Artemis Fowl: The Atlantis Complex Review

This one looks ok

So does this one

Released on the 20th of July 2010, the 7th book of the Artemis Fowl series follows Artemis as he suffers from a magical illness known as "Atlantis Complex" causing him to be distrustful of anyone, count everything in fives (sentences, steps, etc.), believe four as unlucky and eventually split personality
Artemis is in Iceland, demonstrating his latest experiment to Holly, Foaly and Wing Commander Vinyaya. A new technology that will save melting glaciers by snow crystals that reflect heat.
A unidentified fairy space probe suddenly crashes into their shuttle, killing Vinyaya and her team of LEP. Artemis starts to go crazy, believing that Foaly is here to steal his invention the "Ice Cube". Amorphobots roll out of the probe and start to attack them. Escaping, they eventually discover that the "evil guy" is Turnball Root, deceased Julius Root's brother who is locked away in an Atlantian Prison.

While the start is a bit confusing, the rest is good reading and locks you on like a little magnet bent on global domination.  The book is the first to feature Atlantis, the underwater metropolis complete with water elves and giant domes. While a children's book, a surprisingly large amount of people die. And the ending is bittersweet. I won't ruin it for you but Turnbull isn't trying to take over the world. Not a good deal better then the last but refreshing after dwelling with all those times with trying to stop someone stealing stuff.
There's a nice dose of action in this one aswell.
