Those look a bit creepy actually.I LOVE Artemis Fowl. My favorite books in the series are Artemis Fowl, The Time Paradox, and The Atlantis Complex.
I've only read the first two so far, but I like them both a lot- and after my library book stack dwindles a bit more, I'm going to continue them. :)
I know how that feels.I love all of them, but I particularly like the first, the Eternity Code and the Opal Deception (except for the part where (view spoiler)). And all the others. They're so funny.

I plan to. I have this *problem* where everytime I go to one of my local libraries, I tend to pick up multiple books and then my stack grows so much that i can't keep up with it. :)
That's what I do, although I don't get to go to the library that often anymore, so instead I put stuff that sounds even slightly interesting on hold, and then they all come in at once right when I have so much homework I don't even have time to sleep. The situation is just made worse when I realize I have all these good books waiting for me and I can't read them.
Ugh, that sucks. I just check like 3 books out at a time--and we only go to the library when we have stuff to turn in thats about to be due--but in a family of 6 (well 5 really since my older sister's away at college) and a big reading family at that (really my younger sis, older brother and I- my dad doesn't check that many out and my mom's a slow reader), we go every week or two.

Oh...I dont like them. Not at all.
Here is a picture of some of the covers:
I like the ones in the middle row best. They're the ones that I have :)
For me the best artemis fowls would be the first part and the eternity code. I loved Artemis till he was cold and evil. Sadly he seems to be becoming all goody goody in the later parts.
I like the original covers the best. The rest are weird. (then again, the ones I have are in that design, so...)
@JessicaI like the middle too. The letters 'AF' in the last row are cool.
@Maxime
I liked the evil AF too.
I have all of the top ones. Except Atlantis Complex. I didn't want to wait for the right book cover to come out so I just bought it bottom row style.
I think that the first three were decent and that it should have ended there. It seemed like after that, he was just writing for money and the books were just weird.
The books were weird, yes, but that's not due to writing for money. That's due to it being an incredibly weird (and awesome) series.
It just seemed to me, like it was meant to be a trilogy. I mean the ending of the last book... It was perfect, ambiguous ending, but enough of that! I don't want to bash books or anything. I thought they were quite clever. And I loved the codes at the bottom :D
Yeah!! Apparently the next one, there might have some romance in the air for Holly And Artemis!! hehe!!
I know, but stranger things have happened!! lolI just hope The last book is action filled and not too much romance! lol
Yeah, but in terms of relative age, like dogs years, they're around the same age, and they've been through so much together, saved each others lives multiple times, lost three years of their lives together, etc. Not sure I definitely want it, but the romance wouldn't surprise me, and I've been expecting it, to be honest.I think having the Gnommish at the bottom was a great touch. Personally, I thought that the ending of the third was leaving it set up for a sequel. I could never see the series ending like that.
I still havent read it! Im so annoyed with my self! I LOVED The Time Paradox to pieces, and I remember throwing a tantrum that I would have to wait two years for the next one. Now the next one is out, I havent even purchase it yet!
Maybe I'll wait until the 8th one is out, so I can read them back-to-back :)
I'm surprised I have the self-control to wait to buy books. Oh wait, no I'm not. I don't have the funds half the time. :)
That sucks. I'm always at the library- and my school libraries have never been all that great. But my town has a library and then the neighboring city (where i go to school since there are no high schools in the town) has one- and branches in other neighboring cities/towns, but we never go to the branches.
My town has a library that's great on it's own, and is also part of a library system, so it's VERY rare that I can't get a book I want, although I might have to wait a while for it to come in on hold (the number of books they don't have that I want has increased since I've been on GR, and particularly this group though). The school library is good for a school library, but not that great, and it's good enough in a pinch, but not for most of the time.I almost never buy books. If we do, it's for holidays or sometimes camp (although sometimes I just use the library. You can take a book out for three weeks and camp is three weeks long, so...) Of course, it's partly because we have such a great library that we don't go to the bookstore. There's no need, I guess, and if we bough all the books we took out from the library, we would be broke. Eight years ago.
I can't imagine if my mom wouldn't take me to the library. (Or pick up the millions of books I put on hold).
Seriously. My life be like, tragic. It would be so different, I would like, have to find other things to do with my time! *le gasp!* I like owning books, but I mean, it obviously rarely happens.Most of the time I buy books that I've already read because I've gotten them out of the library or a friend loaned it to me.
I use any excuse I can to buy a book, but I don't mind just using the library. Which is a very good thing, because as I mentioned before, I love my library. It is, quite literally, my life.Last year, for either my birthday or Hanukkah, my mom didn't get me any books, because she figured I could just go to the library or something like that. I was so upset. She hasn't made that mistake again.
