christianoliverio 's review for:
The Artemis Fowl Files
by Eoin Colfer
This book is primarily behind the scenes stuff which explores the "iceberg" of Colfer's world via fun goodies such as a chart which deciphers the Gnomish he has written along the bottom of the Artemis Fowl novels, diagraphs of armor and vehicles, and character interviews which are enjoyable as they are written in character. Commander Root's was particularly enjoyable since hehates people, including his interviewer.
The rest is a pair of short stories set immediately before and after the first novel. We get to see Holly struggling as the first female LEP officer in the first story with Root playing a big part in hindering her efforts (he doesn't like women) and helping defeat the villain, his brother. The second story involves Artemis using Mulch to steal from another group of dwarven thieves. Both feel important, but are not entirely necessary for the rest of the series, although the tale with Root's brother can be useful (spoilers) for when he pops up in the main series.
If you love Artemis Fowl, this is a fine addition to your collection as it has more story content in addition to the supplemental materials. Not much else to say about this one. If you like guidebooks, you'll probably like this one.
