Dit is een leuk boek. Jammer dat de foeilelijke, schreeuwende kaft me er zolang van weerhouden heeft om dit verhaal te gaan lezen. Zonder die glitters zou het een veel mooier boek zijn in mijn ogen. Maar goed, de doelgroep zal het vast geweldig vinden, want mijn kinderen vonden de kaft prachtig.
Hoewel ik me absoluut niet in Artemis Fowl kon inleven , kon ik me wel inleven in de elfse hoofdpersonen en dat redt het boek, smaen met de humor die erin zit. De plot is in mijn ogen vergezocht en er mist een stukje verfijning dat ik bijv. wel vind bij schrijvers als Rowling en Philip Pullman. Maar het is absoluut vermakelijk en meeslepend geschreven. Ik ben dan ook erg benieuwd naar de rest van de serie.

Well written for a series. The characters are fascinating in their depth. Nice investigation of moral ambiguity for pre-teens.
It is no surprise that some of the best writing out there these days are to be found in the children's section! Artemis Fowl is a truly unique character in the fairy tale genre. It is worth a read for anybody with an imagination and a love of great writing!
