I think this is one of the best books in the series because it’s easy to understand, plus it’s full with action and excitement. I also like it because a lot of different things shock you at first but then you figure out later in the book that it would’ve happened anyway or it just had to happen. Even though it jumps around a little bit, it gives everyone in the story their own opinion so it makes it more interesting as reader to see what everyone really wants and what happens when they don’t get it. I highly recommend this book to all the Artemis Fowl fans.
