It has been so long since I read the novel that I barely remembered the story before I started to read this. I wasn't impressed with the first Artemis Fowl novel but reading it in graphic novel format seems to have done it a bit of good as I did quite enjoy this version, though I still find the story rather on the mundane side. The end of each chapter finishes with a dossier on a character, event or place which adds a lot of background information in a unique way; I found these entertaining and hope they continue throughout the series. I love the illustrations and seeing the characters coming to life, so to speak. Holly and Butler were done very well but Artemis was not how I envisioned so he had to grow on me through the book. I felt that Artemis was also presented not as mean as he was in the novel. Sure he is shown as self-centred, mean, with no remorse but he's even worse in the novel. My favourite character is Mulch Diggums and I love how he has been brought to the page. A good adaptation of a not so great book that starts off a much better series. ( )

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. ( )

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. ( )

Richie's Picks: ARTEMIS FOWL: THE GRAPHIC NOVEL by Eoin Colfer

Nearly seven years ago, I wrote about how much I loved ARTEMIS FOWL by Eoin Colfer. 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. ( )

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. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0786848812, Hardcover)

In 2001, audiences first met and fell in love with a twelve-year-old criminal mastermind named Artemis Fowl. Since then, the series has sold over seven million copies in the United States alone. Now, this phenomenally successful series is being translated into a graphic novel format. Eoin Colfer has teamed up with established comic writer Andrew Donkin to adapt the text. For the first time, rabid fans will be able to see what Foaly's tin hat looks like; discover just how "Beet" Root got his name; and of course, follow their favorite criminal mastermind as he plots and connives in action-packed, full-color panels.
