Artemis Fowl combines the astuteness of Sherlock Holmes with the sang-froid of James Bond and the attitude of Attila the Hun. But even Artemis doesnt know what hes taken on when he kidnaps a fairy, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit. These arent the fairies of bedtime stories. These fairies are armed, and theyre dangerous. Artemis thinks hes got them just where he wants them, but then they stop playing by the rules

Summary: Great for kids, really fun for you.
Comment: "Artemis Fowl" by Eoin Colfer is a great book to read to your kids while having a great time yourself.
This is a story of a young boy who is beyond a mischievous young imp sbut not quite a diabolical genius. He is constantly looking for a way to reprise his once-prominent family's name and in this instance he has discovered an underground world populated with faries, Dwarfs, Goblins and other assorted, magical life-forms. When he decides to kidnap one of the Faries, (who happens to be a police officer for a force called LEPrecon) Artemis clearly underestimates the power of the magical underworld.
Enjoy this book with the entire family.

Summary: Not only for Young Adults
Comment: I'm a 62 year-old grandmother and purchased this book for my teenage grandkids. Ended up reading the book myself and loved it. I don't usually read science fiction or fantasy books. However, this book was so well written with a good plot and interesting characters -- that I would recommend it to adults of all ages.

Summary: This is the first and still the best
Comment: As I've mentioned in other reviews, I bought this for my kids and picked it up not to set it down. A former avid sci-fi reader, I really like the whole new concept. Brilliant. The characters are done so well.

Summary: Nice mix of technology, modern day life and fantasy
Comment: Artemis Fowl is a delightful mix of an extraordinary child mingled with technology, modern day living, and a fantastic universe of capable fairies. I was dubious when my brother in law first suggested the series, but have really enjoyed every book published to date. This is my favorite in the series, but only by a small margin. The exploits of a genius, his body guard in a magical setting is a wonderful flight on the wings of imagination.
