A companion book to the Artemis Fowl series.
The book contains two short stories: "LEPrecon" describes Holly's initiation from Traffic duty to Recon. "Seventh Dwarf" follows Mulch Diggums, my favorite Artemis Fowl character, as he and Artemis team up to steal a famous tiara.

The Artemis Fowl Files
This book was very interesting to say the least, I was a bit skeptical in the beginning. Mainly because I’m not a big fan of books that have fairies and magic in it, but this book changed my view on that opinion.
What kept me reading this book was that I was always wondering what was going to happen next. The story kept me on my toes from the very start; you never knew what was going to happen. The plot of the story probably wasn’t the greatest because it was v...more

I recently had the honor of reading “The Artemis Fowl Files”. It was amazing and descriptive! The Artemis fowl files, which was written by Eoin Colfer, took place mostly every where. This book is action packed and still lies a mystery even I can’t figure out. Any ways , this book was mainly about children trying to figure out about ancient cultures which still were not reveled. I think this was mostly to do with the captains and commander. The main characters were Holly and Root. This book is a...more
As an avid Artemisian it's hard to believe that I hadn't read this yet. It was quite interesting, too - I think I liked the first story more than the second but the history side of things is often underplayed in the main sequence so worked well here.
This sort of tie-in gets lost when you listen to audio books; a real shame as Nathaniel Parker (who narrates the unabridged novels) does so with such aplomb. It would have been nice if LEPrecon had been included as an audio b...more

This was a great book beacause it had two great sub-stories. I think that Eion colfer wrote these well, and the 7th dwarf was so sweet, Artemis giving the diamond the his mother like that. There were some problems though. In the artic acident, it said that it was artemis's first time yet in the seventh dwarf (which was suppossed to have happen before that artic accident). I really enjoyed the explaination on Foaly's inventions, though it would have been nice to have know more about foaly's inven...more

Not really sure how to review this book. It has two short stories in it – that sandwich some other pap, which are character profiles and interviews with characters. I’d seen mention to the second story – the eight dwarf – on a website which made me aware of the book.
I must say that while I’m writing this – I have no recollection what the first story was about – which either sums up my memory or shows that the story wasn’t particularly memorable.

This was a really cool book to read if you are an Artemis Fowl fan. It contains a few short stories which lend a background understanding to some of the characters and an AMAZING key to the Fairy Language. I immediately used it to read the inscriptions on the bottom of each of the books

Basically the official Fowl field guide, The Artemis Fowl Files is a must-read for any Artemis fan. Not only including bonus material, it contains two short stories. The first story is about Corporal Short's raise to Captain, the second is an operation involving a Fei Fei tiara, seven drawfs, and a criminal boy genius, plus the back-up of billions of dollars worth in fairy technology!
Bonus material includes a fairy field guide, character interviews, Artemis' report card, a Gnommish transla...more

This was a book that I liked on my first reading, but loathed very certainly upon my second or third. The two-year gap might explain a bit. The two-star rating, instead of a one, is mainly because the stories included are very good. I find no flaws with them, and I've picked up the book to re-read them several times. But the trivia questions, extras, and basically everything else, are annoying and badly written.

A fun little book, written between The Eternity Code and The Opal Deception, it explains all about the Elves, includes interviews with the key players, and especially nice, gives the key to the elvish alphabet so you can decode all the elvish writing on the pages of the Artemis Fowl books. Several short stories are included. We find out how Holly got her acorns, and have a bit of fun with Mulch Diggums.
I loved this book! It was better than that time traveling one. Way better! Well any ways this book is really good because it has the most action and all that cool stuff in it. When Holly saved the day from the rogue fairy, which was the most awesome part of the book. When I saw this book I said to myself that this would be a good book and I was right. There was a whole lot more than the other books all packed into this one book separated into three pieces. I really liked the middle of the book w...more
I think this book was a good one because this book was about all kinds of action and fairy tales this book was great about many other things like how the monsters and other fairy tales charaters were in the in hole story all of the monsters are after a code to unlock something like a door way or something else like other monsters and other fairy tales.
It was wonderful to get some of the back story behind Holly and Julius' encounter with Turnball as well as Artemis' shenanigans with Mulch after the whole fairy gold incident. There were other interesting profiles in there too, and I liked the part with the interviews with the main characters. I liked getting the stories not "officially" told :)

I didn't like it much because of the "Seventh Dwarf". The stories in it are quite good. But Eoin Colfer missed a spot. The Seventh Dwarf takes place between the Artic Incident and the first book. And yet, the dialogue in the Artic Incident clashes with what is written in the Artemis Fowl files, and basically ruined it for me.
It won't be interesting if you aren't an Artemis Fowl fan, but I quite enjoyed it (since Artemis Fowl, Butler, Holly Short and Mulch Diggums are some of my favorite characters of all time). It is the first Artemis Fowl book that I read rather than listened to, and I find I like him in writing just as much as audio book.
Gee, this might sound creepy... I can read Gnommish now! This book has a code in it for the bottoms and/or covers of the rest of the books that are written in the Fairy language. "Carry me always carry me well. I am thy teacher of herb and spell. I am thy link to power arcane. Forget me and thy magick shall wane." :P
The two little stories in the book were cute. I like Holly's back story best. It's just good to know how she became the first female to get in and all that.
There were some great activities in there for kids and it even has the first alphabet in there for those who didn't work it out when reading the first book.

Nice companion book for Artemis Fowl's series, while we waiting impatiently for the final book, Book 8 (Last Guardian) next year. It contains 2 short stories and tidbits on AF series main characters. I never can get enough of this series, too bad it will end soon :')
Nothing that I hadn't decoded before (specifically talking about the Gnomish alphabets).
It is not updated (as in with the latest novel - the Atlantis Complex) and I say this isn't really a required reading if you're a fan of the Fowl series. Just leaf through it.

I really enjoyed this book. The middle information was cute, I didn't really pay to much attention to it but the two short stories really caught my attention. They really added to the plot and story of the Artemis Fowl series and I loved the suspense and surprises they carried. The epilogue of "The Seventh Dwarf" was just cherry on the cake.
i loved this book. The Artemis fowl files was one of the best books I have read. The book was about how Holly Short was a corporal and she was trying to become a recon until these one Elvs kidnapped her and others who were going to the test to see if she had what it takes to be a recon. But then they said if you try to run away we will hurt and maybe kill one of your friends. The only way Holly and her friends were going to escape is if her boss gave them a ton of 24 carat gold jewlery.
2 short stories: LEPrecon and The Seventh Dwarf, one about Holly becoming the first female in Recon and one about Mulch Diggums working with Artemis. In between the 2 stories are some interviews and diagrams.
this is a good book that can help you understand the Artemis Fowl series a little better. it is also cool to take a look at because it explains some of the things in the series a little better
This was a great book, but the activities in it were WAY easy and the extra stories weren't all that interesting to me. Good thing was that I learned a new language!
This contained some fun background stories on characters we know.
The backstory was conveyed in an excellent story format, both entertaining and interesting.

I learned nothing really new from this book, except the wonderful fact that I can finally read Gnommish. Quite a disappointment, actually. :(
This is kind of a fun guide to the series--you need to have read at least the first book in the series before this one will make any sense.
