Summary: The school review
Review: Artemis Fowl was a great book. The reason I say this is because its one the easiest books I have read but still has a great plot. Artemis Fowl is a twelve-year-old boy with a plan to become the youngest criminal mastermind ever known and once again restore his family with billions of dollars. The thing is that the Fowl's have always been criminals and had always been filthy rich. But in a recent event most of their money had been taken from them. Artemis's father, Artemis Senior, another one of the Fowl's dirty trade, decided to put a lump sum of their money into a plan that didn't work taking most of their fortune. Month's later Artemis Senior died on a ship with his butler/bodyguard in a quiet explosion at sea. Artemis never really gave up hope that his father would be found. He always had a projector running with CNN on, always hoping for a broadcast of his father's rescue. The projector had been running about a year or two ever since the accident. Artemis's mom who had been traumatized by her husbands disappearance of her husband that she decided to lock herself inside her bedroom until he came back. Artemis has lost all hope of his father's return and wonders if his mom will ever be the same.
This book isn't just all about Artimes. This book is filled with fairies, sprites, goblins and other mystical creatures from under the earth. There is the LEP that is kind of like a fairy CIA or Delta force. The other main character is Holly. She is the first ever female in the LEP and has a hard time in this book.
This is a great book and I recommend it to someone who is having a hard time finding a book. It keeps you on your toes and it was hard for even me to put it down. I give this book five stars.

Summary: Artemis deserves more credit.
Review: Artemis Fowl was the best book I ever read, no questions asked. Though I am a loyal Harry Potter fan, he's only second-rate compared to Artemis. This book was exciting and a page-turner. I know it is odd, but Artemis was my favorite character. Witty, genius, and interesting he was my favorite character from page one. He deserves a lot more credit then he's getting. Bravo Colfer. Keep 'em coming!

Summary: Potter vs. Fowl
Review: I was intrigued by this series based on rumors that it was as good as the famed Harry Potter. So, to all you Harry Potter fans, it isn't quite the same caliber in my opinion. However, it was suprisingly enjoyable and was very easy to read. The story wasn't what I had anticipated at all, but was very entertained by Colfer's story and characters. If you enjoy magic and fantasy creatures, give this book a shot!

Summary: A hero who is a criminal? For children?!
Review: There is absolutely nothing about Artemis Fowl that should be appealing to anyone. You can see it in the other reviews, and you can see it on the blurb on the book's cover -- Artemis is a criminal.He is a young man, the "hero" of these tales, and his is one of the most brilliant minds in the world. And yet he uses his brains for conniving, criminal mischief. This is heroism that we want our children to cheer for? Sure, there's fairies and magic and an underground world that is delightfully enchanting, but one never loses the fact of who and what Artemis is. Just as I was beginning to think that perhaps I was wrong and that Artemis would turn over a new leaf, the narrator of the story actually tells us that while it may look like we should feel sympathy toward Artemis, he has not in fact changed. Indeed, he is more resolute to continue his criminal ways. An easy to read style and a fairly unique fantasy setting may fool some people to think that this is just a harmless, fun read, but a criminal is still a criminal, and Artemis IS a criminal with not a shred of decency going for him. There are plenty of books available that capitalize on Harry Potter's fame, and they do so in entertaining, fun ways. Most of the books in the DINOTOPIA series are heads above Artemis Fowl, and Philip Pullman's HIS DARK MATERIALS trilogy is easily one of the most unique, ambitious, and fantastic reads around. Or try Bruce Coville's Magic Shop books, or his Unicorn series. Fairies and adventure are fine, but don't give me a "hero" that I can't wish to emulate. Yes, a hero can have faults. In fact a hero SHOULD have faults (as Harry does). But a hero should also have more positive features than negative.

Summary: A Wonderful Romp
Review: Artemis Fowl, by Eoin Colfer is a cross between Pippi Long Stocking and Richie Rich. Twelve-year old Artemis Fowl, millionaire, genius and criminal mastermind, has come up with a plan to black mail the fairies out of their gold and restore his family fortune. The events which ensue afterwards make for a rollicking good story. Some parents may be dismayed by the idea of a story about a twelve year old criminal, however they shouldn't be concerned. Artemis Fowl is harmless fun. Preston McClear, ...

Summary: A Brilliant Mix
Review: Another reviewer called this "Die Hard with Fairies". I agree, but I'll compare it to a brilliant mix of James Bond and Star Trek with the classic fantasy creatures. Artemis is a 12 year old criminal mastermind and he's developed the master plan to steal gold from the underworld fairies. Only, it's not going to be easy because the fairies are nearly invisible to the human population (Mud People) and they have tech that Captain Kirk would LOVE to get his hands on and have packaged into nifty little gadgets that only James Bond could appreciate. I really enjoyed this book as I think all 5th grade and up children would. The combat, and the effects of it, are a little bit graphic for younger children. After you finish reading the book, there is a cryptogram to decipher as an added bonus for kids who like to solve puzzles. It's not a tough code to break, but still alot of fun. I look forward to more installments of this series.
