Artemis Fowl: A Series Review By Sasha

Anyone ever heard of the book Artemis Fowl? No? Well it isn’t too late to read it, as it is one of the best books I’ve ever read, and even though it has been seven years since its release, it is still available in Emporium’s Kinokuniya, for anyone who’s interested. Anyway, the book is all about a young Irish criminal mastermind named Artemis Fowl. He is desperate for a certain book, and that book turns out to be the fairy People bible. He gets into a whole mess up with the fairies when he kidnaps Captain Holly Short so he can have a large ransom: Fairy Gold. But I won’t ruin the ending for you. You can do that yourself.

Anyway, there are six books in total: Artemis Fowl, Artemis Fowl and the Arctic Incident, Artemis Fowl and the Eternity Code, Artemis Fowl and the Opal Deception, Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony, and Artemis Fowl and the Time Paradox. I would give this series a 10/10, simply because of the mixture of crime, magic, and smarts. This combination gives you a feeling of strange giddiness whenever you read the books in this series. The series’ author is Irishman Author Eoin (pronounced ‘Owen’) Colfer.
