To Jan: first of all, do you have a blog and can I add you to my sidebar under “people who read me”? Secondly, if you like sci-fi…or fairy tales…or just a hell of a good intrigue…I WHOLEHEARTEDLY recommend the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer. I’ve been listening to them on audio from the library. #1- Artemis Fowl. #2- Artemis Fowl: the Arctic Incident. #3- Artemis Fowl: the Eternity Code. Found out a few weeks ago that there was a 4th in the series, Artemis Fowl: the Opal Deception. Finished it tonight on my way home. Nearly cried. Not that it was sad…I had missed the characters so much that I was punching the air with excitement when the new book started. Now I’m sad all over again that it’s over. I don’t know how to describe these books and really don’t want to spoil anything, but I guarantee if you like a good story, a good plot, a little fantasy or sci-fi and characters you will love, check this series out! The author describes it as “Die Hard” with fairies…and he’s not far off! Really, really good stuff.
