Summary: The Great Artemis Fowl
Review: The book I am reviewing is Artemis Fowl written by Eoin Coffer. My favorite character was actually Artemis Fowl because he was devilishly tricky and clever. It all started off in a city in an alley way of a city and later followed at Artemis Manor and underground. The majority of the book acquired at the Fowl Manor though. I also liked the part when the LepRecon officers (who live underground because they hate the sun and it drains all their powers) drop a bio bomb on the house which kills all living things. They do this in order to get back one of their officers that Artemis is holding hostage. I would recommend this book to a friend who likes strategy, adventure and how you done it books.

Summary: A Fun New Series
Review: Artemis Fowl is what you would call a man of many mysteries. Only he's not a man. He's a twelve-year-old boy. But he's no ordinary twelve-year-old boy. At his young age, he is not only a genius, and a millionaire, but he's also a criminal mastermind. But when he kidnaps Captain Holly Short, a fairy from the LEPrecon Unit, he doesn't know what he's in for. Because, you see, these fairies aren't sweet, like the Tooth Fairy, but dangerous, and somewhat unfriendly.This was a very exciting book for all ages, that will capture the hearts of Harry Potter, and science fiction/fantasy fans the world over. A great new series, with magic in every turn. Erika Sorocco

Summary: Don't believe the hype!!!
Review: This book is definitely not as good as advertised. This was a very big disappointment for me. I found Artemis Fowl to be a character who is not very believable. His attitude, the way he talks... definitely not a likable character. Plot is thin. Not very interesting.

Summary: Artemis Fowl
Review: Artemis Fowl is a fun filled book that everyone should read. If you like books that have adventure around every corner then you should read this one. Some characters have odd personalities like Butler who has weapons in every pocket, shoe and sleeve. Artemis Fowl is a type of guy who does something and enjoys it. He sticks to what he does and believes in following a fairy with gold or a leprechaun. Does this sound like a normal person to you? For Artemis this is a fun filled adventure in his everyday life.

Summary: Artemis Fowl -- Boy Genius
Review: Do you like to read about people who have such brilliant talents but dedicate themselves to criminal activities? Then the book Artemis Fowl is the right book for you. Artemis Fowl is a twelve year old boy. He is a genius, especially when he plots to steal gold from fairies. But Artemis dedicates himself to crime since the mysterious loss of his father. He was aboard the Fowl Star, a ship that sunk and now Artemis doesn't know if his father is still alive or not. His father had lost some money, and Artemis wants to make up for the lost money by stealing the gold that belongs to fairies.
Artemis is very good at planning schemes. His plan is to blackmail the fairies by capturing a fairy officer and only releasing her in exchange for gold. He puts an ad on the internet to help him find a fairy so he can get a copy of the fairies' book. The Book reveals the fairies' tricks and rules of life that could help him capture the fairy officer. Artemis meets a fairy and tricks her into letting him videotape the Book. With instructions from the Book Artemis captures a fairy officer named Holly Short who is the only female officer in the LEP forces, the fairy army. The LEP forces try everything to get Holly back. They send in trolls and armies to attack the Fowl manor. Will the fairy police rescue Holly or will they have to give up their gold?
Artemis Fowl is a good and challenging book. The parts in the book that I liked the best were when Artemis was trying to get his hands on the Book by tricking the fairy, and when Artemis Fowl captures Holly. I liked this book. I thought it was very exciting and I think you will like it, too.

Summary: Those who cannot see the forest for the trees have run afowl
Review: I'm a 53-year-old reader. "Artemis Fowl" is a wonderful book on many levels. The characters are engaging, and, yes, -- the vocabulary can be a bit of a stretch for younger readers -- but, shouldn't books for this targeted readership encourage the readers to enhance their vocabularies? Odd that no one has alluded to the book's hidden treasure. Ohm may well be offended. Best of all, the book is unequivocally fun!

Summary: Great Book
Review: This book is awesome. Read it. Eoin Colfer could rival Rowling as an author. Their writing styles are similar, and not just in the kid fantasy element. This book is probably deeper than Harry Potter, too, because you see things from the bad guy's point of view, causing the book to be less set out in black and white than Harry Potter. Read it now.

Summary: I raced through it!
Review: This is a very fast-paced book indeed. There is something happening on every page so that you never get bored. I read 90% of this book in one sitting and the rest the next morning (I needed my sleep). There is no over-description or indulgence here. It's a story told quickly and smartly. And I really cannot understand any of the negative reviews here. There are no REAL good guys or bad guys in this book. Everything is rather evenly balanced. So when people moan about Artemis Fowl being a nasty little boy and a villain and so on it really puzzles me. This book is written to be accessible to all ages, so when adults cannot get into the story it's a bit odd. The plot twists, while intelligent and clever, are NOT hard to follow. You'll be almost oblivious to them practically if you turn the pages as quickly as I did. I like the idea of setting it in Ireland and a 12 year old boy as the lead makes it appealing to kids moreso. My fave character tho was Foaly, the gadget-fixated centaur. I worry tho that maybe the presence of so much super high-tech gadgetry might date the book badly in a few years to come. It's cool to see fairies using plasma screens and surveillance cameras but the original Star Trek series looks badly dated now in retrospect and I worry that the same thing might befall Artemis Fowl. It's a shame because this really ought to be a timeless book. I'm certainly looking forward to the sequel. And if you like fantasy novels or intelligent fiction for all ages then quickly pick up a copy of Artemis Fowl. I got the hardback copy with the glittering sparkles all over the cover. And it looks way cool.

Summary: Fun, fast read!
Review: Artemis Fowl is a fairy tale turned upside down. Part villain, part hero, Fowl's intelligence and propensity for evil make him easy to dislike, but his weaknesses--his mother, Butler, and the wrestling-obsessed Juliet--let us see a softer side. This was a fun adventure with fairies, leprechauns, trolls, and dwarfs as you've never experienced them before! (Who knew dwarfs could shoot dirt out their butts??) Definitely a quick read for an adult, but quite fun. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Summary: Unforgettable Fantasy
Review: The action adventures of Artemis Fowl. One of the best fantasies you'll see in a while. The excitement builds as Artemis kidnaps a fairy all LEP (being the fairy police) rush to save their fellow officer. As people know there is gold to get when you capture a fairy. So that is what Artemis was looking for. He goes through a great deal with his butler (who knows 100 ways to kill you with in a matter of seconds with his hands). This is no ordinary butler as you can see. SO read the book and see butler take out an entire retrieval squad read Artemis Fowl!
