Just
continuing a complete review of all the books my son Sheldon has in
his library from this particular series. He has the first five and
this is the fourth in the series. I have read the first six but we
have no copy of the sixth in the series – yet.
Artemis
Fowl starts this story off without any of his fairy memories. He
agreed in exchange for help from the fairies to have them all
scrubbed from his mind so he would no longer be a threat to their
underground existence. He of course has reverted to his criminal
behaviour something he appeared to be progressing out of in the last
book. He and Butler are on their way to steal a painting. Holly
Short, Foaly and Commander Root have to deal with an escaped convict.
Their retrieval effort goes awry with Commander Root being killed on
an explosion blamed on Holly.
Opal
Koboi the pixie genius villianess of The Arctic Incident made an
impossible escape and is plotting revenge on all those who defeated
her then, including the unaware Artemis and Butler. Our heroes
including Mulch Diggums who has to escape from a prison submarine
have their hands full.
The
book is written in the same humorous style as the preceding books and
is an enjoyable adventure. It's no secret that I'm a fan. Still I
think it is deserving of the five star rating.
