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.

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...

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.

Drivel. But fun drivel.
These books are written for middle school boys. Need I say more? Expect flatulence and flat characters. Imagination and International intrigue gives these books fun fast paced reading.

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)

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.

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.

This book series is and will always be my absolute favorite. As a freshman in high school, i enjoyed this book so incredibly much. The way Colfer executes the plot is brilliant, and the age limit is limitless. There are some "big" words used, not crude by any means, but some that younger kids might not recognize. i highly recommend this Entire Series! DIEHARD FOWLFAN

Are you out of your minds?
"Less edgy"? Now you've really lost it. Did you people even read this book? If you did, you say it was epic, not "fun". They described someone getting stabbed with a paragraph in detail!!!! For a site called common sense media, you need some common sense.

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.

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.

cute
i am just 12 and i read this a while ago. it was creative and refreshingly new in its plot and characters. i would say there is really nothing to worry about. i read this when i was about 9 and it was intruiging..although i doubt i spelled that right. heh heh.
