Product Description
Twelve-year-ancient Artemis Fowl is a millionaire, a genius—and, above all, a criminal mastermind. But even Artemis doesn’t know what he’s taken on when he kidnaps a fairy, Captain Holly Fleeting of the LEPrecon Unit. These aren’t the fairies of bedtime tales; these fairies are armed and treacherous. Artemis thinks he has them right where he wants them…but then they stop playing by the rules.

Eoin Colfer describes his new book, Artemis Fowl, as “Die Hard with fairies.” He’s not far incorrect.
Twelve-year-ancient Artemis Fowl is the most ingenious criminal mastermind in history. With two trusty sidekicks in tow, he hatches a cunning plot to deny the fairyfolk of their pot of gold. Of course, he isn’t foolish enough to judge in all that “gold at the end of the rainbow” nonsense. Rather, he knows that the only way to separate the small people from their stash is to kidnap one of them and wait for the ransom to arrive. But when the time comes to place his plot into action, he doesn’t count on the appearance of the extrasmall, pointy-eared Captain Holly Fleeting of the LEPrecon (Lower Fundamentals Police Reconnaisance) Unit–and her senior officer, Commander Root, a man (sorry, elf) who will stop at nothing to get her back.
Fantastic stuff from beginning to end, Artemis Fowl is a rip-roaring, 21st-century romp of the highest order. The leader has let his imagination run riot by combining folklore, fantasy, and a fistful of high-tech funk in an outrageously devilish book that could well do for fairies what Harry Potter has done for wizardry. But be warned: this is no gentle frolic, so don’t be fooled by the fairy theme matter. As a replacement for, what we have here is well-written, sophisticated, rough ‘n’ tumble storytelling with enough high-octane attitude to make it a seriously cool read for anyone over the age of 10. –Susan Harrison

There is absolutely nothing about Artemis Fowl that should be appealing to anyone. You can see it in the additional reviews, and you can see it on the blurb on the book’s take in — 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 delightful, but one never loses the fact of who and what Artemis is. Just as I was beginning to reflect that perhaps I was incorrect and that Artemis would turn over a new leaf, the narrator of the tale really 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 simple to read style and a honestly unique fantasy setting may fool some people to reflect 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.

Everyone, I wrote up a 1-star review for this book…and I went back and re-read parts of Artemis Fowl. It wasn’t as terrible as I thought it would be. I now give it three stars, but, when I click “Edit Review,” it doesn’t allow me to change the number of stars I give it, so remember, this is a 3 star review.
I establish out that Butler’s name is “Butler” because it is his last name, and Artemis calls him by this. But, I have a new problem: the only part I didn’t like one bit is when Artemis decodes a foreign language (the fairy language) in one night. It would have taken longer to figure out a whole new language, wouldn’t you reflect?
But, the dialogue is awesome in some parts; you can tell who’s talking in many cases just by their personality.
The one dull part I encountered is when Holly is talking to Root. I don’t know why, but this bored me a small. But there’s permanently a chance that I may try and read more of this book. But, if you are a die-hard fantasy fan, try this book out, I reflect you’ll like it.

I really agree with the additional reviews with one star. They said it better than I could, but there is one thing I’d like to add, I was forced to read this in fourth grade and I practically slept though the whole book then failed test we had to take after. What I say is [...] on fourth grade teachers who make their kids read a book they didn’t even like.
I thank you for reading this and also add you might delight in: The Amulet of Samarkand (The Bartimaeus Trilogy, Book 1) or The Thief Lord.
