Being the fifth installment of the well-known Artemis Fowl series, The Lost Colony centers on the fourteen year-old's most recent and dastardly plan yet: meeting a demon. The thing is, he is not the only one with the plan. A twelve year-old genius herself, Minerva Paradizo plans not only to meet a demon, but to capture one and use it to nab a Noble Prize.
Of course, plans can go haywire when you least expect them to.
Eoin Colfer delivers the same action-filled and fast paced mood, the same witty one-liners, and the memorable cast of characters that made Artemis Fowl such a worldwide hit. This time though, he introduces a new character, one who just might be the match for our young genius.
The good points: To AF fans, you're going to love this fifth installment. It's got all the action and the humor, plus a dash of something else? It would be the first time you'll ever see Artemis Fowl in a (dare I say) endearing light? To new readers, this is going to be a fresh new perspective on a young hero in a young adult fantasy novel. The bad points: I thought it was a bit too short, and sometimes a bit too fast-paced for my taste. But then, that's just me. The price: At 288 php (Fully Booked) in its paperback version, I say it's a good value for your money. Other points: I can't wait to see the movie, hehe.
All in all: I give the book an eight out of ten. :) It lost two points since aside from the comment in the previous paragraph, it's darn difficult getting a copy.
