Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer

4.0

---

Nostalgic reread. I picked it up because the audiobook was available on my library app and I really liked the narrator. Their Artemis is absolutely perfect. Anyway, docking a star for the portrayal of the Vietnamese character in the first chapter, but otherwise this was more fun than I remember. It's surprisingly funny. I read this series when I was, what, 10? And I had forgotten most of the details. All I remember was that Artemis was really cool. Now that I've reread it, I feel like I seriously missed out on Holly. She's a fantastic character. Watching Artemis duel wits with everyone was fun, yes, but watching Holly be her hot-headed and compassionate self really makes me root for her. She's awesome. I loved all the side characters too.
