Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony by Eoin ColferMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This book was a great page-turner; especially when Minerva’s bodyguards got bored with her antics and decided to pursue their own goals. No-one predicted that and it was quite sudden how they dropped their loyalties. But I found that the action got a little confusing towards the end. I felt that Colfer is getting a bit lazy with some of his characters. Names like Doodah Day and Mr. Paradizo are hardly creative; but then again most of his characters are named as puns after what they do or what they are. I would have have liked to have seen Artemis do a bit more battle with Minerva; once they realise that they share a common goal and she is relieved of her own conflicts there is no use for her whatsoever other than a developmental character to develop Artemis. She doesn’t contribute either, she only compliments. But it’s good to see that Artemis is developing and is moving away from the stereotypical evil genius.
