Best yet I'd say - By: David C, 03 Sep 2008 
A few people said this was one of Eoin Colfer's "weaker" books, I say they couldn't be more wrong. In my opinion this is by far the best Artemis Fowl so far. Considering I'm not exactly the target audience, at 19 years old, just adds further credit to how riveting, consuming & exhilarating this book is.
It is good that the style is slightly different with morein depth character development. We don't want the first book repeated again butin different words.
Well done Eoin!!
Never even thought... - By: , 27 Aug 2008 
I have read each of the other Artemis Fowl books at least twice. But never once did I predict anything that happenedin this book. It is brilliantly written & I read itin less than half a day, THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ!
not the best fowl book - By: M. Patel, 25 Aug 2008 
The book is no way as good as the first three & I don't like the reformed Artemis Fowl too much either. The character is a lot better off bad (or at least as bad as he wasin the Eternity Code) because this made him a lot more exciting & original. I think this was probably Colfer's worst Fowl book.
Decent book, probably Colfer's weakest effort though. - By: Guest Reviewer, 20 Aug 2008 
Sure the summary sounds pretty interesting but the execution is, allin all, pretty weak. Two things bother me especially;
Artemis is just not that smart. In the other books he was obviously & ridiculously brilliant, butin this one he merely seems like an intelligent 16 year old - just so the opposition seems credibly formidable. Basically Artemis was jobbing.
It seems to me to be a very lazy book; as if Colfer needed to write another AF novel but he wasn't quite sure how to do it. Or maybe he just wasn't struck with inspiration this time. Either way it felt like a rehash, or half assed.
Still there where plenty of jokes, the dialogue was full of pretty brilliant humour, & it was jam packed full of the usual AF mayhem.
Overall verdict; worth reading but its probably best to get it from the library.
Artemis Fowl- Another Great bok By Eoin - By: M. Warren, 18 Aug 2008 
this book was just as good as any of the previous editions. As the reader you get a sense of Artemis becoming a better person & it is a fabulous read, i strongly advise purshasing this book its well worth it!
