A review by sneakacat
Artemis Fowl Collection by Eoin Colfer
3.0
My personal rating is 2 stars; I give 3 stars for the kiddos' sakes.
For the intended audience, I think it's a fairly decent series - a combination of fantasy and sci-fi with imaginative ideas. But it's not very challenging, and the plot becomes repetitive. I actually can't recall what happens from book to book without reading the descriptions because the plots didn't pull me in and I don't care about the characters too much. For kids, okay, but for adults, just read the first one and only continue beyond that if you need light reading where you get distracted often.
