Colfer, Eoin. Artemis Fowl. New York City: Hyperion Books for Children, 2001. 279 pages. (Fantasy Series/Humor) Artemis Fowl- mastermind, genius, millionaire, twelve year old boy.
His mission- to gain back billionaire status.
How- capture a fairy and demand fairy gold before returning the fairy back to its people.
Even this mastermind doesn’t know what he’s dealing with when he captures a fairy. These aren’t your fairy tale fairies,: they’re armed and ready for trouble. You don’t mess with them.
This book is very interesting because its main character is a millionaire criminal. It is a great idea for a story; it’s just not written that well. While I was reading the suspenseful parts, I didn’t feel any suspense. I only knew it was supposed to be suspenseful. There also wasn’t enough detail. In some places it didn’t describe the size of a room and that left me confused (it doesn’t sound confusing but it is, trust me). If the book were written better, I would have loved it because of the great plot, but it just wasn’t that well written.
