Eoin Colfer (pronounced Owen) was born in Wexford on the South-East coast of Ireland in 1965, where he and his four brothers were brought up by his father and mother, who were both educators.
He received his degree from Dublin University and began teaching primary school in Wexford. He has lived and worked all over the world, including Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and Italy. After the publication of the Artemis Fowl novels, Eoin retired from teaching and now writes full time. He lives in Ireland with his wife and two children.
Sehr spannender Reihenbeginn. Das Worldbuilding der Welt der Unterirdischen ist genial. Vor allem der Blickwinkel, aus dem die unterirdische Welt das Normale und die oberirdische die "fremde" ist, finde ich klasse. Ich freue mich schon auf Band 3.
I think the books were fun! The characters and the world-building are interesting and the writing style is good in general. And it’s cool to see a kid’s book with a cast of characters with such diverse morals
Since i already did a review on the first, i'll do one on the second. I had started it almost immediately after i finished the first, and it was consistent and completely unpredictable. It's also interesting to see him mature slightly. Thank goodness its only slightly though, or what would be the point?
