Summary: artemus fowl
Review: This is definately not loveable Harry Potter. He is the anti-Harry. Lots of weapons and resources including Butler. He is violent and crafty. May be a little too scary for younger readers. Parents may be offended by Artemus' arsennal which would make James Bond fans envious.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Much Hype-Nothing to Write Home About
Review: For some reason the publisher of this book is somehow attempting to connect it with Harry Potter. There is no connection. A not very interesting thief takes on magic realms that for some reason do not rely on magic but modern technology. That premise alone deflates any magical element of the story and merely gives us elf commandos with guns. Pass it by.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Artimus Fowl is awsome
Review: I love this book its one of my favorites it has plenty of twist in the story.I would put this right up there with Harry Potter which is also one of my favorite book series not to minchin the hobit book series.anyways the reason I gave this book only 4 stars was because the faries keep downing humans,but I would buy a sequil of Artimus Fowl

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Get ready for a real adventure.....
Review: Artemis Fowl is a very nice book. While combining the realism of true devious crime, and the fantasy of fairies, trolls, and other such creatures, it is sure to keep you glued to the pages. I did find this book to be a little too easy to read, only because I read it in one night.

The reason for giving this book 4 stars instead of five, would be the ease in the reading, and the lack of dialogue for the setting. These setting is in Ireland, yet the people speak plain english, with no apparent accent.

Overall though, a wonderful book, i will be looking forward to future books from this author!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great, but confusing at the begining...
Review: i thought that this book was really great, and i read a lot of books like this so i have a lot to compare it too. it is a great idea i don't see how people come up with such great ideas for books. i read in some of the other reviews that some people are copmaring Artemis Fowl to Harry Potter books, well i have read harry potter books (and loved them) but they are completly differant to Artemis Fowl. the only thing i want to know about this book is wheather there are other books in a series after it (or maybe before)? the only thing was that at the begining i found it too bea bit comfusing but when i got into it it was great and u just have to get used to all the differant, but clever, ideas. a great read and recomended to everyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: HELLO! this is not harry
Review: I loved this book it is great. but i would like to tell the people who found it disapointing is becasue the book reveiw compaired it to harry potter. well i am here to say they ment magicly. you know as well as i do that no 2 books are the same so why did u buy the book expecting to read harry potter over again. You know very well that if it was like HP you would have said that the author copied JK Rowling and the book should not have been puplished! you would have also said that the author needs to have his own ideas, i am writting becasue he does. He wrote a great book and i am apalled that you would put it down becasue its not what you expected. take it for the book it is, in a shelf by itself.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a story inside a story
Review: This is a great book!! if you like to read i highly recomend this book for you. At the bottom of each page is another story! all you have to do is crack the code and there is your story! I love to read soo much and this book is one of the best books i have read. I also recomend "speak" and "the last book in the universe" they are really great books! give them a chance!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Worth it
Review: I don't see why everyone has to mention how this book is or isn't like/better than the Harry Poter books. The stories are nothing alike. I didn't once think "oh Harry Potter is so much better than this" or anything else to the like. Read this book based on what it is. Not every book is going to be Harry Potter, and thank God for that 'cause that would get pretty stale.

As for this book, I thought it was worth reading. There were lots of errors and awkward phrasing, which could and should have been fixed. The editors I'm sure rushed the job in order to get it out for summer. But if you look at the actual story it's not something that's been done a lot, at least not in quite this way. It was much more technical that magical, only a few bits of magic were even used. The main character, Artemis Fowl, was a nasty little brat that could have used more development, but I've seen worse.

I think that this is a good read for someone looking for something to just enjoy. It won't blow you away, but it won't waste your time either. Some parts tend to drag on a bit, but at least the whole book isn't one giant snooze like the "Series of Unfortunate Events" books. So give this one a chance, you just might like it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This book was great I am not a big fan of reading but this book I really could not put it down it was the best book I have ever read and if you like this book I would highly recomend the book "A Wrinkle In Time" by Madeline L'Engle. If I loved it I am sure you will too.This book had everything mystery fantasy science fiction and a little bit of horror. If you like any kind of books you will love this it will be a story that you will keep in your heart and head forever.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: very interesting
Review: Ey, this book was very well writen and I would suggest it to every one. This book is not like HP(Harry Potter), it has alot more action then HP. This book is more up to-date in technology terms. The People in this book are not in to alot of magic like HP but more techno. Im not saying that I dont like HP, really I like them them equal, but this story could totaly be real in the word with out any oneknowing......except Artemis.
