Summary: Artemis Fowl -- A great book
Review: I read this book because I picked it up at a school book fair. The book seemed to start out slow, but it picked up the pace very quickly. This book features Artemis Fowl, a twelve-year-old criminal mastermind, as he tries to pull off the perfect crime. The only difference between Artemis Fowl and any other organized crime book is that Artemis Fowl has a secret underground fairy race. ...
I recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy, but I think this book is made for kids ages 10-14

Summary: Twelve-year-old Genius
Review: While most twelve-year-old boys are playing video games and reading comic books, Artemis Fowl Jr. is scheming and plotting in ways that only he can. "How does one describe Artemis Fowl?" A genius? Most definitely, but a genius who chooses to use his brilliance to carry on the long criminal history of the Fowl family.With the help of his Body guard, Butler, and Butler's little sister, Artemis plots the most daring and unheard of scheme possible--he plans to get a hold of leprechaun gold. In order to do this, he must learn the secrets of the fairy world, and use it against them. But can even Artemis Fowl's brilliance be any match for the fairies' shield, time-stop, mesmer, and their most dreaded Bio-bomb. With Characters like Holly short of the LEPrecon, Foaly the technologically minded centaur, and Mulch the kleptomaniac dwarf, this story is an interesting combination of the real world, and the fantasy world. Although boys around the age of twelve would be most drawn to it, this book can be enjoyed by a variety of people.

Summary: I've read it twice!!
Review: Artemis Fowl is amazing! No matter what type of book you like, Artemis Fowl has it. There are sprites, dwarfs, and centaurs for fan lovers. Futureistic weapons add tools for science-fiction lovers and there's even a kidnapping for you adventure lovers!
The book is about a twelve year old genius who wants to recapture his family's billion dollar status. To do so, he is willing to commit crimes that will cross two worlds and nearly bring those worlds to an interspecies war! Who knew getting a leprecons gold would be so dificult?
What more could you want in a book? I know I love Eoin Colfer's writing and I know you will too.

Summary: Long time favorite at our house
Review: With my kids this is a long time favorite, only bested by Stanek's The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches. I doubt there are many kids who haven't read this yet, so I'll describe this for parents who may be reading this review. Artemis Fowl is about a boy genius (a criminal genius). His character is supposed to be dark but he's not really. It's more over the top fun than anything else. Other than a bit of farting nothing in hear I wouldn't want my kids to read. Personally I enjoyed it as well.

Summary: AWESOME!
Review: By far and away the best of the Artemis Fowl books! The idea of a kid criminal mastermind that the strongest and smartest of adults fear to meet is implausible but very attractive if you are close to his age :-) And his modern- day faries that he finds, not with a magic spell, but with computers and old- fashioned legwork are believable (believe it or not!). The plot keeps twisting as agents switch sides in a bluffing game full of attacks and counterattackes and sieges between two geniuses with lots of money at their disposal. A strategic gem!

Summary: Gold for goal
Review: Artemis fowl. One 12 year-old boy with an amazing mind. One goal for the future: to steal fairy gold. But not to just become rich. No. He wants his family back. His father has taken off with a large chunk of the family money and his mother has taken to her bed.
Artemis has his own bodyguard who helps him to his success. Although is it success? He figures out the fairy code, he even captures a fairy. But Captain Holly Short is not to be tempered with...
This book is about fairies, codes and magic but not classic fairytale magic - modern techno-magic...
You pick it up...You can't put it down!

Summary: A great book to share
Review: I try to read at least one book a month with my grandson Collin, and of the more than a dozen we have read he has three favorites. The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, King Fortis the Brave and Artemis Fowl. This is a mostly fast-paced book (though we had to slow down at a couple of points and talk about the mythology base)that keeps you reading and, occasionally, off balance. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to spend some quality time with the child or children in their lives.

Summary: Myth, imagination and war strategy evolved to an action hit
Review: I started reading this book aloud to my son but ended reading it myself when he went to sleep.
This book is so easily imagined as an action movie, once cannot help but wonder if that was the author's intention. But no, I am not doing him justice. The book is filled with great imagination incorporating current and future technologies, war time strategies, great knowledge of human nature and myth and facts of the Ireland history.
A great fun, quick read, creative and absorbing which can be appreicated by readers of all ages.
My favorite character is Holly Short, the first woman in the Leprikon order and a real heroine... I wonder who will play her when this becomes a movie?

Summary: Artemis Fowl
Review: I read some of the reviews and bought the book. Even though I had my doubts, people raved over it so I tried it. What a waste of money! I am an avid reader and rarely throw away a book but I think I will actually burn this one! Artemis Fowl is really a foul book. Who needs a book about a genius criminal 12 year old brat? It is a "dark" book. I for one do not waste my time putting such rubbish in my mind. This is not literature. A teacher used it in the classroom?! So much for our schools! How could anyone have compared this with Harry Potter?
