Reading level: Ages 9 and up
Hardcover: 277 pages
Publisher: Disney-Hyperion (May 6, 2002)
Buy the Book: Amazon
Artemis is at boarding school in Ireland when he suddenly receives an urgent video e-mail from Russia. In it is a plea from his father, who has been kidnapped by the Russian Mafiya. As Artemis rushes to his rescue, he is stopped by Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon fairy police. But this time, instead of battling the fairies, he is going to have to join forces with them if he wants to save one of the few people in the world he loves.

Favorite Character and why?
My favorite character is Artemis Fowl ||. It's not because he's the main character, I avoid liking people because they're the main character, it's because he's a genius, he's super cute, and he just screams awesomeness.

Characters?
All the characters where so different you would have thought different people had made them. Like Julias Root is hot headed while Holly Short is cool and a load of trouble, Butler is anxious and a fighter while Artemis is a genius and not very athletic (To put it nicely)


The Plot?
The plot was a double. Saving Artemis Fowl, and dealing with Opal Koboi so it's really cool

The Setting?
The setting was amazing and well thought out. I enjoyed imagining myself right next to Artemis Fowl with a clear vision of where I was

Romance?
None. Not what so ever. Artemis has no time for that, Holly thinks all males are stupid, Julias is like a father is all the elves in the LEP, Butler is to busy with Artemis to find a girlfriend  and Juliet ist in this book very much.

Action?
YES! There is loads of action. Fighting scenes are awesome. They're not too detailed but just enough that you can invision yourself in the scene.

Recommendation?
I would recommend it to anyone who likes middle grade books full of action, and faeries.


The Audio Reader?
I thought the reader was awesome. He did really good Irish accents and did it all very well, with different voices for all the characters.

Overall?
I LOVE this book and that I'm constantly going back and forth from the library to get the next one.

Finally, My Thoughts on Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

  Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins Audio  So, I was going through my old posts, looking for something to post today, and came across this.  I guess I never posted it, because I was just so angry and disappointed.  Plus, I think I had talked so much about it, that I was sick of talking about it.  And also, I feel like there were so many things that bothered me that I couldn't get it all down.  But, I thought it might be fun to post this, and see if anyone is interested in it.  So, here are my bitter and resentful thoughts on Mockingjay! :P 8-30-2010 *spoilers galore* After reading Mockingjay all day on Tuesday, I left Wednesday morning to go on vacation for my anniversary.  All I could think about was Mockingjay.  You might think that's a good sign, like it was so well done that I couldn't forget about it.  But, for me, it wasn't.  I was so disappointed in this book.  Honestly, if I hadn't loved the first two books so much, I pr...
