Bookwitch

A very early glimpse of Artemis

July 15, 2008 · 5 Comments

I have been a naughty witch. Again. And, no, I’m not about to give you lot a very premature review of the new Artemis Fowl. You have to wait another three weeks for that.

My teen reviewers broke up yesterday, for the summer holidays. So, to celebrate summer, here is one sample of a review. The naughty aspect is that Charlie wasn’t meant to read Artemis at all, because, as the owner of the local bookshop said, he needs to read other books, too. Well, he did. And he liked the alternative book as well.

Anyway, the witch lent him her proof of Artemis, in secret. Charlie is not only a keen reader and reviewer, but he’s crafty, too. His review of the book can be found on Eoin’s website, carefully edited for spoilers.

That’s my boy! Well, he isn’t, really, but you know what I mean.

    I would have published a review on my website. Only it would have looked a bit out of place. Erm, could have said it was written by Mr P. I suppose…

    Foaly – nice to meet you over here. I’ve long admired your hats; not to mention your brains. And Charlie’s not cheeky. I’ve rarely met such a well behaved male that age. And by rare coincidence, the whippersnapper speaks Swedish, if not very much. And it’s hard to resist Eoin fans when you meet them.

    Ian – don’t be silly!

    Well, we’ve learnt from Artemis. And it does show what good reviewers you are nurturing in your groups.
