Summary: Gosh that was a great book!
Review: "Artemis Fowl" was an exciting book with plenty of twist and turns. He makes Harry Potter seem like an innocent little boy. Artemis Fowl is a crimal with style that has no regards for the law and possibly no love for anything but gold and knowledge. He has a special gift for deceiving people, including Butler. He would possibly go to any length for gold. Colfer has given us a very different view of what magic is and what it is not. Colfer has basically stayed with the traditional form of magic. Rowling, however, gives us the Hollywood view of magic. Rowling gives us the "med-evil" sort of magic and has no modern technology. Colfer has combined "med-evil" magic and modern magic. This book was a very good book and I would suggest it to anyone who is interested in any kind of magic or fantasy.

Summary: In Those Hot Little Hands
Review: I am a 5th grade teacher. I have required my students to read Artemis Fowl to get them interested in reading. So far I have had to tell them to put the book away 10-15 times a day to complete their classwork. The kids just love this book. I have started a book club at Doswell E. Brooks Elementary School. I just WISH that they would do a lesson plan with higher order questions for the children to use in class. The same way they have done for the Harry Potter boks.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: One of the most annoying things in the world is that when two different books with a parallel line or two come out, someone will give the second author the label of "copycat". Very irritating. Harry Potter aside, this is an excellent book. Very good plot line, memorable characters, and a villain that the reader can't decide whether to sympathize with or despise. I recommend this one to any reader with a love of fantasy!

Summary: Good book but some parents may have to "edit" some words
Review: We start reading chapter books outloud in our home at a young age. This was one book that I did not read outloud to all of our children. It was OK for our 8 and 11 year olds but not for our 6 year old, IMHO. I must say that I really enjoyed it!! I did have to do some spontaneous "editing" of some words used in the book that are No-No's in our home. (like "shut-up", "stupid") It was really easy to substitute more acceptable words of the same meaning. I LOVE that the book had a strong female heroine!! I do think this is a book that I'd suggest borrowing from a friend or buying used if possible. Although a enjoyable read, I don't think it is a necessary addition to a home library.

Summary: Artemis Fowl-the best book!
Review: Eoin Koffler creates a fantasy world of good and bad as 12 year old artemous fowl tries to steal the pot of gold from fairies. little does he know that these fairies have weapons and are ready. It is a good book for ages 9+ all other ages may require adult help with some parts.

Summary: The next children's literary phenomena
Review: Finally, a protagonist/ antagonists who's actually mean-sprited, superficial, genius, and downright bad- excellent! I have gotten fed up with goody-goody characters busy with 'finding themselves and who they are' (aka Harry Potter- i luv him, but he's such a wussy), and this is finally the character i always wanted to read about! Moreover, the novel creates a parallel world like Rowling's but more realistic; there is more resentment to humans, government problems (eg budget) like ours, and use of technology, etc. Colfer better come out with sequalS soon!

Summary: Artemis Fowl - Potter with Flare
Review: "Artemis Fowl" by Eoin Colfer is a great book for fans of Harry Potter who would like to see a bit of hardcore action integrated into the typical fantasy novel.
Set in the current year, Artemis Fowl combines modern technology with that of the hidden world of fantastic creatures to produce an action-packed fantasy novel; a rarity of its kind.
Added to this is the brilliant and unique scheme of characters that Eoin Colfer creates.
Artemis Fowl is a "brilliant criminal mastermind", made even more amazing by the fact that he is twelve years old.
Artemis' sidekick Butler is a hulking combat and weaponary expert, a devoted sevant of Artemis and able to "kill you a hundred different ways without the use of his armoury".
Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit is a feisty fairy with a strong determination to prove herself, yet a certain disregard for rules. Remind you of anyone?
While Captain Short is the heroine of this exciting story, the reader is not able to help being drawn to Artemis Fowl as the 'good guy' of the story.
While the morals and actions of Artemis label him strongly as the 'bad guy', he displays a certain flare (not dissimilar to that of James Bond) that leaves reader hoping everything will work out all right for him.
Eoin Colfer's "Artemis Fowl" is a brilliant creation that combines all the fascinations of 10-16 year-old children to make for an exciting and action-packed read.
