I liked this installment of Artemis Fowl. Now that Artemis is growing up, girls become an issue and he has to deal with hormones and saving the world.

Artemis Fowl returns to team up again with Holly- this time to save the People from a new threat- demons. You also meet No. 1- a warlock demon who joins Artemis on their adventure

It was a slow read. Not as good as the previous books in the series. Excellent ending though.

I remember reading the first Artemis Fowl book when it was new and describing the fun blend of action and humor as having the appeal factors of a "Captain Underpants for teens"--equal parts smart and silly, rebellious and undermining of social norms, championing youth as intelligent and capable, and full of adventure and discovery.
I've been slowly working my way through the rest of the series since--I grab one every so often when craving some reliable storytelling fun--and have seen the character grow and mature. When I started The Lost Colony it popped into my head that I needed to update my appeal factors description to "Doctor Who for teens" (not that Doctor Who isn't already for teens). Compared to that first book, this one has less bodily function humor and more high-tech action, less idolization of criminal enterprises and more interest in relationships, caring, and compassion. And, as always, it's a great time.

There was one part of this book that dragged on to long and didn't engage me that stopped it from being a five star. I loved the new characters especially Minerva and I can't wait to read more about her in next book. This book left me wishing I had the rest of the books in the series and didn't have to wait to find them. But when I do she is going to be even cooler

What can I say but another fabulous adventure...we meet No.1 demon and Artemis, Holly, and Butler must race to save his world from utter destruction. To complicate matters, Artemis has a new nemesis, a young woman who is almost as smart as he is.

In all honesty, this is the best Artemis Fowl book to me. I didn't want to put the book down when it got to the best part. I can't even remember what happened in the other Artemis Fowl books but I remember a lot from this one.
