I liked the graphic novel better than the novel, but some of the art was so small and detailed that you had to put the book up in your face to see it. Almost like a cartoon movie, the way it is illustrated. (  ) angellreads | Nov 2, 2009 |  Fans of the Artemis Fowl series will recognize the basic plot of the first novel in this beautifully drawn graphic adaptation. Artemis, a twelve year old criminal mastermind, holds a fairy for ransom in exchange for a pile of LEP gold.

I've been booktalking it ever since then. By far, my favorite graphic novel of 2007 is ARTEMIS FOWL: THE GRAPHIC NOVEL. The story doesn't let up for one moment and the artwork and the quality of the finished book are stunning. This one should be in every single school library from elementary up through high school. (  ) richiespicks | Jun 16, 2009 | I enjoyed reading this, but I prefer the book. The graphic novel gets it right, but only glosses over the story. With the book you can really get your teeth in and explore. The art is nice, but each panel seems to be all one color and my eyes just sort of glossed over the art in favor of the dialogue panels. In short, I recommend the book. The graphic novel is good for a faster refresher course, but not as satisfying. ( ) FFortuna | Jun 14, 2009 | As for it's paralelling the original book, this was good. But there were some things about the art work that I have to disagree with. For one thing, Butler's neck muscles were quite unrealistic. Secondly, Foally was supposed to be a handsome centaur. Why was he blue with a weird nose? My favorite part of the book would have to be the goblins. I didn't picture them as lizards in my mind but that would be cool. And Mulch was...well, Mulch. They depicted him very well- though I expected more of a dwarf or "garden gnome" appearence. (  ) | Mar 6, 2009 | edit | |    no reviews | add a review
