I recently read this again, at least half a decade (or more) since reading it the first time. When I first read this book, I loved it and read it really quickly. It was truly worth a five star rating, when I added it to my Goodreads list.Upon my recent read of the novel, I am still impressed by the ...

Simple and interesting. I liked that the intricacies of this fantasy world wasn't explained so heavily that it bogged the story down. There were some elements that seemed foolish, like nonsensical magical rules for the sake of having rules, but I guess the story was good enough to compensate. I thin...

Artemis Fowl was a hard book for me to get through. I had trouble connecting to any of the characters, and I found the story to be a little boring. It was one of those books where I found anything that could distract me from reading to do just that. I also found myself skimming through a lot just to...

Ya lo había leído hace tiempo, después lo volví a leer, leí el comic, y ahora otra vez!No es que sea fanático. Y a pesar de lo básico que es el libro, establece desde el principio las reglas base de su fantasía y su mundo, y las sigue de manera consecuente. Y eso lo valoro mucho más que una tremenda...

While this story was well written and fanciful, both things I adore, it never really clicked with me. Artemis kind of came off as a little creep, but I found Root, Holly and Butler entertaining but I couldn't really get behind and cheer for any of them. In fact I almost DNF'd the book several times ...

I think you have to be a boy in the age of 9-12 to really appreciate this book and it's humor, or at least I think so, I may be wrong.I won't say that this book is all bad, it's just... weak.The characters have their fun moments, but are not worked enough upon, they are quite flat.Another problem I ...

This is another case of "got good within the last 50 pages". I honestly should make that a shelf since I come across it so much. I wanted to like this book. It's about a genius kid and I love smart kids. There are also fairies, goblins, dwarfs and it's told in a cute narrative. Buuuuuutttt, I found ...

This is a review of the audio book. Read the full review here on TotalTeenFiction!Audio review: I first read this book as a kid and I have only fond memories of this and the other books I read from the series, but I was a little rusty on the book after so long! When I saw my library had the e-book a...

Artemis is clever, very clever. He wants fairy gold. And he has a plan to get it. The fairies are rather smart, too. They want to keep their gold. They will do everything they can to stop Artemis.You will love this story of Artemis vs. the fairies. You can't help but simultaneously like and laugh at...

This book wasn't what I was expecting. It was fun to read Colfer's take on the fey world, and I liked Holly's character a lot. Artemis was a little hard for me to warm up to, but I've heard he gets better as the series continues. At first I thought this was a middle grade book since Artemis is so yo...
