Artemis Fowl is the first of a series of semi-realist novels produced by Eoin Colfer. They document the adventures of a precocious prodigal child of the criminal empire, Artemis Fowl. In this book, accompanied by his huge and loyal bodyguard/sidekick/advisor Butler, Artemis engages in a series of surreal activities; the absence of his missing father and the mental disorder of his mother allow him to pursue the unlikely position of a criminal mastermind. However, Artemis soon encounters more than he bargains for when his attempted capture of a member of the underground 'fairy' civilization goes terribly wrong. Be prepared for a thrilling adventure, with trolls, magic and much more!
Twelve-year-old 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 Short of the LEPrecon Unit. These aren't the fairies of bedtime stories—they're dangerous! Full of unexpected twists and turns, Artemis Fowl is a riveting, magical adventure.
Reviews with the most likes.
A quick, enjoyable read. I liked the writing and most of the humour, but I liked the supporting cast more than the main characters and I'm not sure how big a role they'll play in the rest of the series. Worth finding out, I reckon.
I loved this. Was surprised. I had heard of it, but never really bothered to read it. Well written, would read more in the series.
Amazing, Just fu**ing amazing.
Blown my mind, the Hype is real.
After seeing the trailer, I have decided to read the books before the movie came out, best decision ever!
This book is wildly engaging and entertaining.
Go read it you all!
An enjoyable read. Clearly aimed at younger readers but still a fun and interesting storyline. Keen to read more in the series.
