Artemis Fowl

I am enjoying Artemis Fowl because it is action, adventure, fantasy, mystery and a little bit of violence. The fairies and magic aren't real so there's the fantasy. A dwarf shot fire up a gobblin's nose, there's the violence. The action is guns shooting and punch fights. I think that this book is right for me and would be good for other people that are somewhat like me. 


This book is about a boy, Artemis Fowl and his bodyguard, Butler. They try to steal the most valuable treasure known to man, the timeless treasure of the fairies. Artemis Fowl is only 12 but is still a genius and a criminal mastermind.

I sort of relate to Artemis Fowl because we are both sly and smart, although he is about 5 or 6 times smarter than I am and 9 or 10 times more sly. Butler and I are not the same at all. First, he's huge and I'm small. Second, compared to him I'm dumb. And third, he calls someone a lot younger than him master.

I've got to say this has been one of the best books I've read in a long time, it has stolen my attention. Because you never know what's going to happen next. With most of the books I read I think "this book is so boring". But with this book I'm actually excited to read it and I wish it just kept on going and going without an ending point. I think that this is a great book and other people should start reading it.

  1. There are some things you've written here that intrigue me. You've done a fine job comparing yourself to Artemis, but I'm dying to know what it is that makes you nine to ten times more sly than him. Leaving your reader hanging there, just waiting for more information, is so unfair! By the same light, I'm interested in knowing why you think that you're dumb, compared to him.

    Does anyone else out there agree with me?
