The Artemis Fowl series is one that I’ve been vaguely aware
of for a while. It was described to me
as funny and weird—basically the two things that usually guarantee that I will
enjoy a book. So when my mom picked this
up for me, assuming that this is the type of book I would enjoy, I figured that
now was a good a time as any to get into another series.
Twelve-year-old genius Artemis Fowl II is the youngest in a
long line of Irish criminals. Since his
father’s disappearance and his mother’s descent into insanity, he has taken
over the family business and is determine to return the family fortune to its
former glory. To achieve this end, he
has devised a scheme that involves kidnapping a fairy for their fabled
gold. He quickly comes across Captain
Holly Short, a member of LEPrecon and magically depleted, and holds her for
ransom with the assistance of his servant and bodyguard, Butler. The fairies are shocked that this kid
discovered their secrets but don’t feel that he is really a threat—he’s just a
human after all.
I really enjoyed this book, even though I normally can’t
stand little shits like Artemis. It was
funny and created an intriguing fairy world.
There really isn’t much more that I can say—I liked it and look forward
to reading the rest of the series.
