Product Description
From School Library Journal
Grade 5-8–No, this is not a sequel to the previous titles; it's a companion book. It includes two original short stories, one a prequel to Artemis Fowl (the first) about Captain Holly Short and how she became a member of the LEP, and the other a story about Artemis looking for the Fei Fei Tiara (Seventh Dwarf). In it, readers see Mulch working with Artemis for the first time. There are also games; readers can practice fairy code, learn the gnomish alphabet, do a crossword puzzle or a find-a-word (the latter may cause problems in libraries). Finally, they can read interviews with Artemis, Captain Short, Butler, Mulch Diggums, Foaly, Commander Root, and the author. With the write-in caveat in mind, this volume will give all of those Fowler fans something to read while waiting for the next book.–Saleena L. Davidson, South Brunswick Public Library, Monmouth Junction, NJ

This review is from: The Artemis Fowl Files (Hardcover)
For the fans of Artemis Fowl, this book is a must-have. The book features interviews with the major charecters in the book and most importantly has bonus stories associated with the different charecters that every fan wants to know. Definetely a book worth having if you are an Artemis fan.

The Files of Artemis Fowl are GREAT!!!,
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Artemis Fowl Files (Hardcover)
The book might look small (about 200 pages) when you get it but it is a great way to know everything about the Artemis Fowl Series. It has 2 short stories (LEPrecon and The Seventh Dwarf) which are great for reading something that won't take a long time. It has the Gnommish Alphabet and 3 pages to translate from Gnommish to English from the Fairy Book. It also tells you how to spot an elf, dwarves, trolls, goblins, centaurs, sprites, and pixies. Another thing it has are great interviews with many characters and with Eoin Colfer! Lastly, it has many other fun activities which are: Artemis Fowl's School Report, a fairy quiz, it tells you where the fairy transport locations are, some of foaly's cool inventions, and a crossword puzzle and a word search. This is a great guide to know everything about the Fairy world and about the Artemis Fowl Series. I recommend it!!!

A good collection for Fowl fans,
By hiphopgirl_1000 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Artemis Fowl Files (Hardcover)
The book which is only about 200 pages is mostly made up of the two shorts stories. One called 'LEPrecon' - The story of Captain Holly Short's move from Traffic to Recon, and how she became the first female officer to serve under Commander Julius Root and the other is called Seventh Dwarf(which I had already read when it was published earlier, just not in the United States).
LEPrecon was somewhat of a disappointment. The villian, who has a very interesting background, turns out to be flat in the end and the story was just lacking the usual Fowl smartness and edginess. The story is pretty much a prequel that explains the beginning of Holly and Root's relationship. The Seventh Dwarf on the other hand was much better. Mulch Diggins returns as he and Artemis plot to steal a diamond off a word famous tiara. They run into some problems with the LEPcron, namely Holly Short, though trying to steal the tiara from a band of circus dwarfs. This story had the usual Fowl flair and the ending was very interesting. The rest of the book is composed of various sections that include interviews with the main characters of the series, a fairy code to decode, a gnome alphabet, guides on technology, a very interesting report card of Artemis Fowl's, and some puzzles to solve. I found the interviews most entertaining and the puzzles were okay, though some were quite unchallenging. Overall the book is a good one to fill your time while waiting for Artemis Fowl: Opal Deception. |
