Artemis finally has a solid lead on where his father is--in the arctic, kidnapped by the mafia! So now he's off on a quest to save his dad, but he needs help from the LEP, and Holly. This is where they start to cement that solid friendship, which is what made for such a fantastic series (instead of just one book).

I enjoyed this one less than its predecessor which was surprising. There was a lot of time spent on how the operations worked but at the same time, they used lingo about the machinery that the reader was apparently supposed to just get. I'd settle for shorter descriptions of what they were doing in general. All the same, it was witty, funny at times, and had good character development. What more can I ask from book 2 in a series?

The second installment of the Artemis Fowl series did not disappoint. It is packed with the same amazing writing that made us laugh and cringe in round one. This book follows young Artemis on a quest to rescue his lost father. Holly, Butler, Root, and the gang all return to liven up the scene. We may even see a decent side to this evil criminal mastermind. 4 stars for this exciting sequel.

Not going to be my favourite from the series.
Artemis took a bit of a backseat. But is this book setting the character up for further books… the question on everyone’s lips (in 2004).

I've been listening to the audio books with my 9 year old son and have to say that I've enjoyed them.

I had a hard time getting into this one. Though it might have had something to do with the fact that I was listening to the audiobook while running a marathon. Mostly I didn't care at all about the storylines that didn't have anything to do with Artemis or Holly. Luckily I'm reading book 3 now and like it a lot better.
