Never had The Artemis Fowl Files on my radar until recently and I'm not even disappointed that I read it. I just feel like sometimes novellas really work for a book, and other times they don't. That being said - it worked for here and this series.
It was definitely a quick read and it had a couple of fun stories. Definitely liked getting to know Holly a bit more and she's possibly becoming my favorite character out of the series. Now I'm ready to dive into the next book just to figure out what's going on with Artemis and his family.

I really enjoyed the two short stories included in this book. The interviews were fun. The puzzles etc, didn't quite grab my interest.

Actual rating is 3.5.
I would highly recommend reading this book after reading [b:Artemis Fowl|249747|Artemis Fowl (Artemis Fowl, #1)|Eoin Colfer|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327945104s/249747.jpg|1334778] and [b:The Arctic Incident|114955|The Arctic Incident (Artemis Fowl, #2)|Eoin Colfer|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388294381s/114955.jpg|508999] because there are massive spoilers for both of those books in this one. It's not necessary to read this book to understand the others, but it's good for clarification and information if you're curious or the type of fan who has to know the details or enjoys the details.
The reading level is definitely middle-school level, and this book only has two stories: LEPrecon (which gives the backstory to how Holly got into the LEP) and The Seventh Dwarf (a short story where Mulch Diggums and Artemis are partners in crime). Everything else in the book is background on the People, their technology, transport locations, the Gnommish Alphabet, and the Fairy Code (this does not include the coded fairy text on the bottom of the book pages). There's also a copy of Artemis's report card (comedic gold) and interviews with all of the major players from [b:Artemis Fowl|249747|Artemis Fowl (Artemis Fowl, #1)|Eoin Colfer|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327945104s/249747.jpg|1334778] and Eoin Colfer.

I thought the interviews and faerie descriptions were a little contrived, but the short stories themselves were wonderful! How else would Holly earn a spot in LEPrecon without breaking a few rules as she always does? How else would Mulch and Artemis grow to be friends if they weren't pulling off a few heists behind the backs of the LEP?

I really enjoyed reading this book containing supplemental content geared towards Artemis Fowl fans. I skipped over the interviews but really enjoyed the short stories containing LEPrecon and The Seventh Dwarf.
LEPrecon essentially tells the story of Holly Short’s promotion/initiation into recon on the Lower Elements Police.
