1.75 stars. this was surprisingly amusing throughout. i liked how frequently the point of view changes were, so we were always going back and forth and keeping track of all that was happening. i didn't care much about the actual story itself, personally, but i am disinclined to like books about otherworldly creatures. i did like that the humans were generally below all of them in intelligence (except for artemis, of course) and humanity. This book is described on the cover as "James Bond meets Fairies" (or something gimmicky like that), so I was never really interested in reading it. But a mom came into the library the other day and was asking me about it, so I looked it up on Wikipedia and ended up curious enough to give it a whirl. It's definitely not my favorite children's fantasy series, but it's not bad. I got pretty tired of Root's face turning purple, but I was truly charmed by the author's use of flatulence as a weapon.
The truth is, fairies in their essence are said to possess glamour, a word that originally meant something like charm -- the ability to bewitch. Hardware may intrigue, caustic belligerence may be sexy to a contemporary 12-year-old, but neither ingredient bewitches. Despite a brave and promising premise, ''Artemis Fowl'' is charmless. Characterizations and dialogue enhance a rollicking tale that will have readers rolling on the floor and eagerly anticipating the planned sequel Fun to read, full of action and humor, this is recommended for all public libraries and to readers of all ages The combination of choppy sentences and ornate language will appeal to some readers, although not necessarily to Harry Potter fans; the emphasis here is more on action (some of it gory), technology, and deadpan humor than on magic, and only one character (Artemis) is a child. Despite numerous clever gadgets and an innovative take on traditional fairy lore, the author falls short of the bar. Indeholdt iEr genfortalt iHæderspriserDistinctionsNotable Lists
Fantasy. 12-årige Artemis Fowl er superintelligent især hvad angår forbrydelser, og for at forøge familieformuen lægger han en dristig plan om at kidnappe en fe og kræve et ton fe-guld i løsesum. Men alt går ikke helt som ventet. No library descriptions found. |

Interesting enough ideas and Artemis is a different type of character. ( )
