Readability: 1 soooo easy.
Teachability: 5 It's an alright book but I wouldn't necessarily use it to teach anything. The only thing I would use it for is for point of view. There are a lot of changes in the narrative. It moves from character to character. It would be a good example of how that can happen in writing, but not necessarily a good example of how to go about doing it. (Suggested grade level: 6-8)
Did I like it?: As an adult reader... no. I didn't like it at all. The language and plot structure weren't complex enough to hold my attention for long. I kept putting the book down and finding other things to do.
Summary: Artemis Fowl is a boy-genius... in a criminal mastermind kind of way. He captures a "fairy" and holds her for ransom. To get the ransom he has to work his way around the tricks that the other fairy-folk set in place to stop him.
Recommended for: Boys. There is a lot of action and I think boys would like to relate to Artemis.
