This is the graphic novel adaption of the second (and my least favorite) book in the Artemis Fowl series. I haven't read the series in a while, so the book was a pleasant reminder of one of my favorite middle-school series. The images are full-color, beautiful, and almost 3D, but sometimes they bothered me. For example, Holly's haircut and LARGE ears have bothered me in both graphic novels so far. Also, Opal's appearance was rather different that I had pictured. Fans of the series will enjoy seeing their favorite scenes drawn out, and hopefully new fans will get to enjoy the story. Sadly, I cannot provide a front-flap or back cover summary because I had to return the book to the library.

Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident (Graphic novel #2).
Artemis and Holly are back together again, this time on the same side. Artemis agrees to help the LEP discover who is trading with the goblins, but only if they agree to help him rescue his father, who is being held for ransom by the Russian mafia.
Artemis' adventures transfer very well to the graphic format. Can't wait for #3!

I read Artemis Fowl well over 10 years ago and picked up a Graphic Novel a few weeks ago, OMG still as good as I remember. I do want the novels again though.

I love the story, but I really don’t like the strange artwork.

Geniale, ma questi disegni.. Non so, mi hanno trasmesso un po' di tristezza ;_;
L'opera sembra essere troppo cupa!

I read the novel and the graphic novel back to back to see how they compare, and more importantly, to see if I could just read the graphic novels instead of the novel so that I can catch up to my book club kids. I think that I can… The plot was complete, and I still chuckled at the humor even with so much text eliminated. Important details were added in clever ways, and I actually enjoyed seeing some of the complex battle scenes instead of reading about them because sometimes very technology is hard to visualize. Other reviewers say that the graphic novel has terrible illustrations and relies too much on text… This may be the reason why I like it more than any other graphic novel! There is a good amount of text. Anyway, I was going to just read the next book, paternity code, and graphic novel format only, but when I opened up the first page of the full novel, I realized I have to read it instead. Both have their merits, and both are enjoyable, but I really just love the writing of the traditional novel versions.

This was pleasant enough, and notably accurate with the book's author doing the writing. Can't say I particularly enjoyed the art, however.
