Artemis Fowl

Summary: Artemis is book fit for god
Review: If Artemis Fowl is "die hard with fairies," than Holly Short has to be Burce Willis. The book is packed with hysterical lines and quotes that will change the way you look on all other fairy tales.

The books tells the hysterical story of criminal mastermind, Artemis fowl, his sidekick or martial arts master, Butler, rebelious "police" officer, Holly Short, paranoid centuar, Faoly and commander root. The basic plot is Holly is kidnapped by artemis who plots to get a ransom from the others fairies. only until its to late does Artemis relize that hes bitten off morte than he can handle.

The main reason I love this book is the fact that the "bad guy" wins. you never see that in stories anymore, until now. this is most definatly a land mark novel, sort of like Gone with the wind, prioncess bride and Ivanhoe.

Summary: Extremely good book and very original depiction of magic
Review: Almost everyone has read a book involving magic and faeries, but there have been none that have taken Eoin Colfer's approach. I picked this book up after a friend said it was fantastic. I was a little skeptical and thought it may be just another remake of fairy stories. This book is not that at all. In fact, this book is incredibly original and introduces a non steriotypical fairy race. Anyone in search of a good book should look no further than Artemis Fowl.

Summary: Disappointment galore!
Review: What a disappointment. People say if you like Harry Potter you'll like Artemis Fowl. Not a chance. I regret buying and reading it. I wouldn't even recommend checking it out from the library. The characters are all shallow and flat. The story wasn't even amusing...

Summary: Big disappointment
Review: After all of the great reviews, I was very excited about reading Artemis Fowl. However, it proved very disapointing. I might have enjoyed this a little more when I was for. It is a very young book and I do not reccomend it. I was also disappointed that the main charactor is a comeplete jerk. He is a jerk. The whole book you wait for the spoiled brat to become good but he never does.

Summary: Just a book
Review: When you start this book is an excellent book, but when it stars with fairy tales, you have two options, you leave the book or you read it with other mind, with a childish mind, if you do the second point as I did you will enjoy reading this book, that's for sure, the book will not give anything but a good time while you read, but is not what anybody want while reading a book?

Summary: Spazzer's Comments
Review: Thank God I did not but this book, but checked it at the library. I wouldn't say it's complete utter crap but I don't understand why people like it so much.

First of all, I would like to point out that his feelings are mainly stereotypical. I can't imagine anyone feeling THAT way when intelligent, with a guard, and finding fairies. He should have some respect for his parents.

Anyway, this book would mainly appeal to the younger audience. Don't buy the book, just check it out first, cuz you might regret it later.

Summary: Artemis Fowl a review by Valery
Review: If you liked the Harry Potter books, you will to read like this book. In the book, Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer, the protagonist, a 12 year-old boy who is trying to get his family fortune back. He has found a magic book that he needs to translate. Every one in his family had tried to translate it...he was the first. Artemis needed the book to create a whole new group of creatures for which he can get the gold.
One of my favorite excerpts from the book is when Artemis finds a person who looks like a waiter; he defines what is wrong about the waiter, and makes him give Artemis his real identity. I like that excerpt because it shows that Artemis can figure out whether someone is what he or she say they are..
Another one of my favorite excerpts is when Artemis makes a copy of the magic book. He goes home to translate the book on the computer...and succeeds. I liked this excerpt because everybody in his family tried to find the book and translate it and none of them did except Artemis.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages, I strongly encourage you to read Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer. And again, if you liked the Harry Potter books (at least one of them) then you will definitely like this one!

Summary: Great book!
Review: It was a good book. I couldn't put it down! I thought it was a really good book. It was very intersting since the main chacter was a good guy, instead of a bad guy. They also had fairies. It was excellent.
