Artemis has committed his entire fortune to a project he believes will save the planet and its inhabitants, both human and fairy. Can it be true? Has goodness taken hold of the world’s greatest teenage criminal mastermind?
Captain Holly Short is unconvinced, and discovers that Artemis is suffering from Atlantis Complex, a psychosis common among guilt-ridden fairies – not humans – and most likely triggered by Artemis’s dabbling with fairy magic. Symptoms include obsessive-compulsive behavior, paranoia, multiple personality disorder and, in extreme cases, embarrassing professions of love to a certain feisty LEPrecon fairy.
Unfortunately, Atlantis Complex has struck at the worst possible time. A deadly foe from Holly’s past is intent on destroying the actual city of Atlantis. Can Artemis escape the confines of his mind – and the grips of a giant squid – in time to save the underwater metropolis and its fairy inhabitants?
New York Times best-selling author Eoin Colfer delivers a knockout, fast-paced, and hilarious adventure in Artemis Fowl: The Atlantis Complex, the seventh book in the blockbuster series.
Artemis have an alter ego! That's what made me interested of this seventh installment of Artemis Fowl series. Today, I've just come home from school when a postman came with a package with my name on it. I didn't even think it was a book that I ordered few months ago. I already read the ebook because I thought the package won't ever come. Now, Artemis Fowl: Atlantis Complex UK edition hardcover is in my hand :)
What The Atlantis Complex lacks in a big way though is Artemis Fowl himself. Unlike his old self, Artemis is so awkward and can't trust anyone. He looks so stupid with his 4 obsession and Orion who is so out of Artemis character--I don't like Orion, not even a little bit--.
Another weakness that I found for book 7 is that the plot is not as complex as usual; I’ve always enjoyed the unpredictable double-cross/triple-cross elements & the mind-twisting tricks that Eoin Colfer adds to the series, but maybe he’s run out of steam this time around.
Well then, let's wait for the eighth book!
