Greatest book ever

Deep in a wintry lake in Russia lies a freighter with tons of cargo along with the multi-millionaire Mr. Fowl, Artemis' father. With no warning at all, the back of the freighter is blown to parts. In a matter of minutes, the ship sinks taking everyone with it, including Mr. Fowl. Back in Ireland everyone thinks that Artemis' dad is dead, but Artemis still senses that his dad is still out there. So he calls up an old friend: Captain Holly Short. She has her own problems though. Someone is supplying the goblins with AA batteries to power one of the most powerful weapons underground. The worst part, the goblins are planning a full-blown attack on the underground city of Haven. Here's the fishy part though, the goblins aren't even smart enough to turn on a light switch. Holly knows that someone else is behind this, but who? Will Artemis ever find his father? Will the magical creatures stop the goblin attack on Haven? Read the book to find out! Second book in the series. I highly recommend it!

Better than the first book!

If you enjoyed the first Artemis Fowl book, you HAVE to read this one! It has so much more action and suspense, including a part where Artemis has to slowly crawl through a tube of plasma! That was awesome!! This book is also emotionally moving. I almost cried at the end, and I've only done that with one other book out of the many books I've read in my lifetime. I would also recommend this book for anyone who loves Sci-Fi/Fantasy. You will not be disappointed by this one bit if you thought the first one was at least sort of cool!

A great book for all Artemis fans out there

Irish criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl has discovered a fairy race underground. He has extorted gold from them and the fairy police- LEPrecon
have been on his tail ever since for supplying power cells to the Goblin gangs. This thread continues from the previous book on 'Artemis Fowl'.

But that's not the half of it. The Russian Mafia are holding Artemis's father to ransom in the Arctic Circle. On top of that - an evil pixie plans the destruction of the fairy civilization, and Artemis realizes that even a wicked genius needs help sometimes. They can come from the most unlikely places...

Colfer made this story fast, humorous and very exciting. From mind-wipers to laser guns through battery-powered crafts and anti-radiation suits, it makes gadgets from James Bond's Q look like child's play.

I like the futuristic gadgetry that Colfer invented; it gave me a rather cool imagination of how these new weapons could come to use. For example, there are 2 types of mind-wipes, 1. that wipes out any previous events 2. wipes out the total memory; Neutrino 3000, is a laser gun that vaporizes stuff .. and so on.

I'd highly recommend this book to kids and teens who have a vast imagination, like in cartoons, and action packed story with genius twists. Read on, but things are about to get frosty!

Cornwall,NY Sixth Grader

I am a sixth grader. The book Artemis Fowl, The Arctic Incident by Eoin Colfer is a good book. It is very action packed and had a great setting! The plot is when the main character, Artemis, is emailed by a man who was kidnapped by the Russian mafia. Artemis meets many familiar characters from other novels, like former Nemesis Holly Short. I thought this book was cool! It reminds me of The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. Both books involve magic, children and Artemis. My favorite part was an exciting battle with magical creatures. There was also a great chase scene. If you read this imagine that you're in the book. You will have to get used to books like this. It is short and makes a lot of sense. This book should be read by many people, especially 10 and older. So read it if you dare!!!!!

Artemis is not all evil

The evil boy-genius criminal mastermind is at his evilest at the start of this funny and action-packed story. However, in Artemis' search for his father his heart does warm. A little bit. So does that of his fairy-cop enemy, Holly. A little bit.

The Arctic Incident is the second novel of the Artemis Fowl series which starts with Artemis Fowl, where I have a longer review. The series should be read in order.
