Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident

Eoin, Colfer. Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident. New York City: Hyperion Books for Children, 2002. 277 pages. (Fantasy Series/Humor)

Artemis is on another quest, but this time the prize is even more important than gold- it’s his father. The Russian Mafia have kidnapped his father and they want their ransom money! This battle is quite different from the last book: Artemis will be teaming up with the fairies. What would the fairies need so desperately that they’d be willing to help Artemis? Read Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident to find out!

These books are pretty good. I think the idea to write a book about a twelve year old millionaire criminal mastermind is a great idea, I just don’t think the books were written that well. Even in the parts that were supposed to be exciting, I didn’t feel any need to find out what happened. In all, I think it was a great idea by a not-so-good writer.
