In the last few months, Caramel read and reviewed the first six books in Eoin Colfer’s Artemis Fowl series. Today he is reviewing the seventh book, Artemis Fowl and the Atlantis Complex, first published in 2010. As usual, Sprinkles is taking notes and asking questions.
{In case you are interested, here are Caramel’s reviews of the previous six books: Artemis Fowl, Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident, Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code, Artemis Fowl and the Opal Deception, Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony, Artemis Fowl and the Time Paradox.]
Sprinkles: So Caramel, we are coming to the end of this Artemis Fowl series.
Caramel: Unfortunately.
S: I know! There is one more book left after this one. But I understand there are a few more books about Artemis’s twin brothers.
C: Maybe I could read those, too. But I really like Artemis, so I will miss him.
S: Well, the good news is that you do not have to miss him yet. We have this seventh book to talk about today, and then there is an eighth book to look forward to.
C: True.
S: Okay, so without any more delay, let us dive right in. So the title mentions the Atlantis Complex. What is that supposed to be?
C: It is a disease that causes the person that gets it to sort of lose their mind. And of course, Artemis Fowl catches it.
S: That sounds terrifying. But then again, Artemis has faced so many mind-boggling and frightening challenges before, I don’t know if this is scarier.
C: Maybe not, but the story is just as exciting to read!
S: So how does he catch this disease? And is that the main plot line? I mean, is that the main story?
C: Yes, pretty much. It all starts with Artemis and his friends on a glacier in Iceland, with Artemis introducing his new device to fight global warming. As he is giving a speech, people start realizing he is not alright. Then his friends try to save him. And of course they get into all sorts of outlandish trouble.
S: That is a fancy word you’re using there, Caramel!
C: Well, I think it is the right word.
S: Okay, I believe you. You mentioned friends. So do we see a lot of characters from the earlier books, then?
C: Yes. Holly and Butler are there. And Foaly and Mulch Diggums and Butler’s daughter Juliet. And so on.
S: Okay, so this was book seven. Looking back would you recommend other young bunnies to get their paws on any book in this series?
C: Yes, all of them! I told you before. I like all of these books.
S: True, you did tell me that. So this book was also great, and your opinion of the series has not changed.
C: No it has not. It is still good. And fun.
S: So how would you like to describe this book using three to five words?
C: Amazing adventures in ice and sea.
S: Ooh, that sounds fun!
C: It is.
S: Okay, so let us wrap up this review so you can move on to the last book.
C: Oh, that makes me sad and excited at the same time.
S: I totally understand Caramel. But all good things come to an end.
C: So they say.
S: And what will you say, before we end this review?
C: Stay tuned for more book bunny reviews! And blurbs!

I am surprised to see you refer to Artemis as “he”..
In my opinion Artemis should be a “she”, because the first Artemis was a goddess, and therefore Artemis is definitely a feminen name.😳🙄

We thought so too at first, but apparently in Greek, it is often used for both genders… And this character is very much a boy.

Both our comments are the same. How did he catch the disease and more importantly, was he cured, or not?

Good questions! Apparently we are not sure about how he got the disease. It might be because he was messing around with magic that he should not have been doing, and it is a fairy disease that happens to people who do that. And he gets cured but it takes time. All the way till the last book, which starts with his last session of therapy for his issue. And we will learn more about that last book next week 🙂
