A Kid's Review

This review is from: Artemis Fowl: The Criminal Mastermind Collection (Books 1-3) (Paperback)

I've read them all, re-read them all, bought them all, listend to, well, the first three. But soon, all. I realy love this seiries, because it's the only book besides Cornelia Funke's, The Theif Lord, that has the main character as a criminal. I think that's what realy makes it interesting, looking in on the illegitemate side of the corporate world. Even though Artemis is an underage genious, he's not smart enough to compete with the People. Read all his action packed novels, they'll keep you on your toes, and make you read late into the night! Just don't drool, or the pages might stick! ^_~

This review is from: Artemis Fowl: The Criminal Mastermind Collection (Books 1-3) (Paperback)

I read these books just for fun thinking I would finish in a few days and not think about it past that. Well I had another thing coming. I couldn't put the book down once I had started. I missed hours of sleep because of these books. If you want a book that can keep you enraptured for hours read the Artemis Fowl books you won't regret it
