pickI‘ve read one reviewer refer to this as “utter crack”, and I wholeheartedly agree with that assessment. It starts ridiculous, even for Artemis standards, almost unbearably so—he develops a magical split personality disorder—but it eventually grows on you. A touch random. Fortunately, it comes together well (even the new bad guy develops personality at the end—kudos for that), so still a low pick. Certainly not my favorite volume.
3.5/5
pickArtemis and crew try to save Atlantis upon destruction.
You can tell the author wrote this book right after he wrote for the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. The writing is different in this book than the rest of the Artemis Fowl series, but it‘s very similar to the writing of the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. I liked this one more than the last two or three.
"Oh, I'm crazy, all right. I do have plenty of psychoses," said Orion cheerily. "Multiple personality, delusional dementia, OCD. I've got them all, but most of all, I'm crazy about you."
