Summary: Great, awesome...b ut I can't quite give it 5 stars
Review: This book has a good plot, intersting charachters, and an evil hero. Awesomeness, but some parts were sort of cheesy. Definantly worth reading, though! Artemsi Fowl:The Arcitc Incident is another good read!Oh, but don't read it if you aren't into fantasty and action movies!

Summary: Awesome, an all time classic tale
Review: As soon as I started to read Artemis Fowl I was taken away by the way Eion Colfer wrote this book. I could not put it down. I got this book on Monday and was done by Saturday. There will never be another book that is this dang good.

Summary: A Really Great Book!
Review: This Book is great,I really liked reading this book because it was very interesting. I like it because Artemis Fowl is a criminal Mastermind and he is really smart. I also like it because it has technology, (that's always great!) It has action and it has some karate/judo fighting. The book is really exciting. It never lets you go until you finish the book. it has an interesting view on how Artemis sees the world. I also like his bodyguard Butler. I like Butler because he's a hand-to-hand expert, and he can take down somebody without any weapons. Overall I would rate this book a 5 and reccomend it to anyone that likes Fantasy Books.

Summary: Awesome Book
Review: Book name: Artemis Fowl Author: Eoin Colfer Published: 2001 What comes to your mind when I say the word "fairies?" You think of the whimsical little creatures that fly around with their little wands, right?
Well, in Artemis Fowl, wrong. Fairies and the other Lower Elements (magical creatures like fairies, pixies, gnomes and centaurs) are the most
technologically advanced race on the planet. They have huge guns, cameras in contact lenses, bombs that only kill living things, but leave no
physical evidence, even DNA-coded plasma cannons. And everything is nuclear powered. There is also a lower elements police called, well, the
Lower Elements Police or the LEP. This story is about an LEP reconnaissance officer named Captain Holly Short. She's the only female officer
ever in the LEP. But before I can get into that, I should probably tell you who Artemis Fowl is.
The Fowls are on of the most powerful, rich and influential families in Ireland. But since the disappearance of Artemis Fowl Senior, the Fowl family
fortune has been diminishing. So the headstrong Artemis Fowl Junior decides to do something about it. But this isn't just one of those
little-kid-big-dream things. Artemis Fowl is the most brilliant, cunning, clever criminal mastermind that has ever lived. He finds out about the Lower
Elements and gets a copy of "The Book", like the fairy bible that has their rules to live by, and describes their society. He finds that they have a
great amount of gold. He decides that he wants some of that gold, and that nothing is going to stop him. So he formulates a plan. He decides
that he'll kidnap a fairy and hold her ransom for one ton of twenty-four carat gold. That's where Holly comes in. The fairy Artemis kidnaps turns
out to be Holly. And since Holly is one of the LEP's top agents, it's a big deal. So, after several assassination and negotiation attempts, he LEP
comes up with a plan, too. They hand over the gold and get Holly out, then they send a bio-bomb in which kills every living thing but leaves no
physical evidence. They try to go back into the house to take the gold back but find out they are not able to enter. According to The Book, a
fairy cannot enter the dwelling of a mud man with the mud man's permission. Artemis had said no one could enter as long as he was alive. The
LEP figures that if Artemis was dead, they could enter. But they were physically not able to. So Artemis keeps his gold, and for once, the bad
guy wins.
Because the bad guy wins, there's not much of a moral. I guess it could be that cunning and cleverness will always win over technology. Artemis
learns that (while not the best lesson to learn) he can get what he wants through blackmail and thievery. He changes in the way that he
becomes more like his father, who did much illegal business.
This is one of the best books I have ever read. On a scale of one to ten, I would give it a sixteen. I liked it because it was so creative and
original. The plot is thrilling, intriguing, and suspenseful. It has a little of everything. Sci-Fi, fantasy, adventure, action, humor, and tons more. I
loved this book and would highly recommend it to anyone age 10 and up.

Summary: Whats not to Love about it?
Review: When I first read Artemis Fowl I was amazed that such a book had passed my sight for so long. The book has action, freedon, more action, unique characters, even more action, unique sistuations, even more action and much more. The way I see it, I ask my self, "whats not to love about it?" Everything about the book makes you want to read even more, and more and more and more and more and more and more and more . . . One person compared Artemis Fowl, to die hard with fairys, but its more like "Charlies Angles with attitude and BIG guns"

Summary: High Tech Fantasy
Review: Artemis Fowl is a great read for kids, middle teens and younger. It opens up your imagination to its fullest. I liked the plot, where Artemis, the villian, is trying to get ransom in exchnage for a fairy he has kidnapped (Holly Short). It takes place in modern times but the fairies have superior technology. It was a great book. I hope you like it.

Summary: not original
Review: I personally found this book to be annoying. The 2nd one was much better and the plot was better laid out. The style of writing here was not very good (please do not compare to Harry Potter because it does NOT even come close) and the characters seemed either over done or not enough. I'm sorry, but I didn't find it very real. However, in the Arctic Incident, I was kept better entertained. Unfortunately, in both books, Eoin Colfer needs DRASTIC character development because everyone is so...rigid.

Summary: 10 Year Old Raves About Artemis!
Review: I am in the fourth grade and finished this book in four days. I could not put it down...it was one of the best books I have read yet! Artemis is a knock-out thriller, action-packed and filled with mystical creatures. Artemis is about a 12-year old, millionaire and criminal mastermind. Artemis hides his emotions a lot, trying to act tough but I can see his kind side too. I can't wait to read the next book. I highly recommend Artemis Fowl.
