This is a book you read if you’ve read all the Artemis Fowl books and you are just really bored. I am not saying that this book is just to cash in on those fans of the series, but at least it is funny and if you have read all the books, it is a walk down memory lane. I did enjoy it, but it really is just for the more hardcore fan who will read anything that says Artemis Fowl. This is not a must read for any of the series, but if you stopped midway and want to pick it up again, it would give you a decent background. All in all. It was ok.
