Debated between 2 and 3 stars. Good for a children’s book, a unique twist on magical creatures and such in a modern setting, but would sooner recommend a lot of other series. Curious enough that I could see one wanting to keep reading. I think I prefer the classic chapter book edition rather than graphic novel - this art style is not my personal favorite.

I absolutely love these novels and was so excited to return to the world in graphic form. I did greatly enjoy returning and was a nice quick way to remind myself of what happened during the novel but I do feel like a lot was lost in translation. Artemis just didn't seem like the witty, sarcastic boy I remember. Still greatly enjoyed it though.

Hrm, felt as soulless in this manifestation as the prose version.

A really cool & colorful version of the first book in the Artemis Fowl series. Faeries, trolls, gadgets, spies, rich criminal masterminds, what's not to like?

I find it a bit silly to adapt a book into a graphic novel, and I probably only enjoyed it because I'd read the original, but I did enjoy it, and that's what counts.

I loved the first Artemis Fowl, and this was a chance to see the fairies and such in pictures... Very few of them look the way I had imagined (i.e. I think of Mulch Diggums and I think of Morocco Mole), but it was well-done all the same. I think, as the books advance, and get more complicated (Seriously, The Lost Colony was really hard to follow) it'll be even more fun to read these.

adventurous
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

The regular book of Artemis Fowl is really good, but this was (;p) not very good. Maybe it's just my predecided opinion, but i don't think he should have made the graphic novel.
