Description

"Artemis Fowl and the Opal Deception" is the fourth phenomenal book in the legendary "Artemis Fowl" series by Eoin Colfer. Arch-Criminal Artemis Fowl's mind has been wiped. Now someone wants him dead. Artemis Fowl is the only boy ever to have discovered an armed and dangerous fairy race living below ground. He just can't remember any of it. But Artemis needs his memory back - and fast - because a power-crazed pixie is out for revenge, secretly scheming to overthrow the Lower Elements Police. If only Artemis' one fairy ally, Captain Holly Short, wasn't on the run. Everyone is depending on him. And with Holly gone, Artemis is depending on a flatulent dwarf. Things are about to explode..."Hugely satisfying - not to be missed". ("Irish Independent"). "Engagingly vivid, exciting and witty". ("The Telegraph"). "Fast, funny and very exciting". ("Daily Mail"). "Artemis Fowl" was winner of the WHSmith Children's Book of the Year Award and Children's Book of the Year at the Children's Book Awards. It is shortlisted for the Whitbread Children's Book of the Year Award. Eoin Colfer was born and raised in Wexford in the south-east of Ireland. He began writing plays at an early age and, as an adult, continued to write. "Artemis Fowl", his first book featuring the brilliant young anti-hero, was an immediate international bestseller and won several prestigious awards.

  • Eoin isn't very convincing in killing characters. As usual, Genius Artemis Fowl prevails. His wit and charms can disarm any fairy, good or bad.

  • Remember what happened last time? The LEP decide that Fowl is a security risk to the Fairies and so Foaly wipes the minds of Fowl and Butler. Then they rest easy thinking that is the last of Artemis and his schemes. But in this book disaster strikes. Opal Koboi has come out of her coma and she is vowing revenge on those who foiled her plans before. So that's bad news for Short, Root, Foaly, Mulch and of course Artemis and Butler.Koboi frames Short for murder and Short therefore has no other possibility than to go back up to earth for Artemis's help once again. The trouble is, he can't remember anything about the Fairies or his previous adventures with the LEP. But he needs to try to remember fast because Koboi and her cohorts are coming after them - and she isn't coming around for tea and cookies!This book contains a LOT of plot developments and big changes in the Artemis Fowl storylines. So this book is very important to read if you are an Artemis fan like me. After the shocks of this book, the Artemis books won't be the same again! But then again, maybe it opens up new opportunities and possibilities for the next book in the series?This book is highly recommended. I found it impossible to put it down. Once again, Mulch Diggums and Foaly are the heroes who kick some serious bottom.
