Doctor Who Fan I♥♥DW Just post anything about this book or any book Eoin Colfer has written.


Such as: I <3 ARTEMIS FOWL!!!!!!!!


Shelldon (Aspiring Ninja) I really liked the reluctant assassin, but the whole way through it I was thinking 'Needs more Butler'. Gotta love Butler.


Aurora Was it just me, or did he reference both Artemis Fowl and Half-Moon Investigations? There was a house of Half-Moon Street, and Agent Orange/Felix Smart mentioned the possibility of there being a Murmansk office, which is where the events of the Arctic Incident took place. I may be being paranoid, but I'm not sure. What do you say?


Dana I enjoyed the book, but I really think that a time travel book set in England NEEDs references to Dr. Who.

Colfer has a knack for subtly referring to his other books. In one AF, Artemis' chess prodigy persona shares a name with a character from The Supernaturalist, and in The Reluctant Assassin, a character from Airman actually makes an appearance (which I absolutely loved). Just another reason I love Eoin Colfer. ^_^


Grim Its cute if he did reference his other books - and no Dr Who was NOT needed.

I liked some artemis fowl, not others, but this book was great. Couldn't put it down.

On a whole this was a great book, I liked the rips offs from 20th century, and other asides, everything just gelled perfectly for me.

Its sequels out this month "The Hangmans Revolution" and I'm really looking forwards to it.
