Didn’t like it ! It was so not for me . Too childish ,maybe I’m the wrong audience for sure . But I love the cover

"Unfortunately for him, Beckett Fowl specialized in the preposterous, had a degree in ridiculous, and was a doctor of the unbelievable." Eoin Colfer, The Fowl Twins: Deny All Charges.

This second book in the Fowl Twins series was so much fun! These books are sillier in many ways than the original Artemis Fowl series, but I think that's a good thing as it keeps them distinct and doesn't draw too many undue comparisons.

The relationship between our twins, Myles and Beckett, is the highlight of the series. Their bond is beautiful. They are very, very different, but both brilliant in their own way and these differences compliment each other really well.

There is, of course, plenty of magic, life or death situations, explosions, kidnappings, and the usual Fowl shenanigans. If you're looking for a fun, well crafted, quick read, this is a story for you. Great middlegrade fun.

Highly entertaining, action packed, emotionally thrilling roller-coaster adventure filled with intriguing charters, witty banter, laugh out loud moments and heart racing dangerous mystery. Excellent reading adventure!

Years ago, I was introduced to the Artemis Fowl series.
We borrowed the first book in audiobook format and listened while driving to visit family.
My boys and husband thoroughly enjoyed it.
And we started reading the other books as they came out.

After a short hiatus in the Fowl-sphere, Eoin Colfer took to writing about the Fowl twins.
Myles, a brainiac who hates the physical, and Beckett, the twin who is all about doing and not so much on the thinking.

This is the second book in their series and it is packed with all the craziness one has come to expect from the author. The villain from the 1st book is back, although he is more in the background as he found an angry dwarf to do his bidding of destroying the Fowl twins.

Loads of adventure, some more fairy lore to incorporate, and a few harrowing situations to provide suspense. All in all, a great blend for kids and adults alike.

This is the second installment of The Fowl Twins, and I felt like it lacked a bit of the magic the first one had. I really enjoy the character of Beckett and his friendship with Whistleblower and I wish there was a bit more of them and a bit less of Myles. Myles appears to have all of the most annoying traits that Artemis had, and I hope he comes back in future books. The plot didn't really keep my attention, I felt like every time I put the book down I had to read back and figure out what was going on again since it was all over the place. Overall it was good, just not my favorite of the Fowl novels.

Eoin Colfer is a master storyteller. I love everything he writes. I wasn’t sure if Artemis’s magic could trickle into Myles and Beckett, but I believe it has. Wonderful series.

Thanks to NetGalley for allowing me to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

Review- The Fowl Twins 2 Deny All Charges.
-
This story was quintessential Eoin Colfer. Everything you’ve come to love about the Fowl adventures. Witty brainy Myles and the wonderful Beckett. I could read a new story of them every year forever honestly. I don’t think I’ll ever get over how the author just transports you to the scene and keeps you there, never letting go for an instant. 4/5!

Thanks for stopping by for a review!

The villain from the last Fowl Twins book is not as defeated as Myles, Beckett, and Lazuli thought. He makes a copy of Myles for a group of dwarves seeking to reclaim lost gold. The dwarves kidnap Myles which leads to Beckett and Lazuli going after him with many hilarious and almost deadly incidents occurring throughout.

Deny All Charges by Eoin Colfer is part of the ongoing Artemis Fowl world, featuring his younger brothers: Becket and Myles, who are cut form the same cloth as Arty, full of adventure. They have pushed their father too far this time and he believes he has delivered corrective action with not loopholes. Through not fault of their won, they are kidnapped, separately, and thereby put, not only themselves but also their parents, in jeopardy.

This entire series is creative, pure and simple. It includes adventure, the fairy world, technology, and compelling drama. It is the ideal middle school read for these reasons as well as the fact the grammar is excellent and the vocabulary challenging, providing an excellent example for this age group. The stories are built for children with imagination to take it all to the next level, there being just enough description to make it entertaining but leaving enough for a fertile imagination to create a world for him/herself. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It is rife with bad guys of the highest order and enough adventure to keep a curious middle schooler busy for a while.

Fowls Always do the Unexpected
The Twins are back, and Eoin Colfer takes them on another chaotic adventure. It is not wise to anger dwarves, or the Fowl parents. Grounded after a fateful jet accident, Myles and Beckett are forced to forgo any of their normal deviances, and any contact with the fairy world. Except the fairy world has not forgotten about the Fowls. When Myles is kidnapped without his usual tech defenses, Beckett with the help of Lazuli impulsively run to Myles rescue. Together, the brothers have another fairy conflict to solve. Myles and Beckett are two very dissimilar characters, and these differences provide a fun counterpoint between book and active learning. Eoin Colfer does not underestimate the intelligence of his readers, as he in not afraid to use a variety of vocabulary and scientific concepts. With plenty of age appropriate kid jokes, and bathroom humor provided by Beckett. The brothers enthusiastically explore how to work together, complementing each other’s strengths and weaknesses. While also encouraging and understanding their particularities. With the added bonus of a clever plot! Also, there are many references to Artemis from the perspective of the Fowl family. This is an exciting and unexpected addition to the LEP files.

The latest installment of the Fowl Twins is just as great as the first and maybe even better. Colfer writes with humor and such creativity just boggles my mind on how he comes up with this stuff. I love the bond between Myles and Beckett and how much it plays into the story. We get to learn more about LEP agent Lazuli and see how she gets stuck in the newest and crazy Fowl adventure. I can't wait to read the next book. .

I was provided with an electronic ARC through NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Eoin Colfer has consistently been one of the few authors who can write for children but spark the joy of adults as well. With this new Fowl Twins series we get all the hallmarks of Artemis Fowl but with a bit more in the form of creative dynamics between our two twins, Miles and Beckett. The plots are not convoluted and fairly short but you really have to appreciate the humor and writing here. Colfer is really at the top of his game and I had quite a few outloud chuckles throughout the read.

Story: Miles and Beckett are into mischief again, causing their parents to put a fast hold on the adventures. The parents already lost one son (who fortunately came back) and therefore are doubly careful with the twins. But a personal vendetta against Miles by a murderous Dwarven clan will cause the boys to forsake their promise to their parents and once again team up with Agent Lazuli of the LEP force.

What I really like about the Fowl series is that our hero(s) is never black and white; e.g., Miles (like his annoying big brother Artemis) pretty much wants to take over the world but ends up saving it instead accidentally. It's this type of humor that is very tricky to write but very fun to read. Colfer is clearly having as much fun with the twins as he did Artemis (a favorite line in the beginning of the book: "In fact, the Fowl twin kept a tally of his victories, and by his reckoning he had to date incapacitated twenty-seven special forces officers, eleven burglars, a small carful of clowns, six drunken Dublin men, five bullies whom he caught picking on smaller children, three big-game poachers, and, in a display of cosmic humor, an intrusive journalist named Partridge who had concealed himself in a pear tree").

With book two, we get much more of the Fowl parents, which was a nice change. As well, expect cameos again from LEPers such as Holly Short. But for the most part, this is a book about Miles, Beckett, and Lazuli. We get each of their perspectives in a fun way through shifting time periods an moments. It leaves you guessing quite a bit which made the book all that more interesting.

I greatly enjoyed the Fowl Twins and feel that Colfer writing has never been better - this new series, now with book 2, is every bit as good as the original Artemis Fowl series. Reviewed from an advance reader copy provided by the publisher.

I received an ARC of this title from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own and were not affected by the free copy.

I absolutely LOVED Artemis Fowl. I grew up reading them, and I still reread them every year. Luckily, the Fowl Twins did not let me down. I don't love them as much, but they are still a wild ride. Myles and Beckett are Artemis's little brothers. And they are a handful! Myles is a genius who believes he is smarter than his brother and hates Einstein, and Beckett is a savant of his own sort-he is instinctively a genius at all things physical, and he can talk to animals to boot! Their LEP handler is a pixel named Lazuli, and in her own way, she is quite gifted. Unable to perform magic, she learned languages the hard way and studied all types of martial arts. Together, they are quite a team. But what happens if one of them goes missing?

Eion's books are always amusing, full of flashbacks, flashforwards, and even flash-sideways, letting us see all characters' points-of-view, and the plans they made where we couldn't hear. Myles is definitely an arrogant jerk, but Beckett is life. He makes us see who his brother truly is, and I absolutely adore him. Myles, I tolerate because he makes Beckett happy. I enjoyed seeing Angeline and Artemis Senior in this book, fulfilling their roles as concerned parents. So much of the original series they spent not part of their son's life or mind-wiped, so this was a wonderful change for them.

I love getting to see small glimpses of Captain-ehem-Commodore Short. She is such a fun character, and I really, REALLY hope we get to see Artemis and Butler sometime in the series. I will definitely be recommending these books out to young and young-at-heart alike.

Two meddling kids and seven deadly dwarfs. What could possible go wrong?

Artemis Fowl the First decides to put an end to his sons’ shenanigans when a reconnaissance mission goes awry. The senior Fowls and LEP come to an agreement: Fowl and fairy friends forever, but allies no more. The boys are grounded, NANNI is retired, and all scheming–otherworldly or otherwise–is put to an end…at least until Myles is kidnapped by a mysterious foe. Now Beckett must plan and Myles must fight to save Fowl and fairy...and a couple thousand humans.

After a rocky start with The Fowl Twins, Eoin Colfer’s hit his stride. Deny All Charges has all of the fun, wit, and adventure that made the the original Artemis Fowl series such a hit. There are old friends, new foes, and of course, those precocious Fowl twins. Colfer is in fine form–the plot is tight, the characters endearing, and the humor on point. Who says children’s books can’t be sophisticated?

Colfer’s voice is seriously one of my favorites. I have a fondness for clever things, and the way this man writes is just so smart. He’s a wordsmith with a sharp wit, and his writing style is so distinct. You get the sense that the whole story is delivered with a nod and a wink, and it's just so fun! There are different layers to his writing, and his jokes range from weird to witty, so there’s a little something for everyone to enjoy. (Chapter 1 is literally called Why Artemis is an Idiot, and if that doesn’t get you to read this book, I don’t know what will.)

I was a little apprehensive when I first saw the synopsis. The Fowl Twin dynamic was one of the only redeeming parts from the first book, so I wasn’t sure how a story whose plot centered on Myles' kidnapping would work. I was pleasantly surprised by the scenes with each individual twin. Don’t get me wrong, the times when they’re both on the page are great, but the situations when the boys are missing their other half, force them to face their weaknesses and have their own brand of magic. Watching Beckett use his brain and Myles embrace his brawn (well, kinda) are such great moments of character development.

There’s nothing like the original, but after reading this book, Myles and Beckett are now major contenders for my favorite Fowl children. Artemis is the best, but he can be a little too brainy at times. (It’s why we love him, but still.) As much as I love Butler and hope he and/or Juliet make a cameo in the series at some point, he’s mostly there to act as the muscle. Beckett brings the brawn and the whimsy. He’s so effusive and enthusiastic, he's the perfect compliment to Myles’ erudite, enigmatic personality. He’s the little boy that Myles and Artemis never were, and his childlike wonder infuses new life into what could otherwise be just another Insufferable Genius story.

Beyond the funny jokes, fairies, and fighting, Deny All Changes is ultimately a story about family. The book is dedicated “to twins everywhere,” so Myles and Beckett’s relationship obviously gets a lot of attention. The unique bond the two share and the loyalty it begets is central to the story. (It’s especially endearing to see displays of affection from the usually stoic Myles.) But the senior Fowls get their time to shine as well. After being relatively absent during their oldest son’s adventures, they've decided to start taking their parental duties more seriously. There’s a surprising moment of vulnerability when we realize the toll Artemis and the Last Gordian took on them, but there’s also a lot of fun. Angeline has a great mama bear moment, and we get a glimpse of what Artemis Fowl the First, criminal mastermind, was like in his heyday. I can’t wait to see more of them in subsequent books. (Maybe we’ll even get a Fowl Family Adventure? One can only hope…)

Deny All Charges is a book that can be enjoyed by readers of all ages. Colfer’s humor is layered so that there’s enough action to keep young kids engaged (and a few fart jokes thrown in for good measure) and enough tongue in cheek references to keep older readers entertained as well.

This is Eoin Colfer at his finest, and you won’t want to miss a moment.

It's a charming installment in the ongoing story of two twins. One is erudite and as condescending as his older brother Artemis. The other is instinctively lovable by pretty much everyone. I love the fart jokes in this book. Overall, it was an enjoyable foray into Ireland. As always, we have Lord Teddy to contend with. I loved the gold-centered heist in this book.

I must admit that I have not read book 1 in this new Fowl series, & I do try never to jump into a series in the midst of things. That being said, I do feel like the prologue did a pretty good recap/setup of, I imagine, most of what a reader would need to know.

Moving beyond that, my initial impressions of this book are that the language seems a bit above the target range of 9-11 year old kids. Something about the overly wordy nature of the text makes this book read sluggishly. My reluctant readers, in particular, may be drawn to the plot and the cover, but I doubt they will make it to far into the story.

Ultimately, this book is just not my style, but I do get the appeal.

For the most part it was a good book. It flows smoothly from book one to book two and stays true to the original series. It has an intriguing plot and mystery while also having enough comedy not to be too heavy. My biggest issue is with how far the author goes to push green energy, which in small portions would be fine, but in the quantities he has added it, it begins to take away from the plot.. Beyond that, it has good characters, a good plot, and is a good read.

this was a lot of fun to read, I really liked the Fowl Twins and understood the world from the Artemis Fowl series. The plot was great and I wanted to read more of their adventures.

If you don’t know who Eoin Colfer is, you must be living under a rock. Colfer first introduced us to Artemis Fowl Jr., and now we get to go on adventures with his little brothers. “The People” might have thought that their interactions with the Fowl family were over after Holly Short and Artemis, but they are far from it. 10/10 would recommend this book for any middle-grade readers and above.

The Fowl Twins are up to all sorts of new mischief in Deny All Charges, and their “pixel” best friend Lazuli is along for the ride. This book includes the same adventure, storytelling, and magic that Colfer is known for. It also features dwarves, gold, near-death experiences, and setups. It was really nice to see the Fowl parents (Artemis Sr. and Angeline) in more of an active role than the first series.

While there are some similarities in the interactions between Artemis and Holly, and the twins and Lazuli, they are unique enough that it makes this book a fresh and unique read instead of feeling like a re-hash of the plotline of the Artemis Fowl books with a new set of characters.

Thank you to Net Galley and Disney Publishing Worldwide for allowing me a chance to read an e-ARC of this book. I appreciate the opportunity!

Thank you so much, Disney Publishing Worldwide and Disney-Hyperion, for the chance to read this book!

Myles, Beckett and Lazuli are back for a new adventure! When the family jet is tracked and they almost lose their lives in the process when it exploded, the Fowl twins are grounded and their connection to the fairy world stopped. But what really happened to the jet? Who tracked and why? When Myles is kidnapped, Beckett and Lazuli are forced to deal with the situations, without the family genius.

I loved reading the second book of the Fowl Twins! As always, the author's writing style is amazing and so funny, full of jokes, references, flashforwards, explanations, introducing old and new characters and old and new enemies, while the trio is forced to deal with dwarves, gold, plans and almost deaths. It was refreshing and funny reading this book and it's perfect for those who love adventures, jokes, crazy situations and unbelievable plans.
