Okay, before you get too excited, this is only a sixty - page book written for £1 sale on world book day. Other than that, I really liked it. It's set between the first and second Artemis Fowl books, and focuses quite largely on Mulch Diggums (as the name of the book might suggest). All the other major characters like Holly Short and Artemis himself also play large parts in this book.
Overall, I was a little dissapointed with the size, but it was still written with all the great features that made the other books so popular.
I think that Mr. Colfer has something much bigger planned!

I own the rest of the AF series and have read them all numerous times, so I was very excited to see another one, even one as short as this.
It was a quick and simple read, which was what I was expecting. It was nice to see something more from the characters I love. In particular I liked the scenes between Artemis and his mother, Angeline, which you don't see in the other books. It humanises Artemis and the reader can relate to him but, at the same time, he remains the cold-hearted genius that the reader knows.
It wasn't up to the rest of the series in terms of plot and humour, but considering the fact that it's about a tenth of the size, I wouldn't expect that. It also fits neatly into the already established books, taking place between the first and the second.
I would recommend this book, although I prefer the rest of the series.

I would give 5 stars to the previous 3 books in the Fowl series, but I'm not so sure about this latest installment. "The Seventh Dwarf" is only about 60 pages long, so it isn't a very long read, which perhaps is its biggest let down for Fowl fans. If you're looking for a fully fledged Fowl adventure, you can find it in miniature here. This chapter is set in the time between Artemis Fowl and Artemis Fowl: The Artic Incident, so Artemis' father is still missing. Artemis is after a famous diamond and tries to steal it with the help of Mulch Diggums but Holly Short the fairy is once again desperate to foil his criminal plans...It's a nice read and wasn't expensive. A great read for Fowl fans and a good introduction to the series for those new to him.

It's short for a reason
This book is shorter than the rest for a reason. This book was writen for World Book Day 2004. It cost British school children £1 with profits to charity, I think. Read more

Good as always
I dont doubt Eoin but this one was a bit short, oh well, keep the big ones coming.

Short & Sweet ... a little gem!
This short book works well in two ways.
Firstly, for fans of Artemis Fowl, this is a neatly written little episode that fits in between the first and second AF books. Read more
