Artemis Fowl

Although written for teens, adults will also enjoy all Eoin Culfer books. Culfer creates Artemis Fowl as a know-it-all super-smart ultra-rich kid who doesn't face the same limitations as us meer mortals, but this is in part to mock novels that really do create such characters in seriousness.
I love the tough Captain Holly Short and her drive to solve the problems herself, no matter how small she is. I also find the centaur computer geek hilarious.

(By the way, one pronounces Eoin as "Ian.")

This book was one of my favorite books in the Artemis Fowl Series, and I think everyone should read this book.

Great series.

This book is so great cause you don't know who to root for! Artemis the criminal? but from Artemis' point of view he doesn't make the whole concept very criminalish! or Holly the victim who you definitely want to be saved! It is so good that a library in my school ran out of these books cause so many people wanted to read it, and there were 10 copies! It is really good and you have to read it!

This is really good. I was surprised that the main character was a criminal.

This book combines modern with fairy world, where fairies use technology more advanced than humans. So advanced humans are called "Mud People". Artemis is a boy genius who learns about fairy gold and tries to get some in order to rebuild his family's fortune with it. Unfortunately, the fairies chose to lay siege to his home instead of paying.

Artemis is trying to get back his family fortune--the one his dad destroyed--back and he starts by finding a magical being. Artemis captures a fairy, Holly, and demands her gold. Unfortunately, fairies are much stronger that imagined and fought back with trolls, technology, and bombs.

When I first started this book, I thought it was going to be some old book about a boy robbing a bank, but oh, no! definitely not. Artemis Fowl is my new favorite series about deception, adventure, and buff guys mowing down the Mafia in Russia!

This story was really, really interesting and kept me turning pages to see what came next. I'm new to the Artemis Fowl series, but people have been recommending it for years and now I see why. The story involves a race of fairies who live in a maze of tunnels underground, the only place the humans haven't found yet. Artemis Fowl is a 12-year-old criminal mastermind who has one goal: restoring his family name by acquiring lots of wealth. To do this, he will target the fairies and their stash of gold. The story is told from two different viewpoints, so that you can't help but sympathize with the characters on both sides of the conflict. A must-read for fans of fantasy, sci-fi, or fairy tales.

The Artemis Fowl series is awesome, and this book is the best in the series. With most books you know that the side with the main character on it will win, but with this book there is a main character on both sides, so what will happen? It is also nice that one of the main characters is a prodigy, it gets annoying when being smart is often portrayed in books a s being useful, but not as important.

Great book! Not the best in the series, but good enough that I read the rest of the series that are out so far. Interesting

good great

This first book really got me hooked onto this series. It is well done and is a must-read for anyone that enjoys science fiction.

The Artemis Fowl series is not only entertaining but extremely cool. It recalls the life of a criminal mastermind and his adventures.

Awesome

Artemis fowl is probably one of my favorite books. I am 12 years old, and I have a list of books that I re-read at the start of every school year. This list fluctuates but Artemis Fowl has made the list for four years in a row. I own the book and will read it many more times. Even thought we all know this is a fantasy story, while you are reading it is hard not to believe everything is possible and or true. I think throughout the series the characters' personalities are developed greatly, and they form some unexpected relationships. After I read this book for the first time, I couldn't decide If I wanted to be Captain Holly Short, or Artemis, but I knew that I wanted to be a part of the story. I would highly recommend this book to anyone between the ages of 8 and 13. I hope that anyone who read this will continue with the series, as it only gets better.
