Subject: Artemis Fowl Update

I´ve waited a long time for young criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl to meet his match. Finally, it´s happened.

A second juvenile genius has discovered that fairies do exist, and she is determined to capture one for scientific study. And not just any fairy. The newcomer intends to trap a demon - the most human hation species unknown to man.
But there are more than two players in this deadly game. Holly Short has been enlisted by Section 8, a covert division of the Lower Elements Police, to find out just what her old accomplice Artemis is up to. And there is also a mysterious assassin, Billy Kong, who will stop at nothing to get his revenge.
Only an ancient time spell separates the demons from mankind - and Artemis must prevent it from unravelling. If he fails, the bloodthirsty tribe will relaunch their quest to wipe every human from the planet. Because that´s what demons live to do.
There can be one winner - and this time it might not be Artemis Fowl.
Take nothing for granted.

My impression of the book:
As good as the others, though this time I see some problems with having another sequel... Well you never know what authers will come up with - I had the same worries at the end of part three...

und zurück zu mir

Ist seit heute Mittag auf dem Weg zu coco7. Viel Spaß beim Lesen allen Ringteilnehmern.

Ist gut bei mir angekommen, vielen Dank! Ich arbeite im Moment noch an Band 4 ...

This was really thrilling! I liked it better than the other four books, maybe because it was the first one I read in English. And I think there are enough possibilities for a sequel (including Minerva :-)).

yippieh, just finished the Arctic Incident and already have part 5 in my Packstation. It seems that the Fowls won't end :-)

Set aside the end - 3 years later, the parents know everything and Butler and Minerva are good friends meanwhile... is there any deeper sense that I can't see? - I absolutely loved this book. And I had some sleepless nights *yawn* because I simply didn't want to stop reading.
Sometimes I thought "How the heck could you translate that???" So I'm very curious reading the German translation some day... if I get bored ;-)

Again, I didn't solve the code ;-) Maybe the following readers want to.
We had to change the order due to the little "problem" that Lakritzschnecke had just finished book 1 and prefers to have some more time until she gets buried under pixies, demons and warlocks. So I'm jumping to ParadizeApple, who already knows 1-3.

Hat mir der Postbote mit vielen anderen schon Anfang der Woche vor die Tür gelegt, mein Computer, die Mimose, hat aber noch eine Weile gezickt. Sorry für den späten Eintrag und vielen Danke für's Schicken. :-)

Danke für's Schicken. Muss irgendwann letzte Woche zusammen mit 'The opal deception' angekommen sein. War nicht zu Hause, daher weiß ich nicht genau, wann.

Ich bin böse! Ich habe das Buch nicht gelesen! *schäm* Ich hatte einfach das Gefühl, dass sich alle Bände zu sehr ähneln. Außerdem habe ich gerade noch so viele andere Bücher.
Aber warum soll ich mich dazu zwingen, Lesen soll ja Spaß machen! Und so kommt das Buch nun viel schneller zur nächsten Leserin.
Ich wünsche mehr Lesebegeisterung als ich hatte!

Arrived safely today. Thanks for sending! We will wait with reading until the previous volumes have arrived.

Update 07.07.08: A nice book and better than the last volume. Although it did not catch me as much as the first ones. I liked the idea of Artemis in puberty and bringing a female genius into the story. But I found Minervas family life a bit unbelievable - maybe also because you did not really get a look at it. I liked N°1 and the whole demon story. But the ending left many things open.
Thanks for sharing the book! I actually liked all volumes a lot and they are quick and easy to read.

The book arrived here yesterday and I finished it this morning - a quick read full of fairies and demons and TWO juvenile criminal masterminds that had me laughing out loud several times. Thanks for the fun read (in a gorgeous sparkling cover, of course!)

Will now PM amnome
