The Fowl Twins

5 stars. How I have hungered for an addition to the Fowl saga! Colfer didn’t disappoint in any way. It was a joy to read after such a long hiatus from the Fowl family. The plot was beautiful and the narration hilarious. And even if it was “kinda gross” at times, it is probably the most exciting, fast-paced story I’ve read in a while. Most of all it made me want to reread all my Colfer books starting with the Supernaturalist followed by every Artemis Fowl book in the series (now if I could only find them in the garage).

Myles and Beckett are two geniuses in their own special ways. Colfer does a wonderful job at distinguishing his characters and making them pop off the page. They all work together for common goals–or selfish ones–and it all works without a hitch.

5 stars. First of all why are there 4 intros? Why couldn’t the book just start? Or has it just been a while since I’ve read a book fancy enough to have acknowledgements, foreward, publishers notes, preface, AND introduction? It was easily 16% of the book!

This book is hilarious and I learned a lot (like how to spell hifalutin). Despite my laugh-out-loud education, I have now been shamed to no end and want to go delete/edit every post I have ever made on anything.

Please go read this book and become a better person.
