Book Review: The Artemis Fowl Files

 Summary: Artemis Fowl’s confidential files have been discovered in his safe at Fowl Manor. Now you too can share the secrets! 
 The Artemis Fowl Files will delight Eoin Colfer’s legions of fans with its behind-the-scenes interviews with the much-loved characters including: Holly Short, Mulch Diggums, and Artemis Fowl.
 Two brand-new Artemis Fowl short stories including:
 “LEPrecon,” the story of Fairy Police Captain Holly Short's move from Traffic to Recon following her initiation into the Fairy Police, and “The Seventh Dwarf,” featuring the flatulent dwarf Mulch Diggums, Butler, and Artemis himself.
 Plus:
 Special coded messages from the Fairy Book for fans to translate
 A “Fairy Spotter” Guide detailing the fairy world. Learn all about the physical characteristics and countless personality traits of the various fairy categories including: elves, trolls, sprites, pixies, goblins, and more.
 Cool descriptions and diagrams of Foaly’s greatest gadgets.

Thoughts: This was a really cute book with lots of fun extras for fans of the series. I read it after finishing the entire series but it can easily be read after the fourth book (Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception). 
 The extras were great but it was the two side stories featuring the main four (yes, Arty is in here!) that were the real treasure. Without giving too much away, it gave a peek into the beginnings of change for Holly and Artemis and worked very nicely despite being so short. The plots were simple, the writing was witty and it was an overall enjoyable read.

Content: Some crude humor and foul fairy-language (fictional swear words). Some dangerous and violent situations. Otherwise clean and adorable.
