Book Review - Artemis Fowl I & II
"Artemis Fowl" - a book I wanted to read from time to time, just because it was so long in the Kitchen.
I do not know what I expected when I finally got to read, certainly not a story in the fantasy, adventure, thriller and comedy in such fascinating way connected like "Artemis Fowl". The book - or rather, the books are exciting, imaginative and very funny, very original, the plot.
'Artemis Fowl' is the beginning of the first volume of a boy of 12 years, but he is by far not an ordinary boy. Artemis is the youngest member of an Irish crime family, was taken to make matters worse, a tragic way to their property. Artemis's father is considered lost, maybe even dead, so it's up to Artemis to restore the family honor, and procure the money back.
fact that Artemis does not leave here with a filthy bank robbery, but equally the people of the underworld a Quantity Elves Gold blackmailed speaks to the cunning and the criminal energy of this boy and for the creativity of its creator, the author Eoin Colfer.
The world of underground, such as Eoin Colfer describes us is fantastic and yet not so, how they might know from other fantasy worlds, or it is commonly imagined.
There are the elves, little creature with pointed ears, which use the natural magic, as well as the winged fairies and gnomes, a totally cool way, that by digging the earth about the nature of an earthworm and eject their digestive system from time to large gas clouds must one not to be underestimated destructiveness . Have The base police can rely on shuttles that fly through the clouds on magma core of the earth, and has the most modern telecommunications technologies, as well as defensive techniques against us, the above-ground, like something recount the time hold or view. And that's not all!
So much can be said that Colfer describes this unknown Wetlt 'among us' absolutely humorous and affectionate detail, vividly portrays his characters and sometimes almost caricature and introduces the reader to plenty of tension-packed and adventurous chapter.
'Artemis Fowl' is a children's and young people, this can be observed quite clearly. It does not have the complexity and depth, such as a 'Lord of the Rings', are guaranteed for the almost 550 pages of the first two volumes of reading fun and excitement, even for older readers.
hats I liked it!
