Title: Artemis Fowl and The Opal Deception
Author: Eoin Colfer
Genre: YA, Fantasy
Rating: 8/10
# pages: 332
Date read: June, 2007
Summary: To all appearances, Opal Koboi, pixie and archenemy of the fairies, is under close surveillance as she lies in a coma. Artemis Fowl, the brilliant 14-year-old criminal mastermind, has had his mind wiped clean of all knowledge of fairies, and, therefore, of all prior goodness he has learned. When the real Opal escapes and leaves behind a DNA-perfect clone of herself, her revenge against all those who opposed her commences with deadly fury. Among the barrage of high-tech gadgets and continuous action sequences and plot twists are moments that give even Artemis Fowl pause as he contemplates friendship, responsibility, and death.
Review: After having been rather disappointed by book 3 in the series, it took me awhile to get around to reading book 4. I was very pleasantly surprised by this one though. The charm is back and the cool characters of the first two books are back. Eoin Colfer doesn't pull any punches. It surprised me hugely that she killed off Root, but I can see how it was necessary for the story.
