Eoin Colfer

My first run in with Eoin Colfer's books was his Artemis Fowl series. I had seen them in the book store and they always seemed to sell well. When my daughter started mentioning it, I decided to take the plunge. I read the first couple of books and an have been hooked ever since. Since my first reading of Artemis Fowl (I am planning on re-reading them all...), I have also tried his other books. It amazes me how different the books are and the different voices present in each. From "Artemis Fowl" which is a blend of fantasy and sci fi, to "Airman" which is an alternate reality of the 1800's, to "Half-Moon Investigations" which is like a young Sherlock Holmes meets a playground gumshoe. Each that I have read have been enjoyable and full of unexpected turns.

Moreover, my children have loved the books as well. We don't own all his books, nor have I read all his books as seen below, but those that we do own, we buy in hardbound. It Mr. Colfer writes a book, I am going to buy it eventually.

I haven't tried the Benny Shaw or Ed series yet. It is my understanding that they are targeting a younger audience than I usually read, but I will probably pick them up from the library one of these days.

I am very excited for the last Artemis Fowl which is supposedly due to come out early August. My goal will be to re-read the other books (and review them) before then. We'll see how that goes. Just started a new job, so might not have the time I normally do, but I am going to try.
