I didn't expect to like this book. Artemis Fowl came to my attention during a time when a lot of other teen or young adult novels were becoming wildly popular, and they all seemed too alike for my taste. However, I like the dark side of young Master Fowl. I like the strange way the character sucks you in to the story, despite the fact that he really is the bad guy of the tale. This story centers around a brilliant 12 year old boy who masterminds a plan to rob fairies of their gold. It's like nothing you've ever read before, even if you consider yourself to be an expert on fairies or teen novels. This one is dark, interesting, and yet amazingly addictive. I, for one, will be searching for the next in the series. Five stars and a wink for the twist I spent the entire book trying to figure out. Do yourself a favor, and check out this fast read.

Reread as the movie is in pre-production. Still epically awesome and incredibly imaginative.

A fun and smart YA fantasy novel that aged perfectly from when I first read it - truly a wonderful novel

I love children’s books. I always will, no matter how old I am. 
I loved the witty banter, the no clear-cut right and wrong side, and the careful yet intricate world-building that’s perfect for a children’s story. The physics/magic around the time-stop didn’t really make sense to me but maybe that’s just me hahaha. Can’t wait to see where the rest of the story goes <3
