Just wanted to say that I really love your books, ALL of them! I am most likly older than most of your fans, I’m 24. My sister in law reads most the books her kids read and she got me hooked on the Artemis books. Then I found your other books. (Just read Airman, loved it!) I have to say that you are one of my new fav. authors. Thanks for writing great books!

hey! I love the artemis fowl books, and I am currently under the impression that you will be making a movie? if so… please dont. I dont think there is any director in the world that could capture the story on screen as you have told it in book. and if you absolutely MUST make your books into a movie. Jason stathom as butler freddie hugmore as artemis and the girl from josie and the pussy cats as holly. also. I CANT WAIT FOR BOOK SIX!!! I want to know more about butler. his past is the one that no one really knows about…. I think you should make him his own little “side story” and tell his story from when he was younger. ok…

thats all.. I like the old characters better than the new ones… so good luck writing! I love it!

omg mr eoin i absolutely love your artemis fowl series!!!!!! did you know that those books have been in my cousin’s book shelf around 4 years ago ? and i only started reading them in mid-january? and ever since then, i am so sad that artemis is fictional! and i totally agree with “Bob” A. that artemis should be really hot but im afraid that the movie will be different from the book, so im probably not going to watch it just in case it changes my perspective but i can’t wait for book 6 to come out! i want to find out more about holly’s past and mulch’s bahind and im sure everyone wants to know if minerva&artemis gets together

you rock mr eoin!

heh, ironic that I appeared on this blog to ask for advice on writing (and hopefully publishing)^^;;;. YAY 6th book!!! *can feel the book hype already*
You rock, I am a major fan of yours, and I definitely don’t think you’re a novice.. look at all the great books you’ve graced the world with! I was actually miserable when I lent all my Artemis Fowl Books to my friend… I missed them so *insert dramatic sniffle here*
I agree with “Bob” *also has the shifty eyes* Artemis should be hot. *fans self*, and if he is, I officially offer my services as an elf in the movie, or a walk on role ^-^. My friends and I are all big fans, most of us read quite a bit (I especially read a lot, which is sad, because there are so few bookstores where I live and even less libraries) and people swear we’re talking about real people, the way we go “OMG, and when Artemis was… and Holly… and then… OMG!!” We even went on a long rant about Minerva (“I like her, she’s just so.. Artemislike!” “yeah, all genius and such” “I think they’re cute together” etc) before people realised that they’re fictional.
People like you inspire me to write. Now all I need is inspiration to type what I write *hefts around bags of notebooks to write stories in*. Good luck with writing the 6th book!

How can you call yourself a novice? You are an incredible author! Your characters are not like the typical characters from other novels, tv shows, or movies. I like it.
I cannot wait until the next book! Not only that, but I have the graphic novel and movie to look forward to. I started the series only recently because my brother had recommended it. Now it has become my favorite series! I plan to read your other novels soon!
And you are correct on saying some of the people posting here are possible writers-to-be, because I know that is the case for me. I’m trying to make all my characters as interesting as yours, but I tend to make all the female protagonists like myself, and the other characters are not too different.
Also, have you seen the fan art of Artemis Fowl? I’ll show you a couple of my favorites I have seen done on Deviantart.com here:
http://joodlez.deviantart.com/art/Artemis-Fowl-some-spoilers-41082218
http://joodlez.deviantart.com/art/More-Artemis-Fowl-spoilers-41362980

I love those pictures. The artist drew them as I picture them in the book.
Anyways, I hope good actors are chosen for the chosen for the Artemis Fowl movies, especially for Artemis his self (he’d better be hot ;D erm, I mean… what? Who said that *shifty eyes* )
Well, thanks for your time! I hope you read this. It would be a real honor. I hope that I can be even half the writer someday that you are now.
Sincerely,
“Bob” (it’s in quotes because it’s not my real name. My real name is-)

I don’t really think of you as a beginner, Mr. Colfer. On the contrary, you use the clever combination of plot intricacy and comprehensive context to weave a tapestry of immersing, addictive stories in all your novels (I have read each one).

Well, O.K., perhaps you are a beginner, but you are a damn good one.

I find it especially interesting that you had already written some of “The Lost Colony” before realizing it was an Artemis story. What did you intend it to be initially, and did you plan to continue the Artemis Fowl series?

Your books, like so many of the fantasy books of today, play two important parts:
1. They appeal to both children and adults, and
2. They encourage children to read more, as the children discover how entertaining this pastime can be.
I credit my success as a student, a writer, and an intelligent and participating human being to my abiding love of reading. Please, continue to write, Mr. Colfer, and inspire many like me.

Oh, and you better not mess up this final book.

Don’t worry, I have faith in you.

All the best,
Vanna

Artemis Fowl is my absolute favorite book series! I can’t believe I didn’t want to read them at first! (Long story short, I was in 3rd grade at the time and “Stay back human, you don’t know what you’re dealing with” was a little too much for me, but who wouldn’t want you to read the books that they toiled endless moons over? So I thought, it must be good.) Anyway, I am overly excited about the 6th installment of this incredible series and I soooo look foward to seeing what happens! I love it when I read your books and then come across this half of a sentence that keeps me cracking up for a half an hour. I get this secret little smile when I figure things out and when Artemis is stumped. But anyway, thank you for all that inspirational talk for young writers! I started this book (well, it was more of an idea, really) about a year ago and I never got to writing it on paper(I’m actually very lazy and tend to procrastinate SP? on schoolwork, but don’t get me wrong!I would die if I got an A-! Especially in science!) You’ve really helped me start writing again, and I greatly appreciate that. Did I mention that I’ve done at least one book report on each of the Artemis Fowl since I picked them up? So that means that you have to keep writing more and more of them books for all the book reports I have to write. Oh, and in the future, I think you should have a character that is really really shy (to an extent that she could barely stand up for herself) who has a crush on Arty. That would complicate things and make me smile.
