Summary: Excellent Read all Around
Comment: I have yet to read any of the Harry Potter books, to which many are inevitably comparing this too, so I can't judge on that. By the books own merits alone, I can honestly say that it was a terriffic read, extremely enjoyable. I picked it up right before a flight and devoured the thing before days end. "Die Hard with Fairies" is an excellent description. I definitely smell a sequel. Artemis himself was pretty interesting and original for a children's book "anti-hero". I'm not sure if I want my children to emulate his ethics, but you have to admire his intelligence, determination, and confidence. And Butler, by the way, is THE MAN. Anybody who can go toe to toe with a troll in unarmed single combat is one bad mutha... I have to give it 5 stars. I don't think Artemis will topple the literary giant Harry Potter has become, but he does have a lot of promise. "Artemis Fowl" is well written, well crafted, and a lot of fun. I hope that Mr. Colfer writes another one, I know I'll buy it.

Summary: because its not my fav in the series.
Comment: First of all I would like to point out that this book is NOTHING like Harry Potter, they only share slight similarities in that it deals with humans and their interactions with magical species of fairies, elves, goblins, trolls and oh yeah a centaur. Don't expect to find a protagonist who goes off to learn the ways of warlocks and witches, there is a fight with a troll but no wands are being twirled here. The only resemblance Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl have, is that they grow older through out the books in the series and are both teen-aged boys. With that cleared up, I suggest you read this book and the other's in its series because they are well written and the adventures are as interesting as the ones in HP. Artemis Fowl is more like a cops and robbers, crime novel for kids but that can be enjoyed by older ones as well. This is the one I liked the least in the books released as to date on Artemis Fowl: it's sort of slow paced in the beginning and has the quality that any book beginning a series has of making huge explanations about everything and giving to many boring details which you won't encounter that much on Books 2 or 3 because the author assumes that you read Book 1 (and you should). Needless to say read it, and read it fast because the ones to come are even better and much more interesting. If you expected Artemis Fowl to be a synonym and a substitute to Harry Potter I suggest you skip the series altogether and re read the HP books until big #5 comes out.

Summary: Artemis Fowl
Comment: Artemis Fowl is a genius. He has the technology to escape anything beat anyone and even exploit multi-million dollar corporations even though he is only twelve years old. Sadly when his father disappeared a few years ago Artemis was left alone with his mother who shut herself up in the attic. With the help of his trusty butler, who is not just a butler, Artemis has formed a plan to kidnap a leprechaun and steal her gold. When he does capture a leprechaun he go more than he bargained for. Now he has the entire Leprechaun army at his door along with sprites fairies and any other magical creatures and this time he may have started a war between humans and magical creatures that he might not be able to solve.
