A review by thestylishreader
Artemis Fowl: The Graphic Novel by Eoin Colfer

2.0

My review in one word: Meh.

The story is still enjoyable, albeit somewhat shortened. But you can get the good story with the book itself, with the added bonus of being able to visualize the characters and settings in a much more appealing manner in your head. That's why this is 2 stars. The artwork is boring at best, and ugly at worst. For example, Butler's proportions are incredibly off-putting from everything around him, Foaly barely even looks like a centaur, etc etc. I really can't recommend this to anyone, unless you're absolutely a hardcore fan of the series and just want to see a graphic adaption of it. It's NOT a good introduction to the franchise if you have no background knowledge. If that's you, just read the book...
