Rezensionen für Ein Artemis-Fowl-Roman, Folge 2

Ok book. The first in the series was better. This one seemed a little disjointed. But it is a fast read.

There's something about Artemis Fowl. As a character, he is wrapped in so many shades of gray that he makes for a supremely interesting main figure in a series. Yes, it still feels preachy at times, though less so as I make progress in rereading the series, but it is unquestionably a great read for middle-grade readers, and a still-good reread for those of us who grew up with the early books.

I love Colfer's work; the Artemis Fowl books are his best, but his other works are a lot of fun too.

[hopeevey · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

Even better than the first volume :)

[benuathanasia · Bewertung: 3 von 5 Sternen]

*yawn* I really don't understand the love for this series. The world-building is weak, the characters aren't interesting, it's littered with cheap fart-jokes. WTF?

[csparks05 · Bewertung: 3 von 5 Sternen]

Fun, light reading

[carebear36 · Bewertung: 3 von 5 Sternen]

A quick read, full of adventure. The writing is good and I enjoyed the character development, which was lacking in the first book. A great adventure book with lots of creative problem solving. This is a cool series.

Artemis Fowl has grown up a bit since he last escaped with a fortune in gold from the high-tech fairies who live beneath the earth. Now at a boarding school in Ireland, Artemis' criminal genius languishes behind his schoolboy exterior. When a coded message arrives from the Russian gangsters holding his believed-to-be-dead Father, however, Artemis realizes he will have to enlist the help of the very elf he just screwed over in order to stage a rescue. This second volume in the highly lucrative Artemis Fowl series ratchets up the action and violence without skimping on the character development. Holly Short, the LEPRecon agent Artemis kidnapped in book one, is back in a desperate attempt to stop a conspiracy in her world. As she and her erstwhile captor strike a Faustian bargain to achieve their own ends, they realize that they have more in common than they ever thought possible. While its nice to see Artemis play the good guy for once, its very obvious that he's in control of everyone in his life. Holly throws a wrench in the works and makes him evaluate his position--and his legacy--from a much different perspective. How this dynamic changes with the reintroduction of his father remains to be seen. As the series goes on for at least another five books, we can expect to see the relationship played out later in excruciating detail. Colfer's humor and subversive nature show through just as strongly in the Arctic Incident as in book one. Middle School boys will love the return of Mulch, the flatulent burrowing elf, and Foaly, the grumpy centaur IT guy. With convincingly bad villains, a slightly slower pacing, and all sorts of peril, The Arctic Incident readily fulfills the promise of Artemis Fowl. Recommended for grades 6-9.

This is the second book in the Artemis Fowl series. It's a very good book and I really enjoyed reading it. In this book, Artemis learns that his father is still alive and enlists help from the fairy world. It's an interesting read and even being a girl, I enjoyed it. My husband read it also and thought that it was better than the first and filled out the storyline very well.

I finally got around to reading the next book in the Artemis Fowl series. I'm not sure why it took me so long - I really enjoyed the first one, much more than I expected. Just so many other things to read, I guess. After listening again to the first book on a road trip, though, I was inspired. This second in the series retains the characteristics of the initial book: the snarky main character Artemis, the humor that is certain to appeal to most boy readers (a little potty humor, a little slapstick, but this appeals to other types too, just to clarify), the deadly yet sensitive Butler, and the elves and fairies that are more technological than magical. It is still an interesting blend of fantasy and science fiction which I appreciate. The biggest difference was that Fowl is working with the fairies this time, under duress; but he's not so unwilling, after all. He's making the gradual transition from villain to hero, which was hinted at even in the first book.The premise of the story is that someone is working with the goblins, using fairy technology to make them faster and smarter and more dangerous. The LEP suspect Artemis, but when they kidnap him to discover information, they learn that he is not the culprit. They need help, but so does Artemis - his father is being held hostage by the Russian mafia. Now they have to work together to discover the mole in their ranks and save Fowl senior.This a fun adventure story. The plot is fast and never lets up, and the characters are distinct, interesting, and likable. You root for the good guys, you don't like the bad guys. While those dynamics may not be complex, Artemis is, at least for a kid's book protagonist. He's used to being bad, at least breaking the law and making his own rules, but he's morally good at heart. Nonetheless, he's not so comfortable at this transition from living outside the law to working with it (even if it is fairy law). Also, this story has another twist ending, not quite as interesting as that of the first novel, but still fun. An enjoyable read that keeps me interested in continuing the series.

i think this book is exciding,a thriller

[tygers_eye · Bewertung: 5 von 5 Sternen]

** spoiler alert ** Artemis Fowl:The Artic incident is a wonderful book. It contains so much suspense, especially at the last part,where Artemis makes it look like he shot his father when he really didn't and used his own blood instead. Eoin Colfer has crafted a wonderful book about many challenges, as well as incorporating magic with it.I reccomend this book for anyone who likes suspense as well as fantasy and magic.Enjoy!!!!!

Summary: Captain Holly Short, the only female fairy in the Lower Elements Police, is still smarting after her defeat at the hands of the human boy genius and criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl. So when she discovers evidence that a rogue band of goblins have been trading magical artifacts with humans, she immediately suspects that Artemis might be involved. After determining that he's innocent (at least of that charge), Holly realizes that she's going to need his help in tracking down the real culprits. However, Artemis has other matters on his mind: he's just received word that his father - missing and presumed dead for the past two years - is still alive, and being held captive by the Russian mafia... and Artemis is determined to get him back. If either of them is to have any chance of achieving their goals, however, Holly and Artemis are going to have to let go of old grudges and learn to work together.Review: These books manage to hit just the right balance of silliness and slickness, and just the right tone where they're appealing for the younger elements of the audience while retaining enough smart humor for the grown-ups. They don't take themselves too seriously, tell a good story with plenty of laughs and lots of action, and are in general bunches of fun.I thought this second installment was actually a little better than the first. It felt tighter and more cohesive, possibly because the heavy-lifting worldbuilding is already out of the way. The sub-plots were more integrated into the main story, keeping everything moving along at near-breakneck speeds. While in general I appreciate how fast these books fly by, I thought this one could stand some slowing-down in the middle; things have barely begun to go wrong for the characters before we find out who the bad guy is.The Arctic Incident was also a little more mature than Artemis Fowl - I think perhaps the plots mature as the main character does, a la Harry Potter. Not that it loses its sense of fun, or becomes serious literature or anything - there are still plenty of fart jokes to keep the young-uns entertained - but there are some issues underlying parts of the story that have some more pathos than I was expecting. Overall, though, I enjoyed this book quite a bit, and will definitely keep reading when I need a fun break. 4 out of 5 stars.Recommendation: Anyone who's looking for a bit of light, funny, fantasy action should enjoy the series, but don't start with the second book.

The second Artemis Fowl book, in which he enlists the aid of Captain Holly Short and her people to recover his missing father. This also introduces the villainous Opal Koboi, and begins a shift in the relationship between Artemis and the fairies. I am mightily impressed with the writing, characters and humor, both wry and slapstick.

[annadelcdye · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

Interesting piece. Once again Artemis manage to get involve with the faerie kin and help them take back their world after they thought he was the one instigating the revolt. In exchange holly has to help him get his father back from the Russian mafia. Good and entertaining read for early teens.

[whybehave2002 · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

I really enjoyed this book and highly suggest this series. I'm passing it on to an eight year old friend. ;)

[tigerlily12-1 · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

Loved the first, might have loved this one even a little more. The character development was fun, and the story is fast-paced and keeps your attention. Definitely check it out if you enjoyed the first in the series.

[pussreboots · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

Like the first in the series, it's a good, fun and quick read. I found the internal politics of the fairy world interesting and nicely complex. My only complaint is that this story didn't quite have the same tight pacing as the first.

[hahnasay · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

Great sequel. Perfect amount of adventure. Cant wait to read the third.

[kaipakartik_1 · Bewertung: 3 von 5 Sternen]

Another good artemis book. A fun read although I wouldn't call it a masterpiece or anything of that sort.

[johnnybrooks · Bewertung: 3 von 5 Sternen]

Decent follow up to the first Artemis Fowl book. I thought the story and pacing was not as good as in the first book, but I enjoyed it nevertheless. Thought it good enough to continue on with the next book.

[sueo23 · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

I enjoyed the second installment in this series waaaay more than the first! Artemis and his former nemesis, Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit team up to rescue his father who is being held for ransom by the Russian Mafia. It is a fast-paced rollercoaster of a story, which serves to show us a softer side to Artemis. It is obvious he has been missing his father terribly and is also worried about his mother's health and state of mind. Nice to see Artemis growing up a bit and the banter between him and Holly is terrific. Definitely a series heading in the right direction!

[amcheri-1 · Bewertung: 3 von 5 Sternen]

I've been listening to the audio books with my 9 year old son and have to say that I've enjoyed them.

[floratina · Bewertung: 3 von 5 Sternen]

READ IN DUTCH

These books are a nice and quick read. Perfect for, for example. a cold winter day when you don't want to go outside and just cuddle up with a book.



I liked this book a bit better than the first one in the series. It's still a children's book, but for me that isn't a real problem every once in a while. I liked the search for Artemis' father, and the faeries of course. I'd planned to continue reading this series, but somehow I forgot about it, as I've never read another book. I guess I'll put them on my list again.

[altheaann · Bewertung: 1 von 5 Sternen]

This is Book 2 in Colfer's Artemis Fowl series - I read the first one, wasn't all that into it, but sort of wanted to like the series enough that I read this one too. Nope - still wasn't very into it.
In this one, the 13-year-old amoral genius Artemis Fowl gets a little bit less amoral, as he ventures to the radioactive (why?) Arctic to rescue his father, who's been kidnapped by the Russian "Mafiya." At the same time, the LEPrecon headquarters gets taken over by a traitor in their midst, and in order for them to both solve their problems, Artemis and the fairy Holly Short must team together - and even recruit a criminal dwarf to help out.
The book is, I believe, aimed at kids around 10-12 years old. It's a bit too simplistic for me, I can't get into the Fairy Police Force being exactly like a human police force, and the humor is rather crude (lots of fart jokes).
This may be other people's cup of tea... but not really mine.

[kr_patterson · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

I love Artemis Fowl. I loved that I could listen to this book while in the car with my kids, unlike a lot of other books I've read lately. And, of course, it is very witty, which I always enjoy. What I liked in particular about this book was to see the human/vulnerable side of Artemis exposed.

[arkhamreviews · Bewertung: 3 von 5 Sternen]

This book was certainly an improvement on its prequel. The story is a lot more action-packed this time around and the stakes are far higher for both Artemis and the Fairies. Although it lacked the clever twist of the previous book, I did enjoy the way that the rival parties were forced to put aside their differences and work together this time around and appreciated that the environmentalist message, while still present, was muted.However, it was still far from perfect. The characterisation is generally lacking. There wasn't much development to be had this time around, especially for the incredibly 2-dimensional villains. While Artemis and Holly did grow closer over the story, this was largely indicated through exposition as the two seemed to do very little to earn each other's trust. Other than the part on the train, I don't think they really worked closely together at all.It should be also noted that this novel does not really have the wider appeal of some of the series that it is often compared to. There is still a bit of a reliance on toilet humor and the world building and characters never seem all that detailed. Children aged 10-12 will probably enjoy it but it never felt as though it would crossover well into other age groups.

[cheryl_in_cc_nv · Bewertung: 2 von 5 Sternen]

well, maybe 2.5 stars... It was clever, but I'm just not into plot driven adventures, even if they are aimed at children. I tried it because the ratings for it were higher than they were for the first, but as I was finishing it I realized that it makes logical sense, because the people who read #2 are the people who liked #1! (Iow, those of us who rated #1 lowly didn't assign ratings to #2 because we didn't read it, so we didn't bring the average rating down.) So anyway, I'm pretty sure that now I'm done with the series. I will say that it's well enough done that if you do like it, I totally respect your opinion. :)

So here we find out villainous little young friend again. He has successfully bargained with the fairies to restore his mother's sanity. Now, as luck would have it, they need him for something so he gets to bargain with them again. It turns out Artemis was right all along and his father is still alive after all!

This is a fun story of adventure and action and thrills and deviousness that will keep any young man on the edge of his seat as he reads it. This is just the type of thing my 10 year old son would love and I, as his mom, am almost fearful to let him read lest he glean ideas from the deviousness contained within it's pages.

The story, however, is well written with vivid imagery and just enough desciptiveness to keep you feeling like you are really living in the world of the story.

This is a fun, quick read that will be a great addition to any library.

[lcoale1 · Bewertung: 3 von 5 Sternen]

This is a really everyday book, nothing special about it and nothing of note. It isn't bad, but it's not phenomenal by any means, either.
