Summary: A magical book
Review: I decided to read Artemis Fowl only because there was no new Harry Potter book coming soon. When I started to read I realized that I was going to love the book. It is magical and fun. I already read the first two and just today I got the third. I already started reading it and I can assure you that it is going to be great.

Summary: Killer!!
Review: Let me tell you, this is one of the wittiest and most captivating books I have ever read. Anyone saying otherwise is either delusional or didn't actually read the book. You can't even compare it to Harry Potter. It's like comparing apples and oranges.As a reader full-fledged adult fantasy, I can say that I wasn't expecting much. I was in for the surprise of my life. You can basically gather the premise of the book from other reviews, but I have one detail I would like to add to the sizable list of positives: realism. None of the other young adult fantasies I've read have even had remotely as many diverse characters as in this book. From Foaly, the paranoid centaur, to Mulch Diggums, a kleptomaniac dwarf, all of the characters have a trait that makes them unique, like Juliet's love of wrestling. All other fantasies for teens insinuate that bad people are the enemy. Every main character is a dogooder, or a troublemaker who is a dogooder at heart. However, this book shows that "bad people" aren't necessarily bad, Artimus Fowl himself shows signs of morals and human emotions later on in the book. So... READ IT!

Summary: Fairy Fantastic
Review: Did you ever wonder what fairies were like? Well if you read Eoin Colfers Artemis Fowl you might get an idea. This book has fairies that fly around on jet wings and have triple barrel guns. Also a human kidnaps one of the fairies. How will the fairies get their friend back? Find out by reading this book. I liked this book because it has a lot of creativity and funny situations. Out of four stars I would give this book 4 stars. I think that the author's purpose of writing this book was to tell what he thought about fairies.

Summary: Artimis Fowl? Have you heard the name?
Review: This book is one of the best things you can do to please yourself and others. It is a great hit at middle schools and other grades. All ages have read this book and are pleased with it but not as much as I. lIke most of you I have become a fan of the Harry Potter books and is waiting the arrival of the next book. I needed a book similar in style so I took a leaf out of a friends book and opened this one. I could not belive that I finished it within two days. I wanted to read the rest of Artimis Fowl's books so I went and read all three and none were disapointing.

Summary: The book's tagline is right: "Stay back, human."
Review: I was attracted by the amount of publicity given to Artemis Fowl's books. I gave in, and, interested as I am in children's literature, I bought the first one. I was strongly dissapointed to find out such a weak story, with forgettable and trivial characters, and the tiresome and unconvincing blend of technology and so-called magic. Even more dissapointed I was when I realized that Artemis Fowl himself gets less story time than many "supporting" characters (believe me, I almost counted the pages he appears in), thus making him the less developed character among the main ones. The use of witty and catchy phrases by many characters makes a lame impact, and unwillingly diludes the idea that Artemis is the genius in the book. I am hesitant about buying the second book, really. Besides the unnecesary use of useless characters, worn-out phrases, and artificialy-exposed situations, the quality and the narrative of the book DOES NOT compare at all with works by authors related to children's literature such as Eva Ibbotson, Lemony Snicket (Daniel Handler), C. S. Lewis, Phillip Pullman, or yes... J. K. Rowling, just to name a few. I had the constant feeling that this book was written by demand, I mean, as a job, not as a work of inspiration (almost as if it were written to compete with other children books, just to hit on the pocket of book readers). Yes, it does have "some" (if little) of the folklore of the Irish lands (the author was born in Ireland), but it's twisted view of those mythical places does not render or really made me see or imagine an alternate universe under our human noses. If I can be of some help, trust me, this is not a wise pick, but then again, one must read of everything. Hopefully, someone else will have the same view as I am, and reconsider his or her thoughts about surrendering to such a poor written book. "Stay back, human. You don't know what you're dealing with." This is the tagline of the book. It was also probably ment for Eoin (pronounced "Owen") Colfer's kind of writing, as someone in merchandising realized his lack of hability with words, demonstrated in this piece.

Summary: Brilliant!
Review: I was told over and over again by my friends and teachers to read this book. I nearly couldn't go a day without hearing its title. So, finally, I picked up the book and read it. I read it in two days. I simply couldn't put it down. It's one of my favorite books. Eoin Colfer created a wonderful world with a unique twist on folklore in this books. It's not every day you read about fairies with guns and power wings. Now I find myself constantly recommending it to people everyday.

Summary: "A Dazzaling Thrill"
Review: "I think that Artemis Fowl was a wonderful book. This book was the kind of book that you can't put down. I think that Artemis fowl should win the Newberry award. I also think that the author's writing is brilliant. How he uses this world of human's and a world of fairies and there lives collide. Artemis is a brilliant kid that also is a crimminal mastermind. I love how Eoin Colffer writes".

Summary: A Fairy Tale to Rival Harry Potter
Review: I was told that I just had to read this book by so many people I thought I might scream if I heard the name again. Then I was totally dumbstruck when it turned out to live up to its name. The librarians at my school had to order !#50#! extra copies to sell at the book sale! This tale of big money, a fight for woman/farie's rights, and a young masterminds lust for crime. Sound melodramatic? Maybe just a little bit, but still a great read. A overall plot is Artemis wants to get some fairy gold so he uses his wits to get ahold of their "book" so he can capture and trick some cash out of one. He didn't count on Captain Holly Short though. Or Commander Root. Oh well. To bad for him. This is a wonderful, fast paced fairy tale with all the right characters and plots in a world that parallels our own. Its like Harry Potter with a with a little real world thrown in.Watch out Potter! Artemis is coming through!

Summary: A SIMPLY MUST READ!!!
Review: Artemis Fowl is a 12 year old boy who seeks power and wants to get back his family fortune. With the help of his huge muscled butler named butler he tries to capture the fairy magic. This book kept my attention to the very end. I thought it shows that children have the power to achieve anything if they set their mind to it. After i read this i read the next book which was just as good. I reccomend this book completly 100%!!!
