__Artemis Fowl__ (1st book of the series "__Artemis Fowl__")
 * Title of Book:**

Eoin Colfer
 * Author:**

Because I saw last year (2006-2007), that lots of people were reading the book. I wanted to read it, but I didn't spoke english good enough at that time. Then, this year I saw it in the library, and I started reading it.
 * Why did you choose this book?:**

A Fantasy/Science-fiction book about fairies underground hiding from the violent humans (Yep, I assure you we are violent, mean and selfish!).... But a young criminal mastermind (12 years old), Artemis Fowl, finds about them, and captures Captain Holly Short, a fairy from the LEP (Lower Element Police). He asks a ransom to the fairies underground for the cpatain, as he wants to restore the "billardaire" status of his fammily.
 * Theme (Main Idea of the Book):**

The time is around our time (2005/2008), and the place is at the Fowl Manor, Artemis Fowl's house.
 * Setting (Time and Place):**

The fairies try to recover Holly Short, then Butler (Artemis Fowl's bodyguard, even tough they have a relation more like friend to friend.) beats them, then they try the time stop on the fowl manor, which makes a place where time doesn't affects it. They make a bargain with Artemis: 24-carat pure gold for Holly. They tell him that abyway, they will take the gold back by killing them with a bio-bomb. Artemis says he doesn't care, as he can escape the time field. The bargain is made after an incident with a troll. Then Artemis escapes the time-field with Juliet, Butler's sister, Butler, Artemis, and Artenmis's mom. The rules of the book (the Fairies's bible) states that if Artemis survived that, the gold is his to keep.
 * Plot (What Happens):**

Artemis Fowl is my favorite charachter in the book, and he is the main one. He is close to my age (12), but he is really smart. He is wearing smart suits, black ones. He wears a tie, and he is skinny and pale.He is mean
 * Fictional books always have main characters. Describe one main character in this book in detail. How did he/she look? What** **age was he/she? What was his/her personality like? What was the importance of this character to the story? Did you like this character? Why or Why not?**

First, there is the introduction of the charachters, then the book stealing by Artemis, then the big fights of butler, then holly gets away, then Artemis and his friends gte tghe monney they want, and escape the time-field...
 * Main Events:**

Artemis wants the gold from the fairies, but they will do anything to keep it!
 * Problem/Conflict:**

**How did the story make you feel?** It make me feel that wathever happens in our life, we always have to get challenged.

I didn't learn anything or I did learn that you always get challenged somehow.
 * What new things did you learn from this book?**

Yes, I would because it's Science Fiction and Fantasy both, and it's rare to find a good book like that.
 * Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?**

Artemis Fowl is a great book that every fan of Fiction would like, and that every fan of Fiction shopuld get! But those who are into non-fiction won't like it that much. But it's still a great book of action/adventure.
 * Conclusion :  **
