Artemis Fowl (2005, Hardcover)

My son was reading this book and when he was done...He told me I needed to read it! He is 10 and couldn't put it down. After the first few chapters, I was addicted and bought the next 4 books! A must read for all ages!!! Can't wait for the movie!!!!

Well, my son stayed up all night reading this one and then spent two days on the internet studying cloning! WOW. He loved the Harry Potter books, but those never sent him to the computer to study up on something that applies to life now! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! Now I have read it and I have to wonder..... Is Opal really gone? Happy reading!

Criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl is back...and so is his cunning enemy, Opal Kobol. At the start of the fourth adventure, Artemis has returned to his unlawful ways. He's in Berlin, perparing to steal a famous impressionist painting from a German bank. He has no idea that his old rival, Opal, has escaped from prison by cloning herself. She's left her double behind in jail and, now free, is exacting her revenge on all those who put her there, including Artemis.

Meanwhile in the lower elements, Opal has planted a trap for Captain Holly Short and Commander Root of the LEPrecon fairy police--Root is killed, and Holly is framed for the murder. Instead of staying around to defend herseld, Holly rushes to the surface to warn Artemis. But before Holly and Artemis can get away, Opal arrives and abducts them both. Artemis is faced with a world he does not believe in and an enemy with an infernal plan to destroy this world forever.

What an imagination this guy has and it continues through yet another Artemis Fowl book. Meant for young teens I enjoy it too and I could be a grandmother of a teen. Enjoyed it thoroughly!
