Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer, Andrew Donkin
4.0
Brilliant fun
Way back when this book first came out I had several students who raved about the series. I put it on my to read list and never managed to get back around to the series. Too many books and too little time. Fast forward some years and I am finally ready for the series. The first installment is a fantastic opportunity to get to know Artemis. He is a criminal mastermind and only 12 years old. Artemis discovers and decodes a book of fairies, this putting the entire fragile balance between the human world and fairy world at risk. The thing I loved about this book was there was no clear cut enemy. Artemis is an antihero, but the reader can sympathize with him. I'm fact, you find yourself in awe of his genius and brazen ways. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
