Artemis Fowl: The Graphic Novels

review 1: I was not a huge fan of this graphic novel for one reason, if you are going to have the pictures depicting the actions of the story then you do not have to write it out as well. I have read many graphic novels growing up that have done exactly the opposite of what this novel does and enjoyed it much more. I do like the story however, as it reminds me of my childhood when I read these books growing up. Artemis must join forces with the fairies against the goblins if he wants to save his father. Being one of the only humans who knows about such creatures he must rely on those close to him such as his seem to be bodygaurd and his family and friends back home. HE is a wiz kid who doesn't respect anyone (as we see first hand in the book) as he believes he is too smart to r... moreespect others. The illustrations were neat, depicting the story in a sort of "snapshot" action. I would recommend this for 4th or 5th graders as it is a decent read with or without the pictures. I would recommend this for kids interested in the fantasy aspect of reading. It tells the heart warming story of a boy looking for his father, with a bunch of action and fantasy on the side!
review 2: Artemis Fowl # 2: The Arctic Incident Graphic Novel - A great continuation of the first graphic novel *4.35 Stars*See my review for the first in this series: HereThe GushA lot of what I said about the first graphic novel also pertains to this one as well. The adaption from the novel is extremely well done; once again they use case files to fill in the blanks concerning fairy information as well as using thought boxes for both Artemis and Holly. The illustrations are again different from what I normally read but very detailed and beautiful. I feel the growing friendship between Holly and Artemis is better shown here then in the novel between the illustrations and the text. The RantAgain, surprisingly little here. A very competent graphic novel rendition. ConclusionIf you are a fan of the series or if you want to be introduced to Artemis Fowl through graphic novels instead of novels, this is a good book to read. less
