This article seems to be missing a lot of information. There is a long biography on www.eoincolfer.com that I think should be looked into. I'll add some but I would appreciate help from others too.

Shouldn't this article have another category attached to it? After all Colfer is a writer. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 12:49, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestions

I think that there is way too much information on the Fowl series. I think this should be more of a bibliography then a review of Colfer's books. Even if it will look too minimalist with the book plot, etc. removed, but that can go into Artemis Fowl. What do you think?

[edit] Restructure

I moved the ideas and criticism behind Colfer's novels to the Works section; maybe I am wrong to do so, I don't know. Also, I think there should be minimal description of specific books (such as the Artemis series) on this bio page. That should be moved to Artemis Fowl. What do you think? User:Valerij

[edit] Drastic Change

The Artemis series description,

"The main character, Artemis, from the Artemis Fowl series is a child prodigy and heir to a fortune gained largely through crime. At the onset of the series, his father (having unsuccessfully tried to go straight) is missing and his mother, distraught, is bedridden and suffers from nightmares and delirium. Artemis, naturally, does the responsible thing and formulates a fiendish scheme to boost the family fortunes (somewhat lessened in the elder Fowl's aforementioned ill-fated move towards legitimacy). Fowl Jr., along with his manservant and spookily-efficient bodyguard Butler set out to kidnap a fairy. The Fairies of myth and legend, who call themselves "The People" (Artemis deduces from some web-surfing) have been in hiding deep underground since the beginning of recorded history to stay out of mankind (the Mud Men)'s wars and environmental disasters. Not that Fowl would be interested but for the legends of gold at the end of rainbows. What Artemis finds, though, is that while fairies were out of sight they have largely replaced magic with advanced technology."

It bothers me very much :) - I believe this should be in the Artemis Fowl, not in the author's bio. If people don't like my edit, you can always change it back ;)

[edit] Report

doing report on him and there is no info...

[edit] Half Moon Investigations

Why, on the respective page for this book, is the release date listed as June 2006? I'm holding it in my hand right now. I posted this there, but I highly doubt anyone would respond there. --Thrashmeister 00:38, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

HMI is scheduled to be released in UK in June hence i assumed it would be same for rest of the world. अमेय आर्यन DaBroodey 00:58, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
