Artemis+Fowl

Reviewed by Robbie Muehlbauer This thrilling book takes place in Chi Minh City during common time. Artemis, a very smart 12 year old kidnapper has a right hand man, his butler, who goes everywhere with Artemis and helps him with whatever bad deeds he needs to get done. Artemis’s crazy mom adds humor to the story. Then, we have the underground LEPrecon squad. They of course are fairies. They are warriors who spy on the humans to learn more about them. Captain Holly Short, the first female recruit of the LEP squad, battles with trolls at the core of planet earth. Captain Root is Holly’s mean boss who often yells at her if she makes the slightest mistake. Then there are the trolls who are very stupid with tiny brains that destroy everything they get their hands on. Artemis borrows the ancient and priceless fairy book and takes pictures of the pages to keep a record of them. He tries to decode it so he can earn lots of money. Wars break out between the humans, trolls and fairies. Artemis and his butler kidnap Holly Short to learn more about fairies and to help Artemis in his evil act of decoding the most valuable book the fairies have I would recommend this book to anyone because it keeps you on the edge of your seat. This book contains no filler; it is full of action and everything you read has to do with the plot.
