No matter how many times I read this book, I am drawn in by the imagination, the creativity, and the enchantment of the tale of Artemis Fowl. The first in a set of five books, I resisted the lure of a 12-yr-old criminal-mastermind for a while, thinking the book too silly for my age. Now I run to the store the moment a new book in this series appears.
Artemis Fowl has a plan to gain back the money his father lost when he disappeared a year ago. Aided by Butler, his body guard, Artemis devises a plan to steal gold from the fairies. Young enough to still believe in magic, but old enough to construct a devious scheme, few could pull off what Artemis is about to do.
Our fairy heroine, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit, is the test case for allowing female elves to join the Lower Elemental Police recon unit, and she has been having a very bad week. After being attacked by a troll, she attempts to carry out the ritual to recharge her magic, but instead is captured by Artemis and Butler, thus beginning the hostage crisis.
Filled with interesting characters and an excellent usage of magic and technology, Artemis Fowl is a book that readers of any age should enjoy. My favorite part is how Colfer integrates magic and technology, instead of ignoring one in favor of the other, like so many urban fantasy writers do. Instead, Foaly, the centaur super-genius, uses technology to shield magic from human scanners and stay one step ahead of the Mud People.
The book is rich with detail that will keep the reader coming back. It’s been a few years since I last read the book, and I was amazed at how many things I didn’t remember and how I was still enthralled by the action. Even my roommate, who tends to feel that she is above reading “children’s” books, eagerly reads every new Artemis Fowl.
With the release of The Lost Colony, right now is the perfect time to pick up a copy of this classic and reread it. Then continue on to The Artic Incident, The Eternity Code, The Opal Decep

Well, I have to admit that I was one of those people who REFUSED to read this series out of principle. This series had so much buzz around it- girls in their teens through twenties were swooning over a fictional bad boy, going to midnight book releases, dressing as brides and drawing bite marks on their wrists when attending twilight functions. This craze was rivaling Star Wars, and I refused to join in. While away for a four night trip to Canada with a few friends, a friend of mine spent every minute of our time in the hotel glued to this book. After gushing over the characters and describing the premise to me, I was intrigued enough to buy Twilight- in paperback- to read on an upcoming trip to Florida. I started the book the morning of my departure (6pm flight) and got through more than half of it before 1 pm. I made a pit-stop on my way to the airport at the local book store and picked up New Moon. For three days and three nights I was so involved in Twilight and New Moon (yes I even got through half of New Moon while away!) that I barely noticed the scorching sunburn I had acquired! **I have since repurchased the entire series in hardcover so that they would last my reading and re-reading!**
To give everyone an idea of my interests- my favorite shows are Veronica Mars, Roswell, Sex and the City, Buffy (the early years) Entourage, and Friends, and my book favorites are the chick lit of Emily Giffin, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, and The Time Travelers Wife.

The previous reviews pretty much sum up the premise of this book, so I will not get too carried away repeating a synopsis that has been rehashed a thousand times (literally!)
I will leave you with one last thought-
1. Don’t read this book because it’s such a “hit” or the new “craze”.
2. Don’t NOT read thi
