Summary: Truly Amazing:)
Review: This book is amazing, I could list a whole load of words down here to describe it, but I think amazing suits it perfectly, if you haven't yet read it, or are planning on reading it, I urge you to do so, it really is a fantastic book, if it was possible, I would have given this book TEN stars out of five.
This is book is nearly as good as 'The Amber Spyglass' By Philip Pullman, and BETTER than the 'Harry Potter' books!!!!!!!(By J.K Rowling) I truly admire Eoin Colfer, congratulations, Mr. Colfer, on writing such a *think of the best word you can to put here* book!"I wish I hadn't read it, so I could read it again." says Maisie, 11 year old girl from England;)

Summary: Artemis Fowl
Review: The book I read was Atremis Fowl, written by Eilon Colfer. It is about a 12-year-old boy who tries to steal gold from fairies. The story was just ok. It was kind of boring. My favorite character was Mr. Butler, Artemis's bodyguard. The story took place in England. I would recommend this book to a friend because the ending is exciting.

Summary: Oh please!
Review: sheesh! everyone everywhere is full of nothing but praise for this book(also for Harry Potter too!)
well, I think you should know right now, that it is a very badly written!I am 13, and maybe that acounts for my dislike...
it is very childish, boring and much much too over hyped.look-if you found " the series of unfortunate events" to be not very terrible at all, then this like that- Artemis fowl is not at all a horrible criminal mastermind everyone says he is in all the other reviews.he is not cold blooded, he does not kill, he is just a stupid boy looking for gold...the fairies are not realistic and very boring, and the "high tech" of theirs are not exciting to read about,just boringly stated out to you in a few short sentances. the characters have very little emotions, because the writer thinks that all we need to understand of their emotions of the characters can be told with a"he shouted, red faced",or a "he replied icily".totaly bad litrature.
I think this should have been a movie, because there is a lot of action, but shouldn't have been made into a book.

Summary: Great read for kids with a sophisticated vocabulary
Review: We just started reading this one a few days ago, and I love it. Some of the words, and phrases are challenging for my 7 & 9 year old, though, so I pause every so often while I am reading to explain some of the new vocabulary words. I think it's going to be a fantastic series. High tech for "today's kids", yet some of the same concepts of the adventure/fantasy books I read when I was the same age as my sons. I do wish people would stop comparing this book with the Harry Potter series, though. While it is a wonderful series to read, so were the Boxcar Children books, the Jedi Apprentice series and Captain Underpants books. Each is different, and to compare them does justice to none.

Summary: A Magical Read
Review: I have read Artemis Fowl with my seventh grade students. Just from hearing the brief summary on the back, I had students begging to be included in the group. I had to purchase additional copies just to accomodate them all. The book is extremely engaging. The students that read it almost always read beyond the designated stopping point because they wanted to know what was going to happen next. By the way, has anyone else tried to translate the message across the bottom of the pages? It's really cool. The book must have some magical powers - it got 8 reluctant readers to enjoy reading.

Summary: Not so Much For Harry Potter Fans
Review: Almost every other fantasy book that has come out since Harry Potter has been said to be for Harry Potter fans. I however, wouldn't say the same thing. An entirely different sort of pace with characters that could never resemble Harry Potter.
I loved this book, it was very catchy. The whole idea of capturing a fairy for ransom and fairies fighting back was very amusing to me. Eoin Colfer has given a whole new meaning to "fairies" and "magic".
Buy it and read it!

Summary: A criminal genius with big plans meets a fairy ....
Review: Artemis is a child genius - a truly gifted 12 year old. What is his talent you ask, music, painting, sports? Artemis is a criminal genius, following a long line of Fowl criminals. When his father vanishes Artemis has to deal with the fact that his family is now only rich, instead of being filthy rich. Artemis hatches a brilliant plan - he will get gold from the fairies. His plan is daring and includes the capture of a LEPrecon. Captain Holly Short was relatively easy to catch, but now Artmeis has to deal with one very annoyed fairy - and she fights dirty. This book is fantastic and has had the misfortune of being compared to the Harry Potter books (as other reviewers have pointed out). If anything this book has more in common with the dry sense of humour contained in the Series of Unfortunate Event books by Lemony Snicket rather than the "serious" fantasy of the Harry Potter books. This book is funny, makes you think, and keeps you entertained - a combination that you don't often find in books for older children and teenagers. I had to read this book in one sitting because it was a book that kept you turning the pages. I have also recently started reading the book to my 5 year old nephew and he is enjoying it too. If you want a lot of humour with your books then try this book - you won't be dissappopinted.
