Artemis goes on to rescue his father from the Russian mafia in the second book ( Artemis Fowl and the Arctic Incident) and ends up in an alliance with the fairies he battled originally to help them defeat a goblin army. It's fiction, so he naturally succeeds, plus his mother is cured of her madness. They stumble across a portal to the fairy underworld: a magical place that includes a Lower Elements Police Reconnaissance (LEPrecon), trolls, dwarves, and goblins, all located beneath the "real" human world.Īrtemis decides to kidnap a fairy and hold her for ransom to fund his search for his father. The fairies retaliate, and Artemis must pit his wits against their magical powers. He relies on his loyal protector, Butler, for companionship. His father (Artemis Fowl I) is missing, and his mother has gone mad with grief. In the first book, 12-year-old Artemis is living mostly unsupervised in the Fowl home. He's a thief and a kidnapper, among other misdeeds, and he is largely untroubled by remorse. That's part of his charm."įurther Reading Artemis Fowl trailer has some book fans up in arms over boy-genius portrayal Rowling's Harry Potter series, although Eoin Colfer's books have never achieved the same stratospheric commercial success. The comparison irritates Colfer, who describes his novels as being more like " Die Hard with fairies." As I wrote when the first teaser dropped way back in November 2018, "That's a fairly accurate description. The debut novel received generally positive reviews and a few comparisons to J.K. There are eight books in the Artemis Fowl series, detailing the extensive exploits of the titular character. The young criminal mastermind has been watered down and "Disney-fied" beyond recognition, just as fans feared. Artemis Fowl, the movie, is a spectacle-filled pointless slog that will be a crushing disappointment for book fans. At the time, I adopted a "wait and see" attitude, since it's generally a good idea to see the actual film before passing judgement. Their objection: t looked like a significant departure from the evil boy genius of the novels in favor of a more Disney-friendly heroic figure. Artemis Fowl fans loudly trumpeted their displeasure online when the second trailer for the film adaptation of the beloved YA books dropped in March, in advance of its debut on Disney+.
