	BookPage Interview April 2006: Eoin Colfer
		Colfer's basis for the new detective novel seems to be a combination of childhood adoration for the Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators series and the adventures he shared with his five brothers.
		Although Colfer's books are for readers 10 and up, his inspiration comes from a younger audience—his two sons Sean and Finn, 3 and 8, respectively.
		In addition to Colfer's own writings, a comic book series featuring Artemis Fowl will be hitting bookstores in early 2007 and filming for a movie on the same subject is expected to begin later this year.

	Eoin Colfer: An Exclusive Interview
		Eoin Colfer spoke with the interviewer from New York City where the author was in the early phases of his North American tour to promote his third Artemis Fowl adventure, The Eternity Code.
		Colfer: That’s part of the same theory, I suppose, in that when I was 12 I was well able to read Stephen King, for instance.
		Colfer: When I wrote it, I was teaching 12-year-olds and I was really trying to hook the boys because it is very hard to get boys to read, in my experience.

		What Eoin Colfer did not know at the time was that he was about to strike gold himself.
		She is wrong, of course, and Colfer was right to sense that he was onto something 'pretty original'.
		Colfer is clear about the moral content: 'It is a classical story in which a boy becomes a young man and learns that avarice is not as important as family.' Artemis prefers it not to be known that he loves his mother.

		Eoin Colfer does some fantasticly creative things to the traditional legends.
		Colfer's wildly imaginative mix of magic and technology is wonderfully silly and I found myself giggling several times at his witty inventiveness.
		The intrigue and maneuverings are excellently done, with the advantage in the battle switching frequently and unexpectedly between Artemis and his Fey opponents.

		Colfer invested that imagination in "Artemis Fowl." Unlike most adult fiction, which is limited by bothersome things like physics and gravity, Artemis Fowl allowed Colfer to play.
		Still, Colfer made sure to impose several consistent "fairy rules." For example, no fairy is allowed to leave or enter a human home without permission.
		Colfer wanted a name unique enough to have its own personality, citing Hannibal Lecter and Sherlock Holmes as models.

	Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer
		From a palatial estate built using generations of ill-gotten gains, the 12-year-old Irish lad and his bodyguard/mentor Butler (a mountain of a man, trained in nearly any conceivable type of weaponry or combat) plot high-risk, high-stakes capers that take them all over the world.
		The juggernaut in this regard is, of course, J.K. Rowling, but operating comfortably in her considerable literary shadow is Eoin Colfer, whose Artemis Fowl novels (four and counting) have been well-received by critics and attracted a steadily growing legion of fans.
		In addition, it seems fairly obvious that Colfer is also aiming at an adult audience interested in an exciting tale and a hearty laugh.

		This fourth outing for Eoin Colfer’s teenage criminal mastermind, Artemis Fowl, is--as ever--full of dramatic action, explosions, treachery, high speed chases, windy escapes from Trolls and a generous helping of fairy magic.
		Half of the pleasure of the Harry Potter novels is to be had by simply enjoying how the familiar characters interact--savouring their established foibles and characteristics and revelling in all the new things they get up to.
