Book Review: Artemis Fowl and the Atlantis Complex
Summary: ARTEMIS FOWL HAS LOST HIS MIND…JUST WHEN THE WORLD NEEDS HIM MOST
Artemis has committed his entire fortune to a project he believes will save the planet and its inhabitants, both human and fairy. Can it be true? Has goodness taken hold of the world’s greatest teenage criminal mastermind?
Captain Holly Short is unconvinced, and discovers that Artemis is suffering from Atlantis Complex, a psychosis common among guilt-ridden fairies—not humans—and most likely triggered by Artemis’s dabbling with fairy magic. Symptoms include obsessive-compulsive behavior, paranoia, multiple personality disorder and, in extreme cases, embarrassing professions of love to a certain feisty LEPrecon fairy.
Unfortunately, Atlantis Complex has struck at the worst possible time. A deadly foe from Holly’s past is intent on destroying the actual city of Atlantis. Can Artemis escape the confines of his mind—and the grips of a giant squid—in time to save the underwater metropolis and its fairy inhabitants?
Thoughts: Great! Fabulous! This adventure was heart stopping and side splitting, usually at the same time.
The character development was key to the plot here and was amazing! Everyone grows and reveals so much about themselves that it really overshadows the rest of the story. Artemis especially was great (I love this kid). And Holly didn't dissapoint me when I needed her most. All of the cast was fantastic!
The plot was good. Not great, but good and deep with many layers sure to keep every reader captivated from start to finish.
The writing is the same. Fabulous, witty dialogue carries the story through each and every turn and it was a thrilling ride!
Content: A bit of language, same as previous books and crude humor. Magic and violence and a few awkwardly 'romantic' (used in the loosest sense) were present. Otherwise a clean and great read!
