Ok, this is nothing short of fantastic. Nice writing, great vocabulary. I’ve noticed that some people complain about the words they use. Well, I’ve been reading these since 9 and understand them perfectly. Wonderful. Yeah, it isn’t the kind of thing that you can skim over. But I like it. It’s really smart, you can tell that Eion Colfer is a smart guy. Also, people saying that Arty is obnoxious……..of course he is! Through the whole thing, I think that everyone was rooting for Holly. But, come on, he’s kid thief. What did you expect?

Artemis Fowl the 2nd is a criminal mastermind. He is a sardonic genius, has made several huge criminal investments, has gotten the best of everyone he meets, bewildered and astonoished physchologicists…..and he’s only 12 years old. But what’s the cause? His father, Artemis Fowl 1st, has disappeared on a boat. Artemis won’t give up on him, even though the courts have officially proclaimed him dead, and his mother has sunk into a depression since her husbnad’s disappearance. Artemis will do anything to get his dad back, but he needs the money to fund it. Where to get it?

The next main character: Captain Holly Short, the first female officer of the LEP. She’s under pressure by the sexists…so when she skips out on the magic-restoring Ritual, she’s sent to get her powers back. Where she’s ambushed by the power-hungry Artemis.
