A Review of ARTEMIS FOWL By Raghav Dhupar

Artemis Fowl-Book Review

Excerpts from Artemis Fowl:

1)"Butler dropped the first with a roundhouse punch. Two more had their heads clapped together, cartoon style. The fourth was, to Butler's eternal shame, dispatched with a spinning kick."

2)"'One blue rinse and our losses are minimum.'                                                 Blue rinse was the slang term for the devastating biological bomb used on rare occasions by the force.The clever thing about it was that it destroyed only living tissue.The landscape was unchanged."

I have just begun reading the Artemis Fowl series and it is amazing! The book revolves around mainly two characters-Artemis Fowl, the protagonist and Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon(pronounced-lep-rE-kOn)unit. It involves fairies but not the classic image of them-winged and with wands. Instead, every magical creature is described as a fairy in this book. From goblins to dwarfs to elves.

The story revolves around how Artemis legally(emphasize) steals real gold from the fairies. The fact that he has an IQ of higher than Einstein also helps. Also, he is twelve years of age. His ultimate aim, to restore the family fortune after the (supposed) death of his father.

LEPrecon(Lower Elements Police reconnaissance) is the reconnaissance division of Lower Elements Police. Captain Holly Short, an elf and also the first female to join the reconnaissance division of LEP is the  entity without which Artemis cannot get the gold.

The series has eight parts and me, personally, I am on the second part. I developed interest in the book when I read the graphic novel which  my friend Jash, gave me to read and after that,I wished to read the original. So, here we are.

(Best part-You can get it in our school library!)
