Another Excellent Artemis Fowl 2008-06-25
Purchased the Audio CDs for travel, and just like the other 3 books, Nathaniel Parker does an excellent job in narrating. If you enjoy Jim Dale (Harry Potter Series), you'll enjoy Nathaniel Park too.
Book 4 offers a ton of adventure and suspense, but also contains highs and lows in the story line. Like every Artemis Book, it leaves you wanting more.

Like most fairy tales this is an enjoyable one that ends with a happy ending. The plot is well written and you'll enjoy the elf's and fairies all the way. So open the book read and enjoy.
A shocker! 2008-03-19
Just when I was worried the Artemis Fowl books would fall into a rut, here comes the Opal Deception! From a shocking death early in the book to the continued original ideas that Artemis, Holly, and Mulch come up with, this book shows that Eoin Colfer is not content to just sit back and ride the gravy train that he has created without making the readers continue to care about his characters. Artemis has changed as much in these four books as Harry Potter did in his books, and I can't wait to see what comes next!
Artemis Fowl The Opal Deception 2008-03-10
Criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl is back.and so is his cunning enemy from Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident, Opal Koboi. At the start of the fourth adventure, Artemis has returned to his unlawful ways. He's in Berlin, preparing to steal a famous impressionist painting from a German bank. He has no idea that his old rival, Opal, has escaped from prison by cloning herself. She's left her double behind in jail and, now free, is exacting her revenge on all those who put her there, including Artemis.
Amazon Undependable 
2008-02-06
Amazon is undependable.They indicate it's been shipped and it never was. When I called them they appoligized and said would resend 2 day no charge. Again they lied, it never came and they didn't notify me. They said backordered for another month. You can't count on them at all.
Opal stirs up trouble 2007-11-18
The devious Opal Kobi is back and serving up a whole lot of destruction towards the underground eautopia. She especially wants to kill Captian Holly Short and her gang of freinds, who foiled her plan to take over Haven City in the second book of the Series. The best scene in the book was when Holly and Artemis had to escape from the trolls at Artemis' tower. It was the most action pact part of the story and showed so much detail that you felt like you were there. Like when Artimis cuts his leg, you can almost feel his pain. The poor performance in the story was the concept of Opal Kobi coming back out of a coma and no one noticing it even with the LEP advance technology. In my opinion, instead of Opal, there should have been a new character to play the evil villian. There is a lot of hardship and drama but Eoin keeps the same comical action in a book that twists and turns as you read. The expolosive details in his writing keep you from putting the book down. Just like the other books, the comedy between Artimis and Holly is fun to read. I have to admit it wasn't the best book out of the series but if you are interested in the 5th book then you have to read this one.
great service 2007-10-17
Amazon made me aware that this book was now being released in hardback (my preferred format) after I had attempted to find it without success in the past. I was delighted! Good service, good looking out for me, the customer. I am very pleased! Keep up the good work, Amazon!
"You are exactly how you were when we first met" 2007-09-27
Colfer has been doing an impressive job with this series, with great character development, enthralling plots and full-speed action. This case is no different, except for the fact that the story turns a little darker, when compared to the previous three books. This is understandable, since it allows the author to get to the next level in the story, and that is exactly what he has done.
At the end of "The Eternity Code", the fairies wiped the minds of Artemis and his friends. One of the most relevant consequences from this decision was that the progress Artemis had made towards becoming a "better person" was halted. Now we find him going back to his old ways and planning heists with his faithful sidekick Butler. Meanwhile, something is going awfully awry in the fairy world. Opal Koboi, the mastermind behind the goblin uprising, is in a psych ward faking a catatonic condition. In reality, she is planning her revenge, which includes getting back at Captain Holly Short, Foaly the centaur, Commander Root, and of course, Artemis Fowl.
Holly is going through a tough patch. Even though she hated Artemis for a while, she had established a friendship with him, and now she feels she lost that. The fact that she is in line for a promotion does not help in the least, since this means a reduction in field missions and fewer trips to the world of the Mud Men. When Koboi starts striking back at those Holly loves, she needs to gather her wits and fight back, regardless of how insurmountable the odds look.
I am completely satisfied with the experience of reading the fourth book in this series. I think that Colfer is becoming even more proficient in using the unusual characters he has created for delivering some really fine humor. He really did kick it up a notch in this sense. If you enjoy characters with a healthy amount of sarcasm, then you have to be delighted by the passages dealing with Foaly and Mulch Diggums. The latter is one of my favorite characters in this series, and the things he does with his body usually crack me up.
If you have been following this series, I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed by this new installment. For those that are new to Artemis Fowl, my recommendation is to go back to Book 1 and read them in order. To finish, I'll just quote Colfer..."More to follow".
