Artemis Fowl and the Atlantis Complex (Artemis Fowl, #7)

by Eoin Colfer

ARTEMIS FOWL'S CRIMINAL WAYS HAVE FINALLY GOT THE BETTER OF HIM . . .

Young Artemis has frequently used high-tech fairy magic to mastermind the most devious criminal activity of the new century. Now, at a conference in Iceland, Artemis has gathered the fairies to present his latest idea to save the world from global warming. But Artemis is behaving strangely - he seems different. Something terrible has happened to him . . .

Artemis Fowl has become nice.

The fairies diagnose Atlantis Complex (that's obsessive compulsive disorder to you and I) - it seems dabbling in magic has damaged Artemis' main weapon: his mind. Fairy ally Captain Holly Short doesn't know what to do. The subterranean volcanoes are under attack from vicious robots and Artemis cannot fight them. Can Holly get the real Artemis back ---before the robot probes destroy every human and life form?

To me this wasn't as good as the past Artemis Fowl books. It probably had to do with fact that Artemis really isn't himself for a good portion of the book so the smart alec genius really isn't all that present. The humor is still there though and I still got a few giggles from the banter and the goofy stuff that Orion was saying. The plot moved very quickly (or maybe I read it too quickly) for my likely really, and it made it seem to be more of a filler episode then I true Artemis adventure. It's still wonderful and there is still a good amount of action, but it just wasn't the same. I do look forward to what Colfer has in store for Artemis' next adventure, maybe more to do with The Project. I can say I'm happy that Opal Koboi wasn't prominent in this though and do wish there were a bit more from that beloved demon N'1. If you are an Artemis fan then by all means read it but don't expect it to be on par with the others.
