What I love about Artemis Fowl is that, unlike Harry Potter, good things don't just happen to him because he was born special. Things happen his way because he's smart - he thinks ahead and he always out-plans his opponent. And he's just a kid. I've always loved books about an invincible kid hero. (think: Ender) But don't read these books looking for Ender. :-) Artemis is a criminal who makes just enough truly good decisions to keep him interesting all the way through.

Summary: fast paced action, a little humor, the gang is back. Artemis Fowl gets in trouble trying to use fairy technology to land some cash in a scheme that causes all kinds of serious mayhem. He and the fairies have to work together to prevent the clash of worlds.
What I appreciate about Eoin Colfer is that his books don't change from juvenile to adult fiction halfway through the series like some other series out there. My boys have more leisure time and read ahead of me, so with the Arte More...

I was laughing out loud reading this latest installment of the Artemis Fowl series. My favourite character, Mulch Diggums, is now an enforcer of the Chicago Mafia and working as a muscleman for Jon Spiro, the slightly lunatic and unhinged businessman that has ripped off Artemis Fowl by stealing his C Cube computer (made by fairy technology) and ordering Butler to be shot.[return][return]With Butler out of the picture with gunshot wounds, Juliet Butler (Butler's sister) enters the scene as Fowl's

Although I have found the whole Artemis Fowl series quite enjoyable overall, one of the items that always sticks out in these stories is their graphic violence. Having now re-read the first three books, I would say that what bothers me about the violence is most likely the combination of a realistic description of events such as being malled by a Troll or the cutting off of a thumb juxtaposed against the comic-book or movie fantasy of survival--i.e. one can both relish the violence and at the s

this is a really funny passage from this book:
At the moment Pex and Chips were bonding under the full moon while Mulch dug a dwarf size pit in the dry clay behind an abandoned cement factory.
"You wanna guess why they call me Pex?" asked Pex, flexing his chest muscles as a hint.
Chips opened a packet of potato chips he was forever crunching.
"I don't know is it, like, short for something?"
"Like what?"

I really wavered between giving this book four stars, because for some reason, I REALLY liked it a lot more than the other Artemis Fowl books. But I kept it at a humble three stars because, well, the plot wasn't all that meaty. But this was the first Artemis Fowl book that kept me really engaged the whole time -- usually I'd space out during techie scenes and then have trouble finding my way back. Either this book had less of that, or I've gotten used to it enough that it doesn't put m More...

Book three in the Artemis Fowl series delivers just as much action and witticism as its two predecessors. While it seems slightly lacking in fairy involvement, (the only ones here are the now very familiar Foaly, Holly, and Mulch) it makes up for in the further development of Juliet as a character. And it ends on a very appealing ominous note from Artemis which just sets your blood a ragin for the next installment in this series.

This book was another fantastic novel put out by Colfer. It was a great addition to the outstanding Artemis Fowl series. From the beginning it jumps into the action, the shady deal with the American business man Jon Spiro that went wrong. Tragedy befalls the faithfull bodyguard Butler in this one, though. Once again, Artemis and the People must work together to get back the C Cube, a super-computer made from pirated fairy technology. Who knows what Spiro would do to the fairies should Artemi

Okay, I am officially hooked on Artemis Fowl. I've been listening to the audiobook version of this series and they are very well done- some of the only books to hold up to a comparison of Jim Dale's performances in the Harry Potter series of audiobooks. IMO.
I don't think I reviewed the previous 2 books in the series- they are very entertaining but it's really this one that has grabbed me and won't let me go. Artemis is a Irish 12 year old boy who comes from a long line of criminal maste More...

Just as good as Artemis Fowl: The Artic Incident, the level of genuises of Artemis was just more present here. And there were less action though the never-ending plans covered it up. I was happy that Juliet got to be shed some light here. There was also character devlopment, Artemis is more compassionate and sympathetic towards others, especially at the end of the book. So I was happy. Pretty much nothing more to say, plot was okay as well. I liked how in every book there's always something new,

Adventure three in the Artemis Fowl series. (Audio book review)
Is it possible that I enjoy these books more with each installment? I think so, because - for me - I love the characters and each installment seems to focus a little more on the characters, now that the world has been created and the fairy laws don't need constant explanation. Plus, is it possible that Artemis himself is turning into more of a true hero? (Well, will Artemis *ever* be a true hero... that's questionable.. More...

The third installment of Colfer's popular series is much like the previous two: entertaining and action packed but with stereotypical characters and a somewhat contrived plot. I understand it's a kids series and a wildly popular one at that. It also remains appropriate for the same age group as you move through the series, unlike Harry Potter which becomes mush more of a young adult novel around book four or five. But I would still like to see more character development and fewer plot devices

Third in the author’s series and quickly becoming my favorite. In this book Artemis decides that before going straight, he wants to make one last deal. He builds the C Cube only to have it stolen away by a criminal worthy of his own skills. I love the author’s analogy of Artemis’s adult vocabulary making him seem like a vampire out of a movie, I can imagine him being hypnotic. I'm really enjoying the diary entries discussing his feelings and aspirations. However, I really miss Butler at Ar

Another home run for Eoin Colfer. I love these books so much!
Despite the fact that several books come after this one, it feels like a closing chapter to the series.
In this adventure, Artemis and his cronies take on the Chicago mob to take back a piece of technology that puts the fairy race at risk.
