Product Description
“[Artemis Fowl] will grab your interest, no matter what your age.”
—The New York Post
Artemis has committed his entire fortune to a project he believes will save the planet and its inhabitants, both human and fairy. Can it be true? Has goodness taken hold of the world’s greatest teenage criminal mastermind?
Captain Holly Short is unconvinced, and discovers that Artemis is suffering from Atlantis Complex, a psychosis common in guilt-ridden fairies. Symptoms include obsessive-compulsive behavior, paranoia, multiple personality disorder and, in extreme cases, embarrassing professions of love to a certain feisty LEPrecon fairy.
Unfortunately, Atlantis Complex has struck at the worst possible time. A deadly foe from Holly’s past is intent on destroying the actual city of Atlantis. Can Artemis escape the confines of his mind—and the grips of a giant squid—in time to save the underwater metropolis and its fairy inhabitants?
Artemis Fowl has lost his mind... Just when the world needs him most.

 Richly satisfying in a Cliffhanger Ending sort of way. August 4, 2010

I must begin this review by telling you that this book is completely different than any other book in the series. Like, really. Artemis even discusses how the adventure was different in the Epilogue. Not that it doesn't fit in; the seat-of-the-pants adventure and delicious humour is still there. But something about it is just......different. Maybe it's the villain who is driven more by romance than anything else. Maybe it's the fact that the heroes are, the majority of the time, two steps behind said villain rather than two steps ahead. I think the second one is it. It seems like the heroes have a helpless demeanor about them most of the time. But somehow, this adds to the story rather than detracting from it. The perilous state of Artemis's mind adds an emotional level to this story that none of the other's seem to have. I thoroughly enjoyed the jaunts into Artemis's brain; the alter-ego Orion is also a delight to read about. There is something slightly darker about this book, too, which I think is a good thing. Like I said, it is a tad-more emotionally driven than the rest. I find this fascinating. Also, I was thrilled by the fact that most of the plot was a blatant set-up for a future Artemis/Holly relationship (SPOILERS: The elf having a human wife, Orion claiming that Artemis also has unspoken feelings for Holly, Holly claiming Trouble isn't her boyfriend. Is anyone else PUMPED!?). I love the way Artemis is slowly becoming a better and better person, specifically the fact that he is prepared to give all her has to the environment. I would also like to point out that The Time Paradox is NOT random as so many seem to think. It sets up a lot of plot elements in this one, mostly involving Artemis's further growth. And I have always found Artemis's growth to be my favorite part of the series, which is why I loved this installment so much.
I'm also going to inform you that I was a tad confused for the first half of the book. I felt like I was supposed to be familiar with Turnball Root, and I kept thinking "WHERE HAVE I HEARD THIS NAME BEFORE?!?!" I then remembered a story from The Artemis Fowl Files, about Holly's induction into Recon. This explains a ton of Root's bakstory, and really made the story click for me. PLEASE READ THE ARTEMIS FOWL FILES BEFORE READING THIS! It makes everything make so much more sense! The ending is strangely heart-wrenching and satisfying, despite the fact that it obviously leaves a huge cliffhanger for the 8th book. I love how you can just FEEL everything coming to a close, and I'm sure the next book will be the last (Also because Colfer has stated there will only be one more book). Although I'm certainly sad that my adventures with Artemis will be over, every story needs an end. And you can feel the build up in this novel. Anyway, I really liked this book. It certainly wasn't my absolute favorite in the series, but it has so much emotion and charm that I loved it anyway. Definitely a great addition to this series!

A great new Artemis Fowl book set in the lost city of Atlantis...well not quite. The uber talented Eoin Colfer has Artemis having to deal with 'Atlantis Complex' (obsessive compulsive disorder) which has affected him after all his dealings with magic.
Artemis has changed into a nice guy with plans to save the world! This story has a great deal of action as well as fantastic wit. The most interesting thing about the book is what is going on in Artemis' mind including his hallucinations - making this a really clever story.
All in all a brilliant story whose plot I mustn't give too much away. The characters in the Artemis Fowl are lovable, interesting and this book if not ground breaking certainly goes into areas that fantasy books rarely go.
Buy, read and enjoy!

I loved this series from the beginning.. I re read all the six books and timed this just so that I get to read the 7th book immediately after I finished the 6th book.. As always this book surpassed my expectations and made my stomach tie into knots with the plots inside plots and constant anxiety of what happens next.. After reading this I am not sure if its way too early to ask Mr.Colfer if and when he is intending to release the last book of this series 'coz I have a feeling that the way he concluded this book I am going to develop serious ulcers until I can read the ending.. Biting my nails here and biding my time.. Bravo Mr. Colfer and Thanks much for such a treat..

Lacked in pot, made up for it in character, creativity, and witticisms August 8, 2010

I adored this book but it was not my favorite in the series. Previous books had a more interesting plot and events and somehow I felt that this book lacked that. The plotline for this novel seemed anticlimatic and very much less dramatic then some of the other novels that Colfer had written in the series. Sometimes I was disappointed in the criminal aspect of this but what this story lacked in plot I felt it made up for it in character and witty conversation. Though mildly hard to understand, the plotline created was uterly unique and I enjoyed the fact that Colfer revealed to us another charming side to Artemis or his alter ego. It was very entertaining and definitely laugh-out-loud humorous. I wanted a little more save-the-world aspect in this novel, something which I automatically expected of Colfer, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Recomended- definitely.
