3.0

The Fowl Files includes a short story on how Captain Short became part of LEPrecon and a short story written for World Book Day set in between Book 1 and 2 featuring a jewel heist collaboration between Fowl and the dwarf Diggums. It also features interviews with the principal characters, descriptions of the many different races within The People, technical files on the equipment LEP operatives use to capture and apprehend fugitives and an interview with Eoin Colfer, the writer of the Fowl series. This book is for the completist, the 'I need to read every book, short story, novella, in order kinda reader. Which I am, hence reading the files before continuing on to Book 2.

Echaba de menos leer algo de Artemis Fowl y realmente estas historias cortas han sido geniales, sobretodo ver los movimientos de Artemis de nuevo.

All'ultima pagina mi è scoppiato il cuore di tenerezza, come farò senza Artemis Fowl.

Das Begleitbuch zu der Artemis Fowl Saga. Gelesen gute vierzehn Jahre nachdem ich den ersten Band dieser Serie erhalten und einige Jahre nachdem ich den Abschlussband gelesen habe.

Dieser Zusatzband enthält zwei neue Kurzgeschichte mit je knapp über 50 Seiten. Zum einen wie Holly Short schaffte, die erste weibliche Elfe bei der Aufklärung zu werden ("Blaue Spinnen"). Zum anderen der unveröffentlichte Fall, in dem Artemis Fowl zusammen mit Mulch Diggums einen Diebstahl plant ("Der siebte Zwerg"). Dazu gab es einen kleinen Artenführer der verschiedenen Arten der Unterirdischen (ca. acht Seiten), 19 Seiten mit Kurzinterviews mit den Hauptcharakteren, einen Einblick in das Schulzeugnis des kriminellen Meistergenies, einen Test zur Bestimmung, ob man unterirdische Vorfahren hat und sechs Seiten mit Zeichnungen zu viel genannten Erfindungen und Ausrüstungsgegenstände der ZUP. Abgerundet wird es mit einem Kreuzworträtsel, einem Wörtersuchspiel, einer Auflistunge des gnomischen Alphabets und einem uralten Rat, an dem man das entziffern üben kann.

Auch wenn dieses Buch nur gute 170 Seiten enthält und schnell gelesen ist, erwecken vor allem die zwei Zusatzgeschichten nostalgische Gefühle und viele Erinnerungen an die Serie und macht Lust noch einmal die Geschichte komplett zu erleben.

Two short stories. One is before the first book and the second one is after the first book. Neither takes away from reading the first. Artemis is a criminal mastermind, genius, science geek, rich, and only 12 years old. He is the anti-Harry Potter. Somehow I feel though he's not all that bad. I've already began reading the first book. As a friend at work and I are both reading these stories. Its fun to read the same book as someone you know. This is a YA/Teen book but it is very much a fun read.

June 20, 2017: I swear I read this at some point because I remember reading the story about Holly Short's training. And I also remember this had the decoder in it, which I spent the rest of the day using to decode all the available messages (I was stuck in a car the whole day). But the thing is I don't remember anything about the story "The Seventh Dwarf." It has Mulch Diggums in it, who I remember from the book series itself but is my memory remembering the books or this short story? I want to say yes but I think every time his character appears in the books I have read, it was to steal something. I don't know about the story but I'm going to go ahead and mark this book as read.

(Update: Having now read "The Seventh Dwarf" I still don't know. I don't remember and at this point it isn't that big of a deal really.)
