Summary: terrific sequel, more mature hero
Comment: The great thing about the first Artemis Fowl novel was the idea that fairies, far from being pretty little things with gauzy wings are a secret race of technologically advanced beings living deep underground. Colfer tapped deep into Irish myth and came up with the idea that fairy gold was real - and a teenage master-criminal was going to get it.
Artemis is a great anti-hero, and when the new book begins he's running rings round the school shrink (whose ... psychology books he's naturally read and despised.) This is very funny, but what's better is that underneath the cockiness, Artemis is a boy with a messed-up family who really misses his Dad, who vanished in Russia. News comes that his father isn't dead but kidnapped by the Mafia, and the only way Artemis can get him out is to join forces with his arch-Nemesis, Holly SHort of the LEPRecon unit. Currently in disgrace, Holly has a few problems of her own...like putting down a goblin rebellion.
All the great comic characters such as Muclh Diggums, the disgusting dwarf who chomps his way through the earth, expelling it out his rear end (now pretending to be a reclusive Hollywood star) are back. It's fast and funny, and if Colfer's The WIsh List (published in the US as The Eternity Code) is more moving and thoughtful, well, kids will love that too.

Summary: Second-best book of all time!!
Comment: Eoin Colfer has done it again! 'Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident' is a spectacular sequel to 'Artemis Fowl'.
The book has all the old characters along with some new characters.
Artemis has grown up a bit since the past year. He shows his rare emotional side, but he is still the same child prodigy that he was previously.
The book is on-the-edge-of-your-seat stuff, along with some hilarious moments (Artemis getting shoved into a snowdrift by Butler). It is filled with action, adventure, hilarity, mystery and magic, but with a modern twist to it.
If you haven't read the previous Artemis Fowl book, then what are you waiting for?! Buy it!...
The top 5 books are:
5. Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets
4. Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire
3. Artemis Fowl
2. Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident
1. Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban
Eoin Colfer's work is too good for words. I would give it infinity stars if I could. If you want to find out more about it, buy it!
If not, you're missing out on something AMAZINGLY BIG!

Summary: A SPLENDID VOICE PERFORMANCE
Comment: Following on the heels of his highly successful introduction of young hero Artemis Fowl, Colfer continues with Artemis attending boarding school. It is there that our unflappable hero receives a pleading email from Russia - someone has been kidnaped by the Russian Mafiya and it is imperative that Artemis rescue him. The kidnaped person? His father.
There's a hint of the British and a tinge of the Irish in the low, resonant voice of Nathaniel Parker. His reading is superb with perfect nuances and pauses,, drawing listeners into the adventure. I found myself leaning forward, not that I couldn't hear him quite distinctly but because I didn't want to miss one of his captivating inflections.
Nathaniel Parker's narration, rather than "reading" merits the word "performance." It also deserves an award.
