Hello Mr. Colfer…

Congratualations. You have made a fangirl happy for nearly four years. I’ve been a huge fan of yours since the…um, fifth grade. I’m going into 10th now…so make that five. *sigh* Not everyone can be as smart as Artemis. Anways, just wanted to say thanks for your amazing books. They’re on my list of favorites, next to Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight series, and anything by Dean Koontz. I’m also an art fan, so this whole graphic novel thing is making me happy. I just think you are an amazing guy for writing books that make kids want to read. I also think Artemis could beat Harry Potter anyday…or have Butler do it.

Thanks again, and hello from Alabama, USA.

Mr. Colfer,

I have enjoyed the Artemis Fowl series and I await the next. I am an advid reader. have read “Lord of the Rings” on more than one occasion. Big fan of the “Harry Potter” books, and I also enjoy Dean Koontz and Steven King (his Dark Tower series is excellent)

My son and daughter (20 and 25, respectively) were involved in soccer (football) for many years and I have been im my car as well (no video blog, however).

Thanks for the books. Greetings from Dayton, Ohio.

Ron

It rained six out of the nine days I was in France too! Fantasy books, hmm, I guess the newest fantasy book I’ve picked up is the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. I didn’t think I’d like it at first. I was like, “Man, another vampire novel,” but once I got into reading it was really good. Lord of the Rings is something that HAS to be read. The movies do their best, but don’t really do the books justice. I’ve just started reading this other guy, Christopher Moore. He has some pretty interesting books. He’s a funny writer too. The first five books Amelia Atwater-Rhodes wrote were really good (though they were all vampire books). She wrote her first book at thirteen years-old. Anything by Cornelia Funke is really good too. Her endings are always a surprise; they don’t follow the normal happy endings everybody hopes for.

Your loyal fan,
Breeze

Dear Mr. Colfer

It’s really cool you’re doing this v-blog. I believe we are in an age of dreams, where the future is tomorrow and what is new quickly becomes old. perhaps it is because dreams are so real these days that we so much enjoys reading?

Since no one mentioned it, the audio could be a lot better. It’s kinda hard to hear what you’re saying, and it’s harder for us who’s native langauge isn’t english.

Mr. Colfer,
i know how you feel about the raining thing. It’s been raining for about a week here in Lame-o-town, USA.
i’m a definite fantasy freak, starting with classical fairy tales, then progressing to McKinley’s Damar books, to other such as the Chronicles of Narnia, the Tortall books by the author that I forgot the name of… her books are good, until you get to the PG-13 parts…, along with other random books that I forget (horrible of me, I know). I actually stayed away from the Artemis Fowl series till I moved here, since someone made the mistake of telling me that Artemis Fowl was just like Harry Potter, and since I am adamently against the Potter books for personal (not religious) reasons, I stayed away from them till I got curious, seeing as I had almost exhausted my library, and I was instantly hooked. I am now reading the Charlie Bone series, and rereading McKinley’s books, and reading the Dragons in our Midst series, with is a great blend of Christianity and the King Arthur ‘myths’. I’m also rewriting a book for the fourth time, but that’s another story.

Your writing has been a great inspiration to me, Mr. Colfer, and I hope your writing will still be popular in future years, so that future generations may have the benefit of your imagination.

Dear Mr Colfer,

I really should try my hand at reading Lord of the Rings. The films were amazing, but I feel slightly rubbish about not having read the series.
I totally need to start reading more!

I like the rain. Provided it’s proper rain with the splashing and the dancing - the type of rain people write poems about. Not any of that misty, gets-in-your-eyes sort that seems to both drench and chill you to the bone.

I am loving the video blogs! They are the best! You rock! Cheers!

Yay *happy dance* LotR is truly a classic that will live on forever, as long as people still know how to read.

However, I don’t think some of the younger fans have the ability to read through and understand over 1,000 pages of a book yet, but when they grow older, they sure will!

Also, yay we have a release date for your next novel, though it’s not Artemis Fowl (yet). I’m still going to get Airman, though!

Have fun in France!

Dear Mr. Eoin Colfer,

I love the Artemis Fowl seris. Even better than Harry Potter and Great Brain.
You are one of my favourite authors.
I am also writing a story which I hope will get published.
But what I really want to do is help people.
Anyway, I can not wait for Artemis Fowl book 6. And I seriously can not wait for the movie.
I also love your ‘Legend of…’ books. And currently I am reading ‘The Wish List’.
It is so interesting. I wonder what happens to Meg at the end.
Oh yes…I love all your books.
But may I also reccommend a book for you. ALso from one fo my favourite authors. The Tale Of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo.

- Yours Truly,
Shannan Mann!
