Artemis Fowl (Artemis Fowl #1)

Reader reviewed by Zachary

This book is great, absolutely one of my favorite children's books of all time.

We meet a young genius with his sidekick bodyguard who discover the existence of beings of myth.
LepRechauns, Rather, LEP Recon, and an amazing underlying world of advanced civilization, slightly further than the world above.

Artemis of course, being a child, has no idea what he's gotten himself into and entertainingly works to figure for himself the answers.

This is great story about a fantasy world in which fairies and leprechauns live and try to keep their world a secret to humans. They are conforted by a highly intelligent boy who would like to exploit their secrets and rule the world. Funny and well written.

I just thought that someone from the actual age group should review this book.
I'm 15 and I have to say that I liked this book a lot.

Although many think that it is a childish book because of the magic, fairies, etc. It actually is serious and thought provoking enough that people of a broad range will like it.

This series is about how a 12 year-old boy
"Artemis Fowl" gets himself and his bodyguard
"Butler" into trouble with a technologicaly advanced and hidden species and culture.

I think this book could be considered a family book as children, teens, and adults seem to enjoy it. :-) I RATE IT 4.25

Yes, the book was criminal. But in a good way. I hadn't been into science fiction before Artemis, but it totally got me into that whole genre.

Colfer has a good sense of humor that shines through in the book. The irony in it is funny.

The characters are well-developed and three-demensional. So well-developed that I actually started infatuating love towards Artemis (crazy, I know - absolutely psycho.) But that's over.

My point is, there is excellent character development. They all have separate and individual personalities that are quite comical put together. The language is also strong and well-written.

Definitely worth reading, guys!

This a great beginning to a wonderful series. Artemis Fowl is a great read and the addition of fairies puts this book over the hedge. Holly is one kick-but fairy who rules this novel. Artemis Fowl might not teach good moral lessons (or maybe it does) but it is funny and a smart clever read that if fun and exciting and makes you want to know more about the mysterious Artemis Fowl.

There he goes, being a twelve-year-old millionare is not the only thing Artemis knows. In fact he knows almost everything, he is a criminal mastermind and most of all a genius. Follow him in his journey, to search for fairies gold.

Is the gold real, or is it just another trick of Artemis Fowl.

Artemis Fowl is a cunning, genius of a 12-year old boy. Some people say he's like Harry Potter, but if they say this, then they must not have read the book very well. Artemis Fowl isn't a wizard, he's a 12-year old criminal/genius. I liked the Harry Potter series, and I would like to recommend the Artemis Fowl series if you've read the Harry Potter seies. I'd also recommend Artemis Fowl if you haven't read Harry Potter. I love adventure books, and if there's ever adventure books, then this Artemis Fowl series is one of the best of them. I really liked how the story (1rat book) was put together,and I am starting the second book.

I really sceptical when I checked out this book from the library. I was like hmm, well this isn't going to be a fun read. But I was really wrong. This book was GREAT.
Artemis Fowl is a rich, genius at only 13 years old. He hatches a plan to steal fairy gold from (who else) the fairies. Will his dirty scheme work?

Artemis Fowl is a contemporary fantasy that blens the mysteries of magic with the adventures of what our own world will never possess. I thought it was an interesting story that ensures the faster turning of pages in the many moments of thrills and mysteries.
