sienical 's review for:
The Artemis Fowl Files
by Eoin Colfer
This book contains two short stories, one about Holly and one about Mulch. Apart from the stories, there are also a couple of interviews with the main characters, some blueprints of fairy technology and several puzzles. The stories are great, but the puzzles I could have lived without.
The biggest fault this book has is that its contents can also be found elsewhere. In later publications the first story can be found in [b:The Time Paradox|2179276|The Time Paradox (Artemis Fowl, #6)|Eoin Colfer|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1395218526s/2179276.jpg|2184954] and the second story was published on its own as [b:The Seventh Dwarf|904896|The Seventh Dwarf (Artemis Fowl #1.5)|Eoin Colfer|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1327164341s/904896.jpg|890044]. The versions I own of the main series also contain the interviews and the blueprints. The only thing this book has that can't be found in any of the main books, are the puzzles, but they're just simple crosswords and secret codes and don't add a lot of value.
But the stories are great. A lot better than some of the later installments in the series.
