Artemis Fowl is quite possibly my favorite book series ever. Witty and humorous, yet fantasy all the way, Eoin Colfer wrote a series that made me seriously reconsider literature.
Where to begin?
Artemis Fowl is a criminal genius who becomes the first cross-species thief. He realizes that are subterranean creatures know as fairies that are very similar to humans, except with abilities like flying, super strength, and being able to eat cows. He kidnaps one of them, and elf named Holly Short (A tad appropriate, as she is a centimeter under three feet), and holds her for ransom. Holly, who is a member of the LEP ( Lower Element Police), starts an entire siege where the elite policemen and women try valiantly to rescue here, only to be plowed through by Artemis’ manservant, Butler. And that is just the first book. Eoin Colfer has created some holy beast of literature, and I would recommend you pay it a visit.
