Our intrepid anti-hero Artemis Fowl returns again in this second instalment in Eoin Colfer’s best selling series. Artemis, having been installed at a prestigious boarding school by his now recovered mother Angelina, takes great delight in confounding the school psychologist and taking leave as he pleases to pursue his other 'interests'. In this book that happens to be the whereabouts of his father after confirmation is received that he is still alive and being held to ransom by the ‘Russian Mafiya’. Artemis, together with faithful servant Butler, must rescue Artemis Senior but they are going to need help.
Deep underground, Goblins are smuggling contraband, human contraband and that means there has to be a human plotting together with the power hungry, fireball throwing lizards but who? And to what end? Holly Short intends to find out and her first point of call is her old ‘friend’ Artemis.
Foaly is paranoid, as always, and can’t shake the feeling that the Council’s faith and increasing weapons contracts are ill placed in Koboi Industries. In sunny LA Lance Digger, a very short millionaire has developed a rather interesting hobby that involves entering film stars homes in an unorthodox manner that can only lead trouble – but he’s used to that!
All the wonderful characters from the first book are here and the development of these continues to delight and adds a sense of familiarity; like visiting old friends.
Treachery, revenge, and a good smattering of humour ensure that this sequel is just as enjoyable and entertaining as the first book and again leaves you hungry for more. Eoin Colfer’s superb writing and comic timing has provided us with a book that is a stimulating read for both adults and children alike and devilishly addictive.
Parental Notes: Toilet humour and some fairly innocuous fight scenes. This is book contains both strong female and male characters and is to be enjoyed by both girls and boys alike.
