[.ca] Artemis Fowl 4: Opal Deception (ISBN 0307243303)

Keep it up Colfer:
This is a good book in a great series that makes a fun and quick read. The villain from The Arctic Incident returns to plague all the characters we love, including young Artemis Fowl, manservant Butler, the elf Captain Holly Short and her commander Julius Root, the centaur Foaly, and the notorious criminal dwarf Mulch Diggums. Add the usual sarcasm, hillarious moments, and criminal ingenuity, you have another amazing book in this amazing series. I truly enjoy the entire series and look forward to the next book. In fact I like reading series. A new series os so far three books, that I recently discovered and will definitely continue reading, is "Why Some Cats are Rascals" - Delightful.

One of the best series out there!!!:
Eoin Colfer has done it again with this non-stop action novel. Comical and fast paced, this is a real page turner as boy genius Artemis, Holly, Butler, and Mulch try to stop the evil pixie Opal Koboi, who has awaken, broken out of prison, and is exacting her revenge on the 2 worlds and their inhabitants. But stopping her will be anything but easy for Artemis and friends. Opal's evil plan is like the tangle of a spider's web. And then there's Artemis. His memories gone, Artemis will have to remember his past in order to stop Opal and save both worlds from certain doom. A brillant tale. Another book I've enjoyed: The alien invasion adventure "GAAK" by Darryl Hughes. It's a wonderful adventure for scifi fans of all ages.

Great book:
This book is great. Its a great sequel to the other Artemis Fowl books and a must read for any fan. The one thing I didn't like about it was at the beginning my FAVOURITE CHARACTER DIED! I am going to KILL Eoin Colfer! But other than that, you have to read it.

Good sequel to the rest:
One main thing I was disappointed in, was that the title of this book gave things away. The Opal Deception is about none other... than Opal! Shockingly (not), Opal Koboi makes her comeback as the bad guy. Artemis is needed once more to help save the People from her plan to overturn the Mud Men (humans) and the People (fairies), rule over them all. The drawback? In the last novel, Artemis and the gang finally had their minds wiped, so they don't remember a thing. Holly has to race against time to find Artemis and get his memory back. There is one suprising death in this novel, of a character from all the books (I won't give it away though!). Opal Deception is also filled with cliffhangers and both new and old characters. It's a good sequel to the other books, but I think my favourite is still The Eternity Code. If you've read the series, this is a must read. It's also a good addition to your bookshelf, and good as a lighter read.

Artemis Fowl The Opal Deception:
Artemis Fowl The Opal Deception After "Artemis Fowl the Eternity Code", a spectacular new book was released to continue with this exciting series by Eoin Colfer. This book I'm talking about is "Artemis Fowl the Opal Deception". In this book there are new laughs, a new adventure, and new characters and old characters. You may not recall this particular villain because she was sent to prison before the Artemis Fowl series was started. Her name is Opal Koboi. In this book Opal has escaped from prison and now she is killing people who sent her to jail. It is up to Holy to find Artemis and get his memory back before Opal kills her and Artemis. This book is set in modern time, a year after Artemis is brain washed. What brain washed means is that someone loses all of their memory or what the person who is doing the brain washing wants erased. The person who got brain washed continues on with life as before, not remembering what memory has lost. Most books have good V.S. evil but in this book it's bad partnering up with good to eliminate evil. I think that someone who is "bad" partnering with good is really interesting because it is interesting to see how they work together, interact, talk and respond. The personality of these characters have somewhat changed since the last book. Opal Koboi is very impatient and always wants it her way; she is a very smart villain, so she almost gets her way all the time. Julius Root was very stern, but in this book he is more happy and open to Holy and Foaly. Artemis, the greedy little criminal mastermind starts to change in the book, he thinks about being just a regular boy, enjoying life and quitting crime. Holy's personality hasn't changed; she is still really focused on her job, but this time she is in grave danger. Holy is extremely focused on not getting arrested by the Leprecon police, finding Artemis and not getting killed by Opal Koboi. Artemis's dad is now talking to Artemis about quitting crime and becoming a better father. He also talks about the Fowl family becoming a regular family. Butler, now older than he was before is now slower to help save Artemis, but is still protecting Artemis as best he can. The theme of this book is revenge. For example; Opal is out to kill everyone who sent her to jail. Friendship, is shown by Holy and Artemis depending on their friendship to save one another. Also, another example is if it wasn't for Artemis's friendship with Butler, Butler wouldn't be looking for Artemis. Finally survival, this is demonstrated by Holy and Artemis trying to survive Opal's treacherous plans to kill them. Also, it is demonstrated by Foaly trying to survive Opal's horrible plans. This is a fiction book because in real life a 13 year old kid wouldn't be a criminal master mind, fairies don't just pop out of nowhere and centaurs don't exist in present time. This book is a very suspenseful book because it is very exciting, suspenseful, and descriptive and page turning. I think this book stands out because a bad person is actually our hero, in most books a "good" person is our hero but not in this book. I also think that Eoin Colfer has done a really great job on this book because the writing paints a picture in the reader's head and the words make it very exciting. I also think that this is better than the previous book because it has more of a problem, more page turning and more excitement. I would rate this book 9 out of ten stars because it paints a picture in my head, it had some funny parts and it had very sad parts. I highly recommend this book because it has an exciting plot, descriptive words, an exciting adventure and it teaches something to the reader. If you are some one who likes Eoin Colfer books, you should read this book. If you are someone who is looking for a new book to start try this book. Lastly, if you are someone who likes "darker" type of books you might want keep this book in mind.
