Marco Perez's Reviews > Artemis Fowl: The Graphic Novel

Paragraph 1: Summary: Imagine what would have happened if a 12-year-old criminal genius had outsmarted the world's most powerful mythical creatures. Artemis Fowl: The Graphic Novel is an entertaining fiction book written by Eoin Colfer and Andrew Donkin that brings into life the adventures of young Artemis Fowl, who was born a genius but possessed a knack for being into criminal schemes. In this graphic novel, a daring Artemis concocts a scheme for restoring his family's fortunes by kidnapping a fairy: Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit. Simplicity, however, is not about to assert itself in a world teeming with advanced fairy technology and unrelenting magical creatures that present him with some totally unforeseen moral dilemmas. This novel is a wild amalgam of suspense, humor, and action as Artemis juggles between the cold calculations and his growing sense of humanity.
Paragraph 2 I didn’t enjoy Artemis Fowl: The Graphic Novel as much as I hoped. While the idea of a young criminal mastermind is intriguing, the story felt rushed. The characters, especially Artemis and Holly, lacked depth, and the emotional impact from the original novel was missing. The plot was occasionally exciting but hard to follow, with fast pacing that didn’t allow for proper world-building or suspense. The artwork, though impressive, sometimes overshadowed the story. This graphic novel is best for younger readers who enjoy quick, action-packed tales but lacks the depth of the original book.
