Book Report - "The Fowl Twins Deny All Charges" by Eoin Colfer
The “Artemis Fowl” series is one of my favorite book intellectual properties, and I was devastated to have that come to an end with “The Last Guardian.” However, author Eoin Colfer continued writing about that fictional universe with spin-off series “The Fowl Twins.” There are now two books available in that series, with a third scheduled for release this month entitled “The Fowl Twins Get What They Deserve.” To quote The Dark Knight, “you either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” I hate to pre-emptively apply that concept to this book series, but I have a hard time saying that the spin-off lives up to the reputation of the original.
