Artemis Fowl Is A Great Place To Get Lost Into Another World
“Artemis Fowl is a great place to get lost into another world” Book Review Contains **SPOILERS.
Artemis Fowl by Eion Colfer is the first in a line of an action-packed, technology-meets-fantasy best-selling children series of books. The protagonist Artemis – a charming twelve-year-old millionaire criminal mastermind – takes on the race of fairies to steal their gold.
Although criminalistic, Artemis’ intentions are to support his family during a stressful time.
His father’s similar unlawful schemes have encouraged a kidnapping that has estranged Artemis’ mother to a downward spiral of mental illness and plummeted the family finances.
Driven by power and money, Artemis is a devious and often cruel antihero, but there’s definitely good in there . . . somewhere.
Here is the story synopsis, and the review continues below it.
From Goodreads.com:
An all-star cast of characters include the massive Eurasian bodyguard, Butler, the dedicated fairy detective, Holly Short, the irate fairy captain, Commander Julius Root, the technological centaur wizard, Foaly, and a charming dwarf thief, Mulch.
Recently, Artemis Fowl was adapted to a movie and released on Disney Plus. If you didn’t enjoy the recent debut, I encourage you to read the novel.
As with most book-to-film adaptations, the book was so much richer.
Furthermore, I whole-heartedly encourage you to read the Artemis Fowl graphic novel, drawn by Andrew Donkin.
Not only a unique rarity amongst book-to-graphic novel adaptations, this particular media allows the reader to see the characters as Eion Colfer envisioned. This adaptation is a fantastic place to step into the Fowl universe.
As for the Fowl series, these nine novels all take on creative challenges and allow Colfer to fully fledge out his characters.
Our irresistible anti-hero begins to thaw that frozen heart and becomes quite the noble hero – one that bridges and protects two divided worlds.
Wit, charm, action, and plot-twists are common themes across volumes.
A hit among children and tweens, these novels often catch the interest and engage older adult fantasy fans – often in the form of parents (but don’t let that stop you).
All in all, Artemis Fowl is an engaging and enjoyable read.
Whether you are a fantasy fiction lover or simply dipping in for the first time, Eion Colfer’s Artemis Fowl – in any format – is a great place to get lost into another world.
