Book Review: Artemis fowl and the Artic Incident


Summary: Artemis rushes from Ireland school to Russia where the Mafiya kidnapped his father. Captain Holly Short of LEPRecon against fairies interrupts him. This time he may have to join the fairies instead of battling them.

Thoughts: I love this series! Not really sure what about a rotten thirteen year old genius appeals to me but...I can't help it. Right or wrong I find myself always rooting for Artemis. Luckily his enterprise in this sequel is mostly honest. Artemis has finally found news of his missing father and rushes to his rescue...or he would have if Holly Short hadn't interrupted him. Through a strange turn of events the fairies and their mortal enemy (Artemis) work together to solve the turbulence both under and above ground. So...literally the whole book is about Artemis desperately wanting to find his dad. It was adorable as even Holly was forced to begrudgingly admit. The characters begin to develop from their first meeting wonderfully. The cast expands a little but not enough to become confusing and the story expands from just Ireland this time. Without giving away too much, I'll just say that they get around and leave it at that! 
 But seriously, the plot, though lagging sometimes, moves quickly and unfolds well and had me enjoying every bit of it. And the ending was wonderfully done. 
 The writing is still easy and makes for a light read but this nevers deducts from the enjoyment of this series!.

Content: There's a bit of crude humor and violence but otherwise a clean read!
