This one just kind of rambled. After waiting so long for another one of the series,.. I was disappointed and didn't feel it took you through the highs and lows as the others had before. Still wouldn't have missed it........

While I throughly enjoyed Darkest Fire, Darkest Prison was not as good. I was glad they released the shorts in a book together so you can catch the ones you missed.

I couldn't read this book because of the violence. I'm sure it's very good and important and relevant, but I couldn't read it.

I’ve always had mixed feelings about this entry into the Artemis Fowl series. On the one hand we’re treated to the same jam-packed action and adventure fare that we’ve come to expect from the series, and The Lost Colony adds several interesting new dimensions to the fairy underworld, in the form of the demons and dimensional magic. Undoubtedly the stakes are once again sky high, creating just the sort of edge-of-the-seat tension we know and love in Artemis Fowl. There’s humour to be had too, from the witticisms of our main characters to the sublime, laugh out loud ridiculous. On the other hand, it’s a minor point but too much time is spent on the backstories of the secondary characters, but what I never liked about this book can be summed up in two words. Minerva Paradizo. Artemis Fowl was a great concept. He’s a young prodigy of singular intellect who figures out the existence of fairies and whose adventures with them cause him to mend his criminal self-interested ways and mature as a person. Minerva Paradizo, who coincidentally also bears the name of a goddess, is a young prodigy of singular intellect who also, coincidentally, figures out the existence of fairies and is determined to use them for her own selfish ends, until, coincidentally, Artemis and his friends teach her the wider implications of her actions. What’s more, 14 year old Artemis has hit puberty and developed a burgeoning crush on Minerva. Is anyone else seeing the problem here? Minerva Paradizo is a Ms Pac-Man. She’s a complete carbon-copy of Artemis Fowl, just female, right down to her having the name of a goddess. Not only is this incredibly boring and uninventive, but it detracts from the unique-ness of the main character. The whole point of Artemis’ character was that he was unique and he alone among humans had figured out the existence of fairies. That made him the go-to when the fairies needed a human on the inside, so to speak, to stop the wider world discovering their existence, and was the primary reason behind him getting roped into all these adventures. What’s worse is that the sole reason for Minerva Paradizo’s existence is to be Artemis’ love interest. Colfer has just pulled a cartoon trope on us and assumed that the perfect love interest for Artemis is, well, himself but with a bow. What made this particularly annoying to me when I first read the book years ago was that it seemed obvious to me that in the previous books of the series Artemis and Holly were clearly being set up for future potential romance. Okay, I know you’re looking at me askew now because Artemis is not-quite-15 in this book whilst Holly is, we are told, over 80 years old, although being an elf with the usual long elf lifespan we’re led to believe from her description, manner, and stage in her life that she’s probably at the elf equivalent of her mid-twenties. Granted it probably would be weird if there was an actual Artemis/Holly pairing in the series at this point. But the seeds were definitely being sown for the future; Holly winked. ‘Do I look like a fly boy to you, Fowl?’ Artemis had to admit that she didn’t. Captain Short was extremely pretty in a dangerous sort of way. Black widow pretty. Artemis was expecting puberty to hit in approximately eight months, and he suspected that at that point he would look at Holly in a different light. – page 223, The Arctic Incident ‘Will you miss him, Holly?’ he asked suddenly. Holly was caught off-guard by the question. ‘Miss who?’ she said, though she already knew. ‘The Fowl boy, of course. If everything goes according to plan, we’ll be wiped from his memory. No more wild plots or seat-of-the-pants adventures. It will be a quiet life.’ Holly made to avoid Foaly’s gaze, although the helmet was point-of-view and the centaur could not see her. ‘No,’ she said. ‘I will not miss him.’ But her eyes told the real story. – page 223, The Eternity Code The whirlpool’s funnel grew narrower, forcing Holly and Artemis together. They were swept diagonally down in a flurry of bumping torsos and flapping limbs. They pressed their foreheads together, finding some comfort in each other’s eyes. – page 189, The Opal Deception ‘Holly, let me look at you,’ he said again, holding her shoulders. Something in Artemis’ voice made Holly stop what she was doing and pay attention. This was not a tone Artemis Fowl used very often. It could almost class as tenderness. – page 294, The Lost Colony Holly helped Artemis out of his chair. ‘We never get to hang out,’ she said. Artemis half chuckled. ‘I know. There’s always a crisis.’ ‘If it’s not goblin gangs, it’s time-travelling demons.’ Holly kissed him on the cheek. ‘That was probably dangerous. You being a pubescent volcano.’ ‘I’ve got it under control, just about.’ Holly pointed to her new blue eye. ‘We’ll always be a part of each other now.’ Artemis tapped the cheek below his fairy hazel eye. ‘I’ll keep an eye out for you.’ ‘Was that a joke? My goodness, you are changing.’ Artemis was a little dazed. ‘Well, apparently I’m almost eighteen.’ ‘God help us all. Artemis Fowl, eligible to vote.’ Artemis chuckled. ‘I’ve been voting for years.’ He tapped his ring-phone. ‘Call you later.’ ‘I have a feeling we’ll have a lot to talk about.’ – page 371, The Lost Colony C'maaaaawn, you can't tell me it isn't being hinted at. Well, just my opinion but I felt that Minerva Paradizo was an ill-conceived misstep on Colfer's part - not very well drawn as a character on her own merits, and rather throwing the carefully built up Artemis/Holly dynamic out the window. I hope the series puts this one bad apple behind it - the next book will be another re-read for me, but the last two books in the series have come out since I read the series back in the day and will be completely new to me, so who knows. 6 out of 10

Carl Hiaasen writes entertaining, fast paced stories. Whenever I pick up one of his books I get sucked into the story and I find it hard to put it down. They aren't particularly memorable and I forget them just as quickly as I read them. I certainly have no recollection of what this book was about. But if you are looking for a fun and easy read then Hiaasen almost always delivers!

Novel in verse with another 'hidden' story woven into the structure of the novel. Two girls who shared a traumatic event when they were eight 'reunite' in a way at a summer camp and end up hashing everything out. Helen Frost did a great job devising two different ways to voice the girls, but the bow on their stories was a little too shiny for me.
