The Fowl Twins

Not Artemis Fowl but a worthy addition

Technology of the Faerie people seems to have increased in the years between the last Artemis fowl book and the story of our twins here. I’m a bit confused as to why humanity and the Faerie people have not begun to mix and mingle as was suggested at the end of the Artemis Fowl saga, but the story is still suits the slow progression of this universe and still warms the heart with its fresh new ideas.

Colfer has done it again

Fantastic story that keeps you laughing until the end. The Antics between the two brothers will keep children delighted and parents laughing in fond amusement

A rip roaring good time!

Eoin Colfer is back to it again, fantastical situations made believable. I enjoyed going on this adventure immensely. My only small criticism is of the over explanation of some points. However, it does not take away from the overall story. The author definitely left an open door in the plot for another book.

Brilliant!

As a longtime fan of the Fowl Universe, I’m excited about this new series. It’s witty in every sense of the word. Colfer’s writing and Parker’s narration are a magical combo. I’m eagerly looking forward to the next installment. In the meantime, I’m going to listen again and try to decide which Fowl twin is my favorite!

EXCELLENT!!

LOVE the characters, as always.... looking forward to the next brother's adventures!! hope it's soon!

It's definitely not Artemis!

I Love! soo many of the previous titles by Eoin Colfer, and have in fact listened to them numerous times. They were tightly honed, action propelling storyline and deeply 'insightful' long-winded (but not tedious) descriptions that made you laugh at their sly innuendo or playful ideas artfully presented but only after you were already along some action line which drew your interest. You knew the subjects well through their action - and then their ideas and insights. All endearingly engaging as Eoin is Unbelievably Imaginative!
But sadly...The Fowl Twins starts out soo Droll. It was dreadfully long winded with descriptions and information we could really have lived without until down the line once we Knew the subjects and were fully engaged. Heavy-handed humor spelled out repeatedly instead of slid in sideways or with a quick sly twist. I almost couldnt get through the beginning hour but persevered in hopes. I wondered if it was a different author trying to sound like Eoin Colfer! Similar engaging ideas but poorly presented?
Sad to say, I cannot finish it. Even tho there was finally action, it is just too Trite. Great possibility, poor follow-through.
Deep Sigh. Please come back Eoin!
