Really fun, sometimes weirder than necessary
This is a fun series of books for just about anybody. It was funny and fun to watch the mastermind kid doing these things that really ticks off the fairies. There is nothing to worry about with violence or anything, I would just recommend a comprehensive reader reading this, but if youre 2 and you read novels theres nothing that should freak you out or anything, theres no blood or intense violence. There are also no flat out shooting scenes, its always creative and unrealistic (unrealistic is good in this case)

This Series Rocks!
They may be about fairies, but they're witty, fun, and action packed! I love the characters, the plots, and the awesome new ideas in each book!

Interesting.
This book adds some new villains, a potential love interest in Minerva, Artemis finally turned good, a new hero, and more action. All in all, a good day's work.

terrific!
this is a great book. parts are really funny (artemis grumbling about 'this blasted puberty'). imp no. 1 is a goos character. (when he finds his nearly limitless vocabulary, he starts chuckling to himself over words he's delighted to find out. 'pink. ooh, what a nice word. bubble! they're so undemonlike!') the way artemis brought holly back to life is a really cool concept. i'm still in shock that artemis gets siblings. wonder how that'll work outif the series continues...

Not the best, but worth reading it **SPOILER WARNING**
This series has never lost it's sense of humor. The violence is, in my opinion, not much to worry about. The only thing that was to different for me was Artemis taking a liking to Minerva. The scene with Holly "dying" was a shocker...but I would've liked it if Artemis hadn't saved her so fast. The author should've left her dead for at least another chapter and then brought her back to life. The ending was too fast-paced. Parents are right to be nervous if they catch their child reading this book. But, Artemis, the criminal mastermind is not so criminal anymore. Just be sure your kid doesn't have the younger, criminal version of Artemis as an idol.

It can't end like this,,,
THis book is so cool! He starts noticing his puberty and I think he likes that other girl genius Minerva. But at the end of the story, he returns from the time tunnel 3 years later and his parents have twins and that sort of ruined the series because he is now 18 and not all too exciting. Eoin Colfer has to have another book to correct this.

must read
this is an awesome book, along with all the others in the Artemis Fowl series. some parts made me kind of mad when my favorite character dies, but Eoin Colfer makes a drastic change for the good with Artemis saving everyone in his own way. the end was a little dissapointing, but it just makes way for another great book in this series.

Still fun, sill exciting.
.7% Action .3% Humor 199% Fun (Out of 200%) Fith in the series, it throws away all that made Artemis seem like Darth Vader. It replaces Darth Vader with someone more noble, while adding more evil or misunderstood characters. Action is still there, Humor is still there. Expect all the awesome things here. Bottom Line: Read, or be.....whatever you are.

sweeeeeeeet
This book is surely my favorite of the series! Artemis has met his match at last with the 12-year-old-college-grad-child-genius Minerva!! No1, an imp who refuses to warp or mature, has escaped to the human dimension, where he is captured by Minerva. Artemis must find out where more demons will pop up. He must fight them before all is lost.

Good, but not as great as the others
Like all of the other books in this series, it was, well...magical (excuse the pun). Although the ending was slightly dissapointing for me, and Minerva wasn't ideal, I still think it was a great book.
