Now available in a gorgeous paperback box set—the first five books in the blockbuster best-selling Artemis Fowl series, starring everyone’s favorite criminal mastermind. An ingenious gift indeed
Artemis Fowl
Twelve-year-old Artemis Fowl is a millionaire, a genius—and, above all, a criminal mastermind. But even Artemis doesn’t know what he’s taken on when he kidnaps a fairy, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit.
Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident
Artemis receives an urgent e-mail from Russia. In it is a plea from a man who has been kidnapped by the Russian Mafiya: his father. Now, instead of battling the fairies, Artemis must join forces with them if he wants to save one of the few people in the world he loves.
Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code
Artemis is going straight—as soon as he pulls off the most brilliant feat of his criminal career. But the plan goes terribly wrong when his loyal bodyguard and friend Butler is mortally injured. It’s going to take a miracle to save Butler, and Artemis’s luck may have just run out….
Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception
Artemis is in Munich preparing to steal a famously well-guarded painting. Little does he know that his every move is being watched by his cunning old rival, Opal Koboi, who plans to destroy Artemis by turning his own genius against him.
Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony
There's only one human who can help the fairies and protect the world from the demons beginning to materialize on Earth—Artemis Fowl. Or is he? It seems someone else has unlocked the secrets to the fairy world. And she is just twelve years old...

"My original ambition was to be a comic book artist. I would still love to write a comic one day."
"I have a real hatred of queues. If I see a queue of more than four people, I will leave the building and come back another day."
"I have four brothers and they are the inspiration for several of the sprites and gremlins in my books."
"I did a parachute jump recently and loved it. I would definitely take it up as a hobby if we had more clear sky over here in Ireland."
"I am a big theatre fan, and I go as often as possible with my wife. I actually started out in the theatre, writing plays for my actor friends."
I had always been told to read Artemis Fowl by my friends. I never got around to it and after enough time passed, I felt too old to read it. That was, until I received the boxed set as a gift from my beloved girlfriend. I gave the first book a shot and enjoyed the read very much. The other books were flawless sequels that I also enjoyed. My only real complaints are the books are very easy to read and don't require much attention. Plus, the characters are somewhat childish, but fun all the same. I am a senior in high school and I very much enjoyed every book in the series. Oh and by the way, there are two major plot twists in the storyline that caught me very off guard...

I really enjoy reading the Artemis Fowl series, and I would have to say that they are my favorite books. The series itself is engaging and imaginative, and is a good fit for anybody who likes a good read with a lot of adventure and fantasy. Mr. Colfer is a wonderful writer, I love all his work, and the characters are colorful and original. The plots always surprise me, and I never quite know what will happen next. I absolutely love it. Go Artemis!

My 12 yr old son just finished it for his summer reading. He loves action adventure and thrilling stories. He now is reading a book called, Smitty's Cave Adventures and really likes that book too! Good summer reading material.

I've read all of the Artemis Fowl books and have passed them on to my nephews. These books are full of fantasy, intrigue, and lessons in morality, and though they're popular with tweens, they're great reading for adults as well. I recently bought the set for coworker as a retirement gift (we both loved the Harry Potter books!), and I was a little worried that he might not find Artemis to be quite as appealing as I did, but after he read the first one he called to say the book was great and he was looking forward to reading the next one! I highly recommend this series for parents and children alike.

I have read all six books (actually more than once) and find that even as an adult, the story line was truly enjoyable. With a hint of old schools Encyclopedia Brown wit, Nancy Drew mystery and Harry Potter "charm", this book series sweeps your mind into another world yet holds one leg in our own.

I finished reading all 3 books for the hundredth time, and I'm on Artemis Fowl deprivation. I need More. I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, but nothing is as funny, smart, and creative as Artemis Fowl.

All three Colfer master-peices are an outstanding read from page 1-277 I was on the edge of my seat. The characters that in the book are funny, smart, magical, and dont forget above all crimimal master minds. This is a great read for ages 9 to 90. Artemis Fowl can give the image to fairies that Harry Potter gave to wizardry. If you havent read them than what are you waiting for its not like the books are going to magic there way to your doorstep but then again you never know what will happen next with these stories.

Artemis Fowl and Artemis Fowl: The Artic Incident are the best books I have ever read. The Artemis Fowl series are the best books in the world! Once I started reading it I could not put it down, I read the whole first book in just one day, I liked it so much. I just finished the Prolouge and Chapter 1 of the second Artemis Fowl series Artemis Fowl: The Artic Incident.

Any one of the Artemis Fowl trilogy books are some of my favorite. I found myself saying, over and over again, 'Just one more chapter, then I'll put it down,' which I didn't. =) Colfer lets you see through the eyes of different characters - for example, on one page you might be in England with Artemis, and on the next you could be in the core of the earth with Holly and the other People. Highly recommended for ages 9 and up.
