A Solid Sequel,
By reader (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident - Book #2 (Hardcover)
I was first introduced to the world of Artimis Fowl in my friends car as he and I drove the long two hours home from Boy Scout's (all right, it was Cub Scouts, but still) camp and this was the first one I happened to pick up. It seemed to have all of the factors for a great book and as I read on (of course, I finished the first one before getting too deep into the story) I began to think that that was just what it was. A good, adolescent charecter, criminal intrigue, a solid beginning, a great deal of suspense, and, of course, magic and high-tech adventure.I think that the sequel far surpasses the first in the way that Artimis starts to look for his father and, in doing so, takes (or tries to take) revenge on his past while all the time struggling with his growing conscious. The faries take an important role in this novel, however the mood is tense between Artimis ("the Mud Boy") and the fairies, along Holly (that's Captain Short to you!) is starting to become a much more interesting charecter in she starts to see genuine compassion for Artimis yet can't shake the fact that he is human. In short, all of the charecters grow as they age and the pleasent mix of magic, plot, and all new adventure make this a great read... and a great sequel, even by the first's standards.

This review is from: Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident - Book #2 (Hardcover)
Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident is the second instalment in the Artemis Fowl series. Now, if you have yet to read the first, don't even think about reading this one first, as you will be totally lost. Well, not totally, but you'll not be able to fully appreciate some of the character emotions and actions. Here we find Artemis Fowl Jr. on a rescue mission to save his father from the Russian Mafiya. On his way, he is abducted by LEPrecon Captain Holly Short, taken in for questioning about illegal trading with goblins. He is, duhviously, innocent, but is nevertheless enlisted to aid the People, in exchange for help with his father. Sounds simple, right? What could possibly go wrong? How about everything?A disillusioned LEP officer concocts an elaborate scheme to overtake the LEP and, eventually, the Upper World. While Captain Short, Commander Root, Artemis and Butler, Artemis'...butler, go to Russia, Haven is thrown into utter chaos, and only our heroes can save the Lower Elements. What could possibly be bad with this book? How about nothing? The action is fast-paced, with many surprises, twists and 'eh?' moments, where you marvel at the utter coolness of this book. If you do not read this book, you are missing out on a GREAT literary experience. I also refuse to believe that Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code, is the last we'll hear of Artemis' hijinks. Anyhows. Buy this book.
