Artemis Fowl has been presumed dead, his wife Angeline Fowl is ill to the point of madness; the Fowl criminal empire has fallen. But twelve year old Irish criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl II plans change this. He’s gotten his hands on a copy of the Book, the sacred text of the People. And the People are…Fairies. They are creatures that live in secret from the Humans, but cunning Artemis knows about them. Once Artemis gets the book, he knows all their secrets. When he kidnaps and holds for ransom Holly Short, a Fairy, a captain of the LEPrecon unit, he thinks he has them right where he wants them. And he almost does. Almost.

Some people have said that author Eoin Colfer tried and failed to paint a charming anti-hero. I disagree. You know why? Because he’s not supposed to be an anti-hero, hell, he’s not even an anti-villain, he’s a flat-out villain. And a superb one at that. Really, the guy excels at Xanatos gambits and Xanatos speed chess, how awesome is that? He’s affably evil, always with his vile remarks, always several steps ahead. Artemis Fowl refreshed me, and I enjoyed wondering how everything would unfold.

Eoin Colfer actually explains how hidden Elves, Goblins, Dwarfs, and the like could really exist. He doesn’t claim that they’re there just because they are. He properly surrounds his creations with realism and history. I must applaud him for that.

All of the Fairy characters worked very well, particularly Commander Root, Foaly the Centaur, Mulch Diggums the Dawrf (surprisingly), and of course, Holly. Root at first seemed like someone to hate, but he actually turned out to be a respectable veteran. Foaly was the sarcastic computer genius, the banter that shoots back and forth between him and Root was hilarious. Glad to see Holly wasn’t some annoying typical girl character, I actually really liked her. Mulch was awesome; he’s such a unique and crazy-ass kleptomaniac. A surprising amount of time is spent on him, and that’s a good thing.

I really like

I was worried about the size, but I never notice it. It is great to use on the bike and for running. It is very accurate and easy to sync with the computer. It has really pushed my training to the next level.

I loved this book and the Saga is amazing. I borrowed the books from a friend, read them, and decided to read them again. I ordered this book and had it in no time. Good purchase.
