I read the Opal Deception. I feel dumb for not realizing who was the main baddie straight away, but... :P
It was really wonderful, but a bit sad.

Just finished Arctic Incident, and profoundly glad that this space is spoiler-free. Whee-ooo, that was a trip. Chix Verbil must have been planned for a totally different role by the time the first book came out, but this one gets you into the drama much more than the first one.

Main gripe: What the heck happened to Juliet?!

I have all 3 and read them all about a dozen times each, I'm wanting to read the 3rd one again. They are awsome.

The Opal Deception set things up perfectly for a sequel.

Whoo, better believe it does....I read it about a month ago, it was brilliant. And the cover is shiny and distracting. <3 :P

Ehs. I read the first and third one and I didn't really like them that much. I mean, they were ok, but I found Artemis quite braggy. I thought that the series would end after Eternity Code, but guess not. The ending of Eternity Code was good though. But I don't really like the sarcastic tone of the series.

Really? I like the braggy and sarcastic thing. It gives it so much character. <3 Yeah, I read the 4th recently-definitely his best work! I hope there's a fifth, though maybe that would just be overkill...

Many thanks to .:Requiem:. for the set!

My brother and I had a arguement ever since the Eternity Code came out...I said the last chapter made it obvious there would be another book while he said there wouldn't be. When The Opal Decption Came out, I rubbed it in his face for a month...And paid him ten bucks to let me read it first. :lol:

I think I've read book 1 a long time ago and stopped halfway because I felt it was boring. Well, maybe it's different now because my English is much better and maybe I just didn't understand the story back then. :D

Does anyone care to tell me a short summary about the story? :hug:

Basically it's about the Faerie world and a super genius 13 year old Called Artemis Fowl. He lives on his own with his bodyguard, Butler, and he uses his brainpower for crime. Well that's the first book anyway :)

Anybody got any idea when the Lost Colony is coming out?

According to wikipedia, 9/7/2006 in the UK and 9/15/2006 in the USA. It also says that a different book, Artemis Fowl: The Seventh Dwarf, was put out in 2004 as part of World Book Day. I assume that means it's not available.

I think you can find em on eBay but yeah they don't sell them anymore - I think it was just a lil sub-story about Mulch though :)

*checks ebay*

OH! This story was included in The Artemis Fowl Files. I see, it was printed single for the event.
