So long, Artemis Fowl.

Phew.  It'll be over soon, and I can stop feeling guilty about the only person on the planet to not be a huge fan of the series.

From the Guardian (and some might find this spoiler-y, so skip it if you're worried):

"He will be faced with a choice where he can be kind to somebody and he won't gain anything, or he can be unkind and he will find a million dollars in a suitcase, and he will choose the nice way, and that will be the end," he explained. "That's how I'm going to finish it, on a very simple choice."

I remember when the first one showed up at the Monkey. You're not the only non-fan.

I had to struggle to finish the first one and haven't taken a look at the second. For me, Artemis wasn't interesting enough to really care about.

I agree. Catherine Jinks' Evil Genius was way more fun than Artemis.

I enjoyed the first 3 (very Bond-like and full of adventure), which is all there was originally supposed to be. When 4 came out, I was pretty angry because there was no way he should have been able to continue it (sorta). So I stopped reading them.

I'm so glad to see it end though. It didn't need to go on so long...

I read the first one and it was sort of OK. My daughter likes them. I'm not a fan.

[Jess]

I only read the first one and felt pretty "meh" about it.

[Lisa]

I only read one Artemis Fowl book. I would go so far as to call myself an "Artemis Fowl active disliker."

[Kaethe]

Couldn't get through the first one or the graphic novel version. Not a fan.

[Gail Gauthier]

I definitely enjoyed the early books, but I think it's a series that went on too long.

The boy genius Artemis Fowl can’t be nasty anymore, is a hilarious thought, kudos to Eoin Colfer for this

Not a fan of Artemis either, but I ADORED Airman.
