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.

This is half activity book and half short stories. I had actually never read these before, but it was kind of cute going back to when they didn't all work together as a cohesive unit after reading further into the book series. I wish I had read it before the seventh book, but too late now! Still, it was a fun and easy read. I'd give it four stars.
An interesting insight into the Artemis Fowl series. Thanks for writing this short in-between kind of dossier. :-)

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 rest of the book is comprised of "notes" from Artemis Fowl's files on the fairy folk--the fairy code and a key to decode it and interviews with the main charactersare the highlights.
Entertaining.

A cute set of Artemis Fowl short stories and other short segments (like school reports); if you like the series, you'll enjoy the stories, but they are by no means "essential" reading.
3.5 stars.
The Artemis Fowl series has been one of my favorite series for years. This collection of short stories and interviews and notes has been on my shelf for a long time now, but this is the first time that I've read it. I found both stories fun (though Holly's story was the better of the two), but the supplemental content wasn't all that interesting. A few funny things in some of the interviews, but that's about it. The guide to gnomish was neat.
A lot of fun to be back with the cast of characters, but not a necessity to enjoy the Artemis Fowl series.

The Artemis Fowl Files is a pretty good summery of what the Artemis Fowl series is like. Exciting, interesting, very clever but not well put together. Its lacking a final touch of polish.
