Ten millennia ago, the fairy people were defeated in a great battle with mankind, forcing them to move underground. Only the 8th family of fairies remained undefeated: the demons. But now one demon has discovered the secrets of the fairy world, and if humans get hold of this information, the fairies are in BIG trouble. Only one person can prevent this disaster - teenage criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl.

Reviewer: A bookworm

I thought this book was great because it had a main plot but it had loads of mini-plots within it which meant that you never knew what was going to happen next. Every time you think the characters are going to be okay, another problem comes up! Another good thing is that it's got lots of funny bits. I like funny books because you can remember them afterwards when you're feeling sad and then it cheers you up.
