I've been listening to the audio books with my 9 year old son and have to say that I've enjoyed them.

[et.carole · Bewertung: 3 von 5 Sternen]

This was an incredibly entertaining little story. I love the nonstop action Colfer packs into these. Unfortunately, it has so much action that we almost feel as if we skip over the top of the real story hiding underneath- Holly and Artemis almost feel emotion, but then something else terribly dangerous happens. It makes for a wonderful roller coaster ride, but not much to ponder once back on the ground.

The elves are focused on in this book, and Artemis's genius is rather downplayed. I still loved it. The chemistry between the characters was great.

middlegrade children's fairy fantasy/action-adventure fiction (audiobook)
I enjoyed hearing more about Artemis, Holly, Butler, Mulch, Foley, et al. but still tend to zone out just a bit during the fight scenes. Will keep reading!

I love this series. This book in the series started and I was caught off guard, then it got back to the faeries and the LEPrecon and I fell in love with Holly all over again.

READ IN DUTCH

These books are a nice and quick read. Perfect for, for example. a cold winter day when you don't want to go outside and just cuddle up with a book.



I liked this book a bit better than the first one in the series. It's still a children's book, but for me that isn't a real problem every once in a while. I liked the search for Artemis' father, and the faeries of course. I'd planned to continue reading this series, but somehow I forgot about it, as I've never read another book. I guess I'll put them on my list again.

Artimus needs to rescue his father. The LEPReCon unit has been taken out by a traitor. Maybe by working together they can solve both their problems? Spoiler: yes. It's a fun page turning book, where our heros do some clever things to survive, but it's all a bit contrived, and Artimus was just more fun when he was being evil, not nice!

[aarondesk · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

Ok book. The first in the series was better. This one seemed a little disjointed. But it is a fast read.

[tiffanyak_1 · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

There's something about Artemis Fowl. As a character, he is wrapped in so many shades of gray that he makes for a supremely interesting main figure in a series. Yes, it still feels preachy at times, though less so as I make progress in rereading the series, but it is unquestionably a great read for middle-grade readers, and a still-good reread for those of us who grew up with the early books.

[hopeevey · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

Even better than the first volume :)

[benuathanasia · Bewertung: 3 von 5 Sternen]

*yawn* I really don't understand the love for this series. The world-building is weak, the characters aren't interesting, it's littered with cheap fart-jokes. WTF?

[shahnareads · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

I really liked this series. From what I remember.
I need to read it again. It's been so long and there are so many more books in the series.

[hellen0-4 · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

Artemis has changed since the first novel. He’s not so cold anymore and feels a bit guilty about having abducted Holly. We see that he cares about her well-being and is distressed when she’s injured.

Artemis doesn’t want to steal lots of money in this book, but to rescue his father. The man has been kidnapped by the Russian mafia. In order to ensure his father’s safety, the boy even asks the LEP for help.

This novel takes Fowl out of his comfort zone. He’s used to being the mastermind, the brain behind the plan. Now he has to do some physical work if he doesn’t want his father to die. We see a different boy if we compare it to the first book. He has a lot of doubts and questions his abilities to succeed in the field. This is probably what makes his behaviour much more believable.

He grows up a lot here. When first asked by a psychologist if he respects somebody, he doesn’t have an answer. This question is repeated at the very end of the book. This time Artemis has an answer, because he and Holly learned something while working together. Neither of them is as bad as the other thinks and they make a great team. They would be dead if they had been working alone.

The plot of this book is a bit more complex than the plot of the first one. There are two main stories that happen at the same time and sometimes it may seem that both are related.

We know who the mole is from the beginning, but we don’t know exactly what his final goal is. What happened in the first book affected him more than anybody thought. We see how making fun of people and blaming one person for the failure of a plan many agreed on can have very negative consequences. This is an extreme case and this person is hardly good and nice, but the good guys don’t have an exemplary behaviour either. They enjoyed all the comments and jokes.

Like what happened in the first book, good people are not portrayed as perfect heroes.

[cheryl_in_cc_nv · Bewertung: 2 von 5 Sternen]

well, maybe 2.5 stars... It was clever, but I'm just not into plot driven adventures, even if they are aimed at children. I tried it because the ratings for it were higher than they were for the first, but as I was finishing it I realized that it makes logical sense, because the people who read #2 are the people who liked #1! (Iow, those of us who rated #1 lowly didn't assign ratings to #2 because we didn't read it, so we didn't bring the average rating down.) So anyway, I'm pretty sure that now I'm done with the series. I will say that it's well enough done that if you do like it, I totally respect your opinion. :)

This is Book 2 in Colfer's Artemis Fowl series - I read the first one, wasn't all that into it, but sort of wanted to like the series enough that I read this one too. Nope - still wasn't very into it.
In this one, the 13-year-old amoral genius Artemis Fowl gets a little bit less amoral, as he ventures to the radioactive (why?) Arctic to rescue his father, who's been kidnapped by the Russian "Mafiya." At the same time, the LEPrecon headquarters gets taken over by a traitor in their midst, and in order for them to both solve their problems, Artemis and the fairy Holly Short must team together - and even recruit a criminal dwarf to help out.
The book is, I believe, aimed at kids around 10-12 years old. It's a bit too simplistic for me, I can't get into the Fairy Police Force being exactly like a human police force, and the humor is rather crude (lots of fart jokes).
This may be other people's cup of tea... but not really mine.

[carebear36 · Bewertung: 3 von 5 Sternen]

A quick read, full of adventure. The writing is good and I enjoyed the character development, which was lacking in the first book. A great adventure book with lots of creative problem solving. This is a cool series.

[kr_patterson · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

I love Artemis Fowl. I loved that I could listen to this book while in the car with my kids, unlike a lot of other books I've read lately. And, of course, it is very witty, which I always enjoy. What I liked in particular about this book was to see the human/vulnerable side of Artemis exposed.

[destinyisntfree · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

So here we find out villainous little young friend again. He has successfully bargained with the fairies to restore his mother's sanity. Now, as luck would have it, they need him for something so he gets to bargain with them again. It turns out Artemis was right all along and his father is still alive after all!

This is a fun story of adventure and action and thrills and deviousness that will keep any young man on the edge of his seat as he reads it. This is just the type of thing my 10 year old son would love and I, as his mom, am almost fearful to let him read lest he glean ideas from the deviousness contained within it's pages.

The story, however, is well written with vivid imagery and just enough desciptiveness to keep you feeling like you are really living in the world of the story.

This is a fun, quick read that will be a great addition to any library.

[whybehave2002 · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

I really enjoyed this book and highly suggest this series. I'm passing it on to an eight year old friend. ;)

[pussreboots · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

Like the first in the series, it's a good, fun and quick read. I found the internal politics of the fairy world interesting and nicely complex. My only complaint is that this story didn't quite have the same tight pacing as the first.

[tigerlily12-1 · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

Loved the first, might have loved this one even a little more. The character development was fun, and the story is fast-paced and keeps your attention. Definitely check it out if you enjoyed the first in the series.

[deweyever · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

The Second in the series, Artemis Fowl is a little older. In the first book he is more of a villain, within this story he works with the fairies in various adventures and challenges. This book has a mix of fantasy and sci-fi. Some of the scenes felt a little confusing, because the writing felt fast-paced ( as per the action). Colfer did a good job to quickly summarize the former book without a long rehashing for those readers who will read the books quickly and in order. 

[vanyadrum · Bewertung: 5 von 5 Sternen]

This is the second book in the Artemis Fowl series, that I got from Netgalley to review. Here are my thoughts of it:

Another awesome book for readers of all ages. Yes, I mean 7 thru 77. This series is kind of like Harry Potter - it's good for children and adults alike, because it's funny and entertaining, and tells a story of bravery, taking risks, and thinking with your head.

I loved the action packed scenes, as well as those where Artemis's genius came into play. Of course, his plans are always risky, at the very edge of success, but with the help of his fairy friends, everything manages to go smoothly.

My particular interest was spiked when Artemis and Foaly got to talk face to face. Two geniuses in the same room... well let's just say that they got my admiration. And when everyone else just nods around them (as if they understood what was going on between the two)... it was priceless!

The characters:

*Artemis - I love his attitude. He's the boy in control. He's the mastermind, though sometimes his plans get him in more trouble than not. But he's adorable, especially when his true boyish character gets to peak through the mask of the genius.

*Butler - the megaman, whose only care is to keep his boss safe. Sometimes I feel so bad for him, having Artemis as boss could be tiring, and dangerous. But Butler is always prepared.

*Captain Holly Short - She's once again quick witted and ready to plunge into the action with no second thoughts. I love her self-denial, her respect for those who earn her trust, and most of all, I love the way she affects Artemis.

*Commander Julius Root - he's the same quick to anger persona. He made me laugh on more than one occasion. Especially when he clearly doesn't understand something, and just says "I see."

*Foaly - the super techie of the fairy police... what can I say - he's another genius alright. I was kind of disappointed by him though. At least for a little bit. Thought he'd find a way out of the mess from the inside.

A great read that I recommend to book lovers of all age groups.

After last years debacle Artemis Fowl and Captain Holly short find themselves in a position they never thought would be possible. They start working together and adventure is sure to follow!

I was pleasantly surprised by this novel. It was funny, entertaining and it felt a bit more "grown up" from the first one in the series. The adventure was a bit more daring and life threatening and I could not get enough of Butler (by far my favorite character)! Artemis also seems to have grown as a character. He seems to care more and be a little less of a "villain". A change I quite enjoyed.

The world created by Mr. Colfer is rich and detailed, with lots of funny moments. It is also fast paced and action-packed with some crazy situations that the characters find themselves in, and even crazier ways they get themselves out of it.

This novel and the first one is definitely a light read that you can pick up and have fun with. Ideal for those reading slumps when you are not in the mood for something heavy.

[issacdiamond · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

I didn't necessarily like the plot as much I liked the characters. We need more sociopaths in this world. Don't you think?

[shirezu · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

My second foray into the world of Artemis Fowl was another quick, fun adventure. This book is a true sequel to the first with the continuation of the story arc of Artemis' lost father. Once again this ends up involving the fairy world including Artemis and Butler's first trip down below.

Engaging from the first page this book has a great pace that kept me turning (or should I say clicking) through the pages. I like the way that Colfer doesn't talk down to his readers. This is a children's book but is written in a way that would improve a child's knowledge and understanding but will also entertain (and even teach) an adult.

I like what I'm getting from this series and am keen to continue it at some stage. Though I still don't get why he was picked to complete Douglas Adam's legacy...

Review of Artemis Fowl #1&2Artemis is a genius criminal mastermind. The way he talks, it's hard sometimes to tell that he's own twelve. However, there are still signs: his single-minded obsessions to restore the Fowl family’s status, his willingness to believe in faeries, and his devotion towards his mother. With his imagination and genius, Artemis possesses the power to do one thing no Mud Man (human) has ever done before: wrangle faeries into parting with some of their precious gold.His greatest obstacle to achieving his goal comes in the unlikely heroine Captain Holly Short. The first female member of Recon, Holly continuously gets into trouble despite being one of Root's best subordinates. To her dismay, he expects much more of her than other members, though she eventually learns that he means the best. She has a colorful nature and will never fail to amuse readers with her smart aleck comments.I was delighted when the two came to work together in book two. Both characters are brilliant and outstanding in their respective fields, and both have charismatic personalities that command attention from those around them, both in their world and outside (the readers). I enjoyed seeing the two reconciliate with each other (over Artemis's schemes from book one). They are formidable as enemies but even more so when they combine their brains and firepower.Artemis Fowl’s dark brilliance and criminal exploits will leave you hankering for the next installment in the series. With his wit and great sense of humor, Colfer brings to readers of all ages a genius antihero, futuristic technology, mind games, and a bit of magic.

A wonderful sequel to Artemis Fowl, the second in the series. At the beginning of this book, we find that Artemis has been returned to school. He’s been ordered to meet with the school counselor. The thing about Artemis is he knows that no one is smarter than he is and the counselor is just another adult who doesn’t understand him. A call from Butler and an escape from the school, lead Artemis to discover his father’s whereabouts. For the first time in two years, Artemis has a real chance at bringing his father home. The rescue won’t be an easy one but he’s prepared. That is until the fairy people return. Artemis is the only human they know with the resources to open up a human/goblin smuggling ring. They bring him in for questioning. Artemis is innocent and they agree to help him retrieve his father. However, there is a villain amongst the LEP and a plot that will destroy everything. It’s up to Artemis, Butler, Holly Short and Captain Root to save the day. There’s a return of Munch Diggins who has been causing his own ruckus. I don’t want to share too much for those who have not read the first one. I think I like this book better than the first. Artemis is such a complex character and I love that the book is told from all sides at once. It’s not confusing at all and opens up the reader to all the character’s thoughts.

No. 2 in the Artemis Fowl series. Thirteen-year-old Artemis Fowl II has been accused of supplying contraband to a goblin smuggling ring. Artemis and his bodyguard, Butler, help Elfin Captain Holly Short and Commander Julius Root to find and deal with the real criminals who are in the midst of staging an uprising. If successful, the fairies may just help to rescue Artemis' father who is being held hostage by the Russian Mafia. A good read.

This is a really everyday book, nothing special about it and nothing of note. It isn't bad, but it's not phenomenal by any means, either.
