The second installment of the Artemis Fowl series did not disappoint. It is packed with the same amazing writing that made us laugh and cringe in round one. This book follows young Artemis on a quest to rescue his lost father. Holly, Butler, Root, and the gang all return to liven up the scene. We may even see a decent side to this evil criminal mastermind. 4 stars for this exciting sequel.

Not going to be my favourite from the series.
Artemis took a bit of a backseat. But is this book setting the character up for further books… the question on everyone’s lips (in 2004).

I've been listening to the audio books with my 9 year old son and have to say that I've enjoyed them.

I had a hard time getting into this one. Though it might have had something to do with the fact that I was listening to the audiobook while running a marathon. Mostly I didn't care at all about the storylines that didn't have anything to do with Artemis or Holly. Luckily I'm reading book 3 now and like it a lot better.

I liked the story, as always, but if I hadn't read the original book, there's nothing that really would have made me read this. Oh and it's obvious the illustrator is a man because of Holly's hair. Because what was with it!? Seriously, if she's supposed to be an officer, she wouldn't just have this long strand of hair always in the middle of her face impedeing her vision! also, it wouldn't just stay in one strand in a single spot, it would spread out get in the way! And I realize that's a weird thing to rant about, but every time I saw it, it took me right out of the book because it is SO unrealistic.
