The Atlantis Complex (2010)

Artemis Fowl ha perdido la cabeza. No hay ninguna duda. Es imposible que una de las mayores mentes criminales tanto de la Tierra como del subsuelo se proponga salvar el planeta. Y aún lo es más que quiera salvarlo del cambio climático# Sencillamente, no es propio de él. Al verdadero Artemis le importan un comino el deshielo de los polos, la extinción de los bosques y la capa de ozono. Además, ha pedido ayuda a las criaturas mágicas# Artemis Fowl hijo, el inteligente, autosuficiente y prepotente Artemis, ha pedido ayuda. ¿Se ha vuelto bueno de verdad? ¿Será su nueva misión una tapadera de intereses ocultos? ¿O ha perdido la chaveta? Sea como sea, la capitana Holly Canija tiene que hacer lo que sea para recuperar al antiguo Artemis: hordas de robots están atacando la ciudad subterránea de Atlántida y él es el único capaz de detenerlos. Lectura recomendada de 9 a 14 años.

I may be biased but IMHO this is the weakest book in the series.

I was positively gleeful to start reading another Fowl book, what with The Time Paradox being the most exciting and incredibly outstanding.
Sadly I crash-landed in a not so superb next adventure.

Somehow the Paradox ended on the ending note for me: good story, strong sentiments and a confession of all worldly (and underworldly) deeds.

This one wasn't bad. But I found it strongly lacking.
Like an unfulfilled promise, somehow ( )

I love Artemis Fowl stories....I think there is another one out....I better go check! I started this series about 8 years ago and listened to the first one, which I think helped to get me hooked. I loved the new story line and poor Artemis getting The Atlantis Complex.

I lost track of where I was in the Artemis Fowl series. I found it again! Yeah! By the way, Holly is my kids' tooth fairy....just saying. ( )

This book was idiotic. I can just see Colfer's spurned lover/annoyed teenage kid/pet monkey laughing at this magnificent trick (s)he managed to pull. (Namely, writing a book in his name and publishing it.)

If you, like me, enjoyed the first installments in the Artemis Fowl world, and thought "oh, Artemis making a fool out of himself would be funny!"... Then boy, are you NOT in for a treat.

Everything, and I mean everything, comes off as contrived and stupid - no, moronic. Believe me. I might read the next one if I was feeling masochistic or hopeful, but honestly, I hope I don't. Whoops, I just puked over this whole review, and it still stinks less than the book. ( )

Sadly I did not enjoy the ending, maybe I was too young when I first read it so I didn't understand? ( )
