rhiannonagnes 's review for:
Highfire
by Eoin Colfer
What fun! My favorite character was Buttons the gator.
I don’t remember the writing style of Artemis Fowl very clearly since I read it as a tweenager, but I suspect this is written pretty similarly. I found the vernacular and ham handed references a bit much at times, and the long exposition passages pitted with self talk dragged a bit. But if it had been a shorter book, would each of those characters’ arcs been as satisfying? Uncertain.
I enjoyed reading it, and I was glad I put in the time both waiting for myself to get around to it and to finish it.
