Twelve-year-old villain, Artemis Fowl, is the most ingenious criminal mastermind in history. His bold and daring plan is to hold a leprechaun to ransom. But he's taking on more than he bargained for when he kidnaps Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon (Lower Elements Police Reconnaissance Unit). For a start, leprechaun technology is more advanced than our own. Add to that the fact that Holly is a true heroine and that her senior officer Commander Root will stop at nothing to get her back and you've got the mother of all sieges brewing!

After twelve years of being a pure genius. He perseus the impossible. To conquer the fairie realm. We follow this young criminal mastermind through his adventures. This book was spine tingling. Constant cliff hangers stopped me from putting the book down. But will Artemis Fowl achieve his dreams?

When I picked up this book, it was like picking up any other book. I read through the first few pages and then it started to get interesting. The book is about a child prodigy called Artemis Fowl who dedicates his intellect to criminal activities. Artemis then discovers that there is an underworld where fairies live. These are high-tech, peace-loving fairies who despise the human race because of their pollution.
When Artemis captures Captain Holly Short, a respected officer from the LEP(The police force in the underworld), he doesn't know what he has got him self into. The whole LEP works to counter Artemis' threats for demanding one-tonne of 24 carat gold in exchange for Captain Short.They eventually sent the gold for Holly and blows the Fowl Manor with solinium-24, a radioactive life eliminating substance, but Artemis escapes them again. The LEP got half the gold they sent back when Holly helped cure Artemis' mother.
I would rate this book an excellent, nine out of ten because of its suspenseful chapters and incredible drama. This book is for any advanced reader that will understand the events that unfold before them.

Artemis Fowl is a fantastic book with plenty of action, adventure and comedy. The main plot is a young Irish child genius finds out that humans are the only intelligent beings on earth. Close to the earth's core lies Haven City, one of the only two fairy metropilesses in the world. He also finds out that they have a very large amount of gold. To obtain some of this gold, Artemis kidnaps Captin Holly Short of the Lower Elements Police, (LEP). Artemis thinks he has control over the whole situation. But he is very, very, wrong.
This book is gripping and has you hooked the whole way through. It's the first book of a so-far eight part series, (the eighth book hasn't been released yet). I suggest this book to anyone who enjoys incredible literature.
