this book is really crazy and can you believe at the end (spoiler alert so i will not share it

Artemis Fowl is a fantasy novel mixed with science fiction. It is about a child-genius boy named Artemis Fowl whose next big scheme is to kidnap a fairy for a large ransom of gold. However these are not your typical pacifist fairies; they refuse to go down without a fight. More than the plot itself, it's the divergent characters that make this such a wonderful book. You have a cunning criminal mastermind who doesn’t even have a driver’s license, a loyal and incredible bodyguard, a stern and sarcastic fairy, a psychotic mom, and an ugly troll. Each character adds another layer of depth to this intricate story. There are times in this book when sometimes the reader can get lost or things are unexplained, but don’t worry because everything that is of doubt will get elucidated as you continue to read. Overall this is a unique and fabulous story. I definitely recommend you pick this book off your library shelf.

Our main protagonist is Artemis Fowl, a young, highly intelligent boy who comes from a prominent crime family. He's aided by his butler, who is the third-most skilled martial artist on the planet. After his mother had gone mad he kidnaps a fairly named Holly Short, in exchange for his mother's mind to be restored and half their gold. I like this book and I would recommend this to someone else. Mainly an audience of 10-12 year olds. The characters feel real and it's not like other books where the main protagonist is a goody two shoes, the characters are very intelligent. The plot has an interesting concept of fairies living in the core of the Earth, a child super criminal and espionage. The book isn't rushed and it explains everything well, As for the resolution it wasn't cheap our main character didn't change his ways. @Subsub of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library

Artemis fowl is awesome.
the movie is good but it doesn't to with the book🍿

this book is way to technologically advanced for its time. I love it!

This story felt a little disjointed, I didn't feel like having both a renegade fairy and a mental condition were necessary for the plot. I guess we'll see how it follows through in the next book.

I'm not a huge fan of time travel stories, they get too "Wibbly Wobbly". This one stayed fairly direct, but there was still a lot of struggle with characters & timelines. I still don't feel like Artemis is as fun of a character as he was when he was younger

This is the story of Artemis Fowl, a 12-year-old criminal mastermind who decides he wants a pile of fairy gold. What is he willing to do to get it?

I truly enjoyed this book. Artemis is a genius, but we also get to watch him grow up (and loosen up) a little as the book progresses. Just when you start to forget that Artemis is only twelve, a scene comes along that shows how vulnerable he still is.

The plot was smart, funny, and well-written. The fairies were not your typical airy fairies. They could kick some serious butt.

I would recommend this to anyone, young or old, who appreciates a good story.

“Artemis Fowl” is a child criminal genius from al long line of criminal masterminds. He has discovered that the Fae do exist and plans on blackmailing them for gold. He has kidnapped Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit. The Fae will do anything to keep their existence secret from the world, even sacrifice one of their own if they must. This is a fun magical adventure for younger readers. It was a bit juvenile for me in parts, but I liked the Fae world. This is the first in a series of books. There is nothing in this book to align with the previews of the Disney movie coming out with the same name.

Hadlock, I am pretty sure the description for he novel you have commented is the premise for The eternity code, book three of the Artemis fowl series.
