Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer, Andrew Donkin
5.0
Note: This review is from 2008.
Most of you reading these reviews already know the basic plot of Artemis Fowl. Artemis Fowl, a twelve year old criminal generous kidnaps a fairy named Holly Short. These fairies are armed with highly advanced guns which brings some science fiction elements into the plot. I found this book to be an interesting and original read. I even read it to my nine and twelve year old brothers. Some people worry about their children reading this book because Artemis is a criminal. It didn’t bother me that Artemis was a villain with a little good in him because he wasn’t portrayed as the hero.(He does become the hero in the latter books.)
I believe girls and boys will enjoy this book. Holly Short is a heroine girls will enjoy and there are enough guns and action too keep the boys happy.
There are a few bad words in the series (They are the reason I only gave the book four stars) but if you let your kids watch PG movies, you shouldn’t have any problems with this book.
