Title: Not Even as Good as The First One
Product review: I really wanted to like this book, but it is not very good. The first "Artemis Fowl" book was pretty good, but Mr. Colfer did not have the same luck and/or magic with this effort.It is rushed and, what is worse, plays extensively on the hackneyed device of EVERYONE except our heroes being either bad or stupid. That gets so old, so fast, it makes for an unpleasant read, rather than a story to escape into. I wanted to BE in the world of the first book. I didn't want to be any of the places or with any of the characters in the second one.Definitely wait for the paperback, and perhaps borrow it from the library.
