Seveneves was a lot in many ways, and I came out of it just wanting something easy and entertaining; the Artemis Fowl trailer dropped over the holidays, so it was a natural pick. I remembered enjoying the story when I read the first book a very long time ago, and I figured I’d give it another go round to see how it had held up. Sometimes after a lot of broccoli, you just want a handful of popcorn. The series by Eoin Colfer follows the […]

Lost in Translation to Graphic

Artemis Fowl: The Graphic Novel by Eoin Colfer, Giovanni Rigano, Paolo Lamanna

I have read the original novel. In fact, I’ve also read all but the final novel in the original series. I was curious about the graphic novel adaptation. Given that the original Artemis Fowl is a YA novel, I figured a comic book style version would be reasonably similar. It both was and was not. The basic plot remains the same: devious genius Artemis and his loyal body guard/butler Butler devise a plan to kidnap a fairy for reasons which will not be revealed until […]

Right in the Feels

June 6, 2017 by Ale Leave a Comment

So anything I said about Mr. Colfer not hitting the right emotional cues in his last book have totally been remedied in the third Fowl installment. Here I was, rolling along through this fun-loving YA series about a boy criminal mastermind and his faerie acquaintances and BOOM. First chapter Mr. Colfer shoots you right in the feels on page 10. At the risk of giving anything away, I won’t be writing heavy on this book’s plot details because you should just read it, but let’s suffice […]

A Romping Fowl Time

May 20, 2017 by Ale Leave a Comment

Whew! Finally in the double digits for reviews! Last CBR I reviewed the first of the Artemis Fowl books, and I loved it so much I went hunting for the rest of the series. All of our favorite characters are back! Holly, Root, everyone’s favorite pre-teen mastermind, and excitingly, Mulch Diggums, who is my personal squee character. While this installment started out a little rocky, it finds its footing about a quarter of the way though and becomes the romping fun adventure we were all […]

The Foulest Fowl

November 11, 2016 by Ale 2 Comments

A friend of mine has been trying to get me to read Artemis Fowl for literally years, and I finally conceded. Why did I wait so long to read this book? Why did I keep putting this off? Artemis Fowl is fantastic! Artemis Fowl is a twelve-year-old super genius and the son of a ne’er do well age-old Irish crime family called the Fowls. His father has gone missing after losing a large quantity of the family fortune and his mother has locked herself in […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
