Summary: Not Harry Potter but still good
Review: I don't understand people trashing this book. It's really good. I picked it up and I couldn't put it down. True, it isn't Harry Potter; that doesn't mean it isn't any good. I really liked it. For older children, young adults, and anyone who like fantasy or action, this is a great read. Like Harry Potter, the story follows a young boy and as each book progresses, Artemis turns another year older.

Summary: Genius leads to gold
Review: Artemis Fowl, a young prodigy from Ireland, arrives in Ho Chi Minh City to meet a man who can lead him to a fairy. This start of the story leads to an excellent adventure full of plot intrigues and mystery. The young Fowl is alone in the world after his father disappears and his mother loses her mind, except for his bodyguard, Butler. Together, the two set up and execute a brilliant heist to separate the LEPrecon - an elite force of fairy commandos, much like the green berets - from their fairy gold. As the plot develops, questions are answered, but much is left unsolved, up until the very end. A blend of childhood fantasies about the fairy people, modern and even futuristic technology, and, of course, brilliancy in action, 'Artemis Fowl' is sure to be a good read for persons of all ages.

Summary: A great ride
Review: My parents picked up this book for me last year while they were in England because they knew I enjoyed the Harry Potter series. I was pretty skeptical that this book would be as good as Harry and I was right. However, "Artemis Fowl" is an entertaining adventure that I never wanted to end. The writing isn't what I consider to be exceptional, but Eoin Colfer has written an incredibly entertaining book that is sure to please children and even adults like myself.

Summary: My kids love it, I have reservations
Review: I picked up this book for my kids without realizing it was a current "hot" book. It seems to go over well with children in the 9 through 12 age range (and perhaps older) but as a parent I had 2 concerns with it.1) There are many descriptions that detail and perhaps glorify weapons of various kinds as well as related paraphenelia, from rocket-propelled grenades to various kinds of hand guns. 2) In many places I found the writing clumsy or awkward. It just did not appear to me as an example of good writing in any sense, and I have not had this level of distaste for the writing of a childrens book before.

Summary: Artemis Fowl
Review: This book is crass. What else can I say? I only gave it one star for that reason. Reviews should warn, too. And I'm just a teen, not an adult.

Summary: Brilliant book to buy
Review: ¡°Don¡¯t judge a book by it¡¯s cover¡± people say, but I believe in another theory, that the more eye catching the cover is, the better the book is, it seems to me that this shows the publishers are confident this is a book to spend money on the design of the cover, and what¡¯s more eye catching than masses of glitter dazzling before you.
Artemis Fowl is a twelve year old human boy, he has a missing father and a delusional mother, and he has devised a plan to restore his family¡¯s fortunes. His plan involves kidnapping a magical creature and holding it for ransom, in other words, the gold at the end of the rainbow. What he gets is Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit, although she¡¯s not armed, she is still dangerous.
Artemis can be described as the sort of boy who makes a good character to read about but perhaps not the best person to know.
Filled with witty conversations, this book is a joy to read.
And so the last comment I¡¯m going to say is: This is the sort of book that makes you read it in one sitting and then regret that you¡¯d finished it so fast.
