A fun, fast-paced adventure.The writing is fairly simple with an intense plot and plenty of mysteries to solve along the way. While the character of Artemis Fowl isn’t necessarily likable, his quick wit and incredible deductive skills make for an interesting story you can’t put down. I really enjoyed the descriptions of the People’s technology. Colfer creates a whole new take on fairies and folklore as he mixes magic and technology.A great adventure story that makes the reader really think about humanity’s relationship with the natural world.
