their character's at all and simply rely on an extravagant plot to capture their audience. But as a further bonus the stories themselves are no less engaging despite the obvious focus on the characters. In fact the progression, and maturation of Colfer's writing in each subsequent book is a welcome change to most series that tend to peak early and then steadily decline towards their end.Anyone who enjoys the genre of fantasy/supernatural should purchase these books. Though they are short and obviously for a juvenile audience, the series is surprisingly entertaining for people of all ages. If you're not looking for a profound, life changing narrative, you can just enjoy the good-natured humor, and fast paced action.

We have enjoyed reading these books over the winter vacation. My sons who are 13 and 11 really enjoyed them and I did as well.

This review is from: Artemis Fowl 3-book boxed set (The Rise of the Criminal Mastermind) (Paperback)
This was a gift.My sister, who is in her teens, loves this series. It's one of her favorites. She also enjoys books like Harry Potter, to which this is similar except the main character is a super villain. I looked everywhere to find a good price on a box set. Looks like this place gives the best deal for 3-book set. There used to be another set but that one was priced a LOT higher per book. If you are going to collect books, I would recommend getting all 3 here. It's cheaper than buying the 3 books individually or buying this set in most other places unless you get it used.

Opening doors for discussing choices in life,

This review is from: Artemis Fowl 3-book boxed set (The Rise of the Criminal Mastermind) (Paperback)
I heard the author interviewed on NPR. I liked the way he talked about writing for young people. My grandson is 9 and can easily read these himself. However, the opportunity to continue reading to him does so many things beyond the story. We stop and discuss the possible reasons for making a dicision, what the outcome might be, how would he handle this particular situation. He continues to set records for reading the most books at his school. Books like these keep him excited about each new adventure. He is anxious to order to remaining books in this series. His teacher asked to borrow the first three books over the coming holiday.
