Free @ Amazon - Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer (YA Fantasy)
link

I almost bought this recently when it was on sale, noticed tonight that it's free. Published by Disney Hyperion.

Quote:
Twelve-year-old Artemis Fowl is a millionaire, a genius—and, above all, a criminal mastermind. But even Artemis doesn't know what he's taken on when he kidnaps a fairy, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit. These aren't the fairies of bedtime stories; these fairies are armed and dangerous. Artemis thinks he has them right where he wants them…but then they stop playing by the rules.

I found the book okay. A bit too over the top, but readers with a good fantasy will like it.

I have the series in paper and scan. Nice read.
YA but enough gags of the kind to make older audience have a good laugh.
Certainly a good chunk of whatifness about feyfolk enduring contemporary humans.

I seem to remember there was a coded message along the bottom of the page in the paper version. I assume that's not reproduced in the ebook?

Oh thanks you reminded me of that it would interest me too. curious if something like that could be done with an epub for those not familiar with it: think a page footer line, with content longer than a page, so it goes on over the following ones

This is available in KF8 and converts well to ePub using the Mobi-unpack and Modify ePub plugins.

I thought it was pitched a bit too young for me to really enjoy it. I still read all three volumes of the boxed set I picked up cheap, though. And then gave it away to a charity shop.

Looks like it's an Amazon price match for only the US and Canada. This is a Starbuck's "Pick of the Week" to promote the final book of the series which was released in July.

Oh, so Colfer has lead it to an end. Nice to know. Thanks. Will have a look at that when it's translated. Don't like to mix languages within a series.
