Finished this today feeling like it could have had more. Yes, Eoin Colfer's wit is still in place, but I thought that it was just finished too quick. There was really only three different action set-pieces in the story, and the first of these takes over half the book, which was quite drawn-out.
I did like Artemis' multiple-personality order and his fear of the number four, a superstition I have myself!
I enjoyed the book, but really, not much happened in it and it seems to be just a pathway to the next book, which I hope isn't too far behind. There wasn't enough of the description of Atlantis either, the city which has been alluded to in other books, but never explored. Hopefully Eoin Colfer will use Atlantis as the setting for a future Artemis.
Rating 3.5/5
Anyone read it? Anyone read any of these? Let's get some talking going!
