Artemis Fowl

"Can’t put it down! "

"Artemis Fowl is a nostalgic read for me, I read it as a kid, and again at some point in my teenage years. It's quite good for a middle-grade book flipping some of the norms of the genre on its head. Namely, the main character is a villain. I love the writing style of Colfer, he's just a bit over the top sometimes and it's funny. Everyone's characters are dramatized a little too much, as is normal for younger age-targeted novels, but because the plot is strong and the characters are unique enough it ends up working. I especially love Foley and always have, his wittyness has always amused me as I'm sure it has for many other readers. I do wish the fairies weren't so human-like. I find it hard to discern anything but cultural differences as an adult. It would be cool if they had a completely different feel, but then again you would complicate things in a way that might lead to confusion for the younger targeted audience. - Let's hope bio-bombs are never made reality - If you knew you could get away with it, how far would you go for millions? - Butler would be a great bagpipes player "

"I read the whole series and I loved all the books. It was action-packed, magical, and even had romance. I didn't like how the last book went. 8/10⭐"

"I have the whole series. I began reading it to my then pre teen son. We both really loved it! "

"This series is perfect for those looking to invest in fantasy for the first time. It hooked me and I have loved it since. "

"I tried really hard to get into the first book, but it just didn’t click with me I’d still recommend it to anyone who likes villain antagonists and a scifi meets fantasy world"

"An amazing book, truly surprises the audience with its inventive setting and characters. A great start to a great series"

"Artemis was a bunch of laughs for both of us. I concurrently worked out the code at the bottom of the page before we finished the first. It stars some rather wonderful characters, including Mulch Diggums--a flatulent fellow, Holly Short--a fairy cop from LEPrecon, and Artemis. "
