Summary: Wonderfully written.
Review: Very well written for the audience. The stories are very enriching. I would hope that Colfer might get a little more detailed in technical aspects as something that are mentioned...like gadgets and stuff are quite shallow. Apart from this, I enjoyed the book.

Summary: Not the best, but hey...
Review: So this wasn't the greatest kids fantasy book I've ever read, but it was still fun to read, and trying to decode the language at the bottom of the pages was fun. I hate it when people compare kids books to -other- kids books, like Harry Potter. This is not Harry Potter, so get over it. I'm an older teen, so I think this book would've gotten 5 stars from me if I was a bit younger, but otherwise, it's an interesting read.

Summary: A Book About Genius By A Genius
Review: What I like most about ARTEMIS FOWL is the character of Artemis. He is an evil mastermind, essentially a thief who tries to get back his family's wasted gold. His greatest obstacle is the LEPrecon who have never yet parted with their precious gold. The most exciting part of the book is probably how Artemis drugs himself and Butler, his bodyguard, to avoid being destroyed by the "bio bomb" and to escape the "time field". I love this book.By "Nuju" aged 10, in Los Angeles.

Summary: Great story if you're under 15
Review: I admit that the story is original in idea. The depth of the characters and the driving actions that progress the story are a little shallow. I enjoyed the book and have read the entire series so it couldn't have been that bad but don't expect to find a Harry Potter equivalent. Overall an enjoyable easy read.

Summary: Quite a Disappointment
Review: I had heard a lot about Artemis Fowl, and i must say the rave reviews that i read were not justified. The book was as stupid as the back cover made it sound.
I will say that it was somewhat original, but the plot lacked any depth. The characters were extremely flat and boring.
I ususally enjoy fantasy, but Artemis Fowl barely kept my attention.

Summary: Great, but not the greatest
Review: I found this book in a store and fascinated by its glittering cover I opened it. It's mainly about a young criminal mastermind named Artemis Fowl, who tries to gain gold by kidnapping a fairy, who turns out to be Holly Short, a female captain.
During the read, I laughed several times - plenty of jokes in there to keep people happy. There's a bit of fighting, not to mention developed technology. The words are easy and simple. I'd say it's a great book, but not the greatest. The book doesn't go very deep; but it's certainly entertaining. However, I recommend this book only to 4~6 graders or older people who feel younger. To others, I believe, it would be interesting but not exactly satisfactory.

Summary: I loved it!
Review: Okay, so I really do adore this book, and I am 15. A little too old for something like this, you might think, but it reads like a very good, smart action movie. So maybe sometimes the charecters are a little overblown, and the humor a bit too
juvenile, but I don't care! I read these books whenevever I
need to escape for a little while.
And as to all the comparasons to Harry Potter, it is a completely different type of book.

Summary: Artemis Fowl
Review: Artemis Fowl This book is sort of a mix between the Harry potter series and Lord of the rings series. For a second let's just forget about them both, because this book is not comparable with any other fantasy books. The language is easy (meant for age 9-12) and Eoin Colfer, the author, did a great job in ending the story.
It is about a young masterminded criminal named Artemis Fowl. He goes on an adventure with his Butler from stealing the Book of the Fairies in the Underworld (a fantasy world exist underground). However, an officer fairy goes by the name of Captain Holly Short, and she becomes a problem to Artemis Fowl. After his capture of the captain, it brings a disaster to the Fowl Mansion. I won't spoil you any more details, so just go get the book and start reading it. There are a few more of the Artemis Fowl series and I was planning to read them soon, you should too.

Summary: A good book, but for a small age group
Review: This book is good but is for a small age group from about 9 to 13. This book is about a artemis a character that can neither be called bad nor good (but mainly bad mwhahaha) who takes a faerie hostage for money and stuff. It sounds kind of wierd but its a a good book for the age group its written for. Its not a book were you can tell what happens next the evil person in a way neither wins nor loses. All in all its a good book you need to read if your in the age groups whod like it. If your to young itll be hard to read and if your to old it may be to "kiddish"

Summary: BEWARE.... narrow target audience
Review: I can say from experience that this is certainly a book that is raved about. When this book first came out, I was recommended this book by my best friend at the time that seemed to take interest in the same books as me. The book seemed to be well written enough, but there was just something about it that didn't appeal to me.
After finishing it disappointed, I put it back on my shelf for a few years. But the bookstores, the reviews, and the kids continued to rave about it. Thinking I may have missed a trick, I give it another try. But after completing it again, I am very curious to know what the deal is. I ask around. Finding that there are as many people disappointed with the book (like myself) as there are people who are raving mad for it.
And finally I come to a conclusion. This book has a very narrow target audience. Artemis Fowl has characters, setting and plot that would appeal to 9 and 10 year olds, but the writing language is complex enough to satisfy a 13 year olds requirements. For example, read this book to a year 4 class, and the jokes about farting trolls go right over their little heads. When read to a yr 5 class, some won't get it, but most will crack up with laughter. Read it to yr 6 class however, half will giggle and half with roll their eyes at the sheer thought of how juvenile the whole complex paragraph ended up being!! Concluding this, you may want to consider how interested you are going to be in the plot line before reading this book by reading the blurb and some editorial and customer reviews, because it is not like Harry Potter (which just about everyone on the planet has fallen -or is going to fall- in love with) Note to parents: you may want to read this yourself before giving to children, to check whether or not their reading level is up to this hard read, and to consider whether or not they will be interested in the book's theme.
