The Best Artemis Fowl Book, By Far
5By Frustrated 4 yr oldI really enjoyed this one AF book, it had lots of plot twists & turns. Opal seemed to express her psycho side truly, which gave the character a bit more depth. Also, adding in some cute Holly & Artemis moments pretty much sealed it. I liked how Mulch befriended the lemur Jayjay, and pretended how he was like a real faerie / Mud Person. I liked how they mentioned the bit with Myles & Beckett, where Artemis was telling the story to them at the end of the book. (I wish Holly was there to see that..) Anyway, thanks so much for this book, Eoin. This was an amazing book to read, and I’m about to beat up my classmate because he’s hoarding the 7th. Dang it, Sam.My favorite so far
5By livpotatocatThis book is my favorite so far(I’m on the 7th book). It’s really funny, and has a lot of depth. I love the series, and this installation exceeds expectations. 😉👍🏻💜Must Read
5By jeranovaThis is a must read. Full of action, adventure, and mystery. This book definitely made my top ten.Agenda alert
5By LaffaminnitThe Artemis Fowl series is one of my favorites, and as a hopeless book addict, I should know! But it kind of rubs me the wrong way how the author projects his views and opinions onto his character in this book. Artemis is supposed to be logical, right? Isn't it incongruous for him to subscribe blindly to flawed and incomplete theories regarding the environment, global warming, evolution, and so on? Aside from that, I think Artemis is a fantastic and well-developed character.Good Fun Reading!
4By JAM365I do love this Artemis Fowl series and this book is my 2nd favorite out of the series! I love the confusion and the theories and other unknowns about time travel and the author's take on time travel through the world of Artemis Fowl.Best of Artemis Fowl
5By karan301Probably my favorite title in an outstanding Book Series.So good
5By Team KatnissI love Artemis Fowl, and this is my favorite book.AMAZING
5By Buuubbleddthis is one of the best books i have read in a long time and most definately my favorite artemis fowl book in the series....well i like them all but this is a highlight. the plot might get confusing at times but overall the way the story is intertwined and connected all throughout makes a great read. i also love the way Eoin Colfer develops the characters, you get a chance to see them all in a new light. OVERALL its a great book and surely a MUST READ. :)Same old
1By /&:$736:?.)This book was very disappointing. The same story is being repeated and dragged on. There was something of an unjustifiable suspense lacking in cohesive narrative that just took the fun out of it. Everything prior to this was a 5/5willbethereoneday
5By willbethereonedayA great addition. Though it is not the best book in the series, it is my personal favorite. Opal Koboi's "return" annoys me, but I love the plot twists and how everytime you think it will end, something new happens!Awesome
5By Antoine-578One of the best books I have ever read and so far one of my favorites, though I am disapointed by the lack of the return of minerva from the 5th book, I was expecting her to have a part in this book but this is great anyway. I would definitely recommend.I love these books!
5By EspiralaI love the Artemis Fowl books because they are never boring and always have something new. This book is no acceptation! A must buy!Awesome!
5By KayMiMoHonestly great and stayed true to the other books! Can't wait to read the 7th book. I highly recommend!!!!!! Note: do not read if your have not read the previous books.Best Book Ever
5By WebkinzTMANThis was the second Artemis Fowl book I read. It was the BEST BOOK I READ IN A LONG TIME!Amazing
5By Cutie177866871538976286723A gripping read. Nobody does it better than Artemis Fowl!AF Fans: Read the Review!
5By Peacocks...?I absolutely loved this book! It was the best one yet! I have gone cover to cover with it three times already. What he did for his mum was just heart-breaking! And he steeled through it all- while facing a giant gorilla that nearly killed him (but, thanks to someone, didn't), electric wires that are going to kill him, going to desperate measures to save his best friend, having to watch while a leech was purposely put on his arm, and countless others. He nearly died an infinite amount of times, but did it make the book cheesy? No. It made it my favorite book yet!Awsome!
5By timberwolf05Best book in the series! Luv it!A disgrace to the name of Artemis Fowl
1By Mithrandir1This is not only the worst book in the Artemis Fowl series, it is one of the worst books I have ever read. The pacing is incredibly skewed, the plot seems patched together, and the book succeeds in creating what it tries so hard not to create: a time paradox. The characters all have different personalities than in the previous books, and the villain (who all you AF fans should know the name of by now) seems to have been put into the book just for the sake of appearing in every other book. My advice: stop at The Lost Colony.
