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.

Rating: 5 stars
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%!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good read!
Review: This was a very witty foray into fantasy. It did a great job of making things like fairies believable. I especially enjoyed Artemis' strategies. Just when you thought he was down, he'd come up with something.

This book was great fun.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I'm an ediot
Review: Artemis Fowl was a very great book. I liked it a lot. It is kind of like the Hobbit. it has lots of different charachters in it. It makes you want to keep guessing what is going to happen next. It is very excitting from the first page to the last. I could not put this book down after I started it because I liked it so much but at the same time I wanted it to drag on because it was so good.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: disappointed :(
Review: I was very disappointed in the book, Artemis Fowl Bk.I. From the very beginning I felt there was something missing in its development and created "facts". I felt the author was trying to use "in" or modern day gross out material aimed at 9 yr. old boys. Although I felt it didn't work, I continued to read. Still thought I was being too critical of the copy-cat characters from TV crime shows until I spoke with a school librarian. She highly reviewed Harry Potter and many other of the classic series that 6-8 graders read but felt that Artemis Fowl did not meet the expectation of quality.
I felt I was mislead by the reviews of this book. Rarely does that happen so blatantly. In my opinion, there is very little creativity to blossom from reading this book. And in this very busy time, even children should find relaxing reading which also stimulates their imagination.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FowlFan
Review: I loved Artemis Fowl. Artemis is a 12-year old criminal mastermind. His father, that had gone missing last year, had lost a lot of the Fowl family fortune. Artemis comes up with a plan to kidnapp a fairy and hold it for ransom to get fairy gold, but the fairy Artemis captures is Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon. The whole entire book is cool and I like Artemis the best in the book even though he is evil.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: In a league of its own!!
Review: In this time of magical fantasies, Artemis Fowl is in a league of his own and an excellent book to read. You cannot help but get in to the characters and want to learn more about them. This story will keep you reading until the last page to find out more about Artemis. Set aside plenty of time, you will want it.

Artemis Fowl is a 12 year old criminal mastermind with a heart!! Highly intelligent, Artemis uses his skills to steal gold from the fairy world to help fund his search for his missing father. With the help of his loyal manservent and only friend, Butler, Artemis accomplishes the impossible. He kidnaps Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon division and sets out to ransom her for the fairies gold...

Join Artemis Fowl and Butler in this great adventure where anything can happen if you keep turning the pages...

Rating: 5 stars
