About this ebook
AT JUST TWELVE YEARS OLD, ARTEMIS FOWL IS A CRIMINAL GENIUS.
No scheme is too dastardly, no plot too devious. And he's just discovered that fairies are real.
Poor fairies.
But these are not the cuddly creatures of bedtime stories. They are armed. They are dangerous. And when Artemis captures Captain Holly Short for her fairy gold, he messes with the wrong elf.
Holly isn't armed but she's incredibly dangerous, and pretty annoyed with all the kidnapping.
Artemis Fowl is about to find out that fairies fight back . . .
Let the misadventure begin.

J'ai vraiment aimé ce livre. Je l'avais déjà lu en portugais avant mais j'ai décidé de le relire pour pratiquer la langue française et maintenant je veux lire toute la série dans cette langue. Je recommande ce livre à tous ceux qui aiment une bonne histoire d'aventure fantastique. L'alchimie entre les personnages Artemis et Butler est incroyable, j'aime aussi les dialogues et la richesse des traits donnés aux personnages Holy, Root et Foaly.

I love this book, and it's sequels! They always kept me turning the page; can't wait for the final book in July :D

I am TOTALLY into fiction, but this book made it all sound true, the metals and units weren't made up junk, but actually sounded really interesting.
