Think of a juvenile James Bond with an IQ beyond Einstein’s. Then throw him in a world of technologically superior fairies, and the fun can begin.

And this is really what Artemis Fowl is about, first and foremost: FUN.

Some might say it reverts too easily to stereotypes, but I am not sure whether this is actually a bad thing. Too much depth, too much complexity in character development, might have taken the umpf out of the sheer fun ride I’ve had in reading Artemis.

The basic idea of the book–for those new to Fowl’s world–is that there is an underground world of fairies who go to great pains to keep their existence a secret from the human upper world. Until Artemis, a young criminal master mind, tracks down the fairies and upsets the whole balance of the worlds above and below ground.

In summary: Don’t expect the symbolism of Narnia, the metaphysics of His Dark Materials, or the detail of Harry Potter. Artemis Fowl doesn’t have any of those. Instead, expect to be blasted away by the explosive energy of a fun novel.

Spoilers!
This book is about a 12 year old criminal mastermind by the name of Artemis Fowl. For once we are actually on the side of the villain! Now, the book summary is a little bit misleading and sounds rather cheesy to me:
“These aren’t the fairies of bedtime stories. These fairies are armed and they’re dangerous.”
This does not do the book justice in my opinion. I would never have read the book if the librarian hadn’t recommended it. Many of the one star reviews go on and on about how there are so many typos. Well, in almost every book there are typos, and I found I didn’t notice them unless I was actually looking for them. Plus, I see them in Harry Potter, Nancy Drew, and many other noteworthy books.
I thought it was very nice to be rooting for the villain for once, and the fact that he wins in the end is even better. I love Butler the butler, and I thought how Eoin Colfer gave background info on every character was wonderful. I thought that he did a really good job describing the characters emotions and what motivates them. Artemis wants more money because he believes it will make him happier. Butler wants to be a good bodyguard, and Holly Short wants to please her commander and do a good job in LEPrecon, her job. Mulch (perhaps one of my top three favorite characters) just wants to escape prison, and he manages it!
I have recommended this book to several of my friends and they love it, also I think adults would enjoy it as well, my mother did. I thought that the ending was very well done with Artemis sacrificing half the gold to have Holly heal his mother, who is very sick, and doesn’t always recognize him. I also thought that Holly was a very well done character, and I enjoy seeing a girl portrayed as tough and smart. Overall a very good book, which has made it into my top ten books of all time.

Althought the strength of motherlove is a common theme today in children’s books, this work stands out in the hearts of children thanks to the lovable characters and warm,color-rich art. This book has found a spot on Grandma’s bookshelf, too. The book ends with all being safe, hugged and loved at the top of the world. Readers are sure to feel the same.

I bought this solely for its exercise potential. And it is working out great! I am morbidly obese and I’m finding that the Wii Sports games that came bundled in it are perfect for someone who cannot stand for long periods of time. I’m currently up to 40 minutes per day doing a combined routine of bowling,boxing and golf-with an occasional game of baseball or tennis.

Buy the Wii and start getting fit!

I have a two year old Weimaraner and this bed is fantastic. He can stretch out and still rest his head on the pillow portion. It is hands down the fluffiest dog bed I have ever seen. It is soft and durable. i will buy another one should I get more dogs.

Why does every book need to be compared to the bible. Whi decides what was in the bible? Vatican Priests thats who. Do you have any idea howe many books were written by Gnostic Christians in eary 100-200 ad thats were left OUT of the new testament? And wasn’t the Vatican Church the same church thats gave the world such great times like the Dark Ages, The Inquisition, and the Crusades? PEOPLE decided what was to be put in the Bible not God. An isn’t it interesting tha t everytime someone has a different perspective on God , they are persicuted just like Jesus was, I guess Christians truly are the Satan, they act in the comlpete opposite spririt of thier mentor. They act in the most opposite of God themselves. Creating seperatism and disunity, the exact Opposite of God. Religon should be viewed as stepping stones to God’s truth, not the not stone tables written that can never be changed.
