"I have to start out by saying that I am a big fan of the covers of this series. This one in particular is not very appealing to me. Despite this, I was already invested in the series, and had to continue. I quickly got over my issue with the cover, and became mesmerized with the story. Demon N01 is a great new addition to the cast of characters, and I hope that he will be a regular within the rest of the books. The addition of demons to the fairly world brings a more powerful aspect of magic to the table, which really excites me. Artemis is still become more humane with each passing book, and all of the changes that are present at the end of the book leave with high hopes for the next in the series. The only thing that I was a little disappointed with was the lack of Mr. Diggums. He proved very useful at the beginning, but was sort of written off as things go more intense. I found myself missing the flatulent humor he brought about. That aside, it was the best in the series so far, and the end really drives you to see what happens next."

The Lost Colony Artemis Fowl Book 5 Eoin Colfer 9781368036962 Books Reviews
- After reading through the Harry Potter and Percy Jackson books - we needed a new series for our nightly family story reading time. This is an interesting Magical world that treats magical creatures as matter-of-fact.The characters are really interesting and strongly written , there is a little more emphasis on tech- gadgets than Percy Jackson or Harry Potter (our guys love them ) This book of the series introduces a new type of magical creature and as usual for this series, the main characters have to use their heads to get themselves out of their predicament.There were some interesting plot twists we didn't expect but really enjoyed. We liked this one )
- This Is not a (Graphic Novels)
- Seriously, I could listen to Nathaniel Parker read stock reports, the city directory or the "terms of use" boilerplate that accompanies software installation packages.
He is wonderful.
Parker also reads the Young James Bond series which are so vivid in my mind now, I may never read the Higson books. I prefer to listen to them.
I'd never listened to an Artemis Fowl book before, and I did not even notice the name of the narrator. When I heard Parker's dulcet tones begin the book, I did a little happy dance around the house.
Artemis is on a mission to save the fairy world. The stoic Butler is still at his side. Artemis is feeling the effects of puberty which, hilariously, foil his concentration on occasion. While hunting demons, he encounters a new rival, the lovely Minerva Paradizo (oh, how I love Colfer's characters' names) who is the same age as Artemis and just as brilliant. She hopes to trap a fairy and impress the Nobel prize committee with her discoveries.
Holly Short has quit LEPRecon following the death of her old boss, Julius Root and now earns her living with Mulch Diggums, as a Lower Elements bounty hunter. She re-teams with Artemis and Foaly in order to save their world from an unstable time tunnel.
Colfer's books are action thrillers full of explosions, car chases and techno gadgetry. They are also packed with stacks of humor, witty dialog and topical references that keep them fresh. What keeps me coming back though, are the underlying ethical and moral issues that are at the core of the tales. The fun of the Artemis stories is how he remains a fast-thinking, law-bending, conniver with a conscience and a heart. - Throughout the series, Artemis, a criminal mastermind teen, has been learning to be a good guy. In this book, that transformation is pretty much complete. Former LEP Captain Holly Short is called back into service in Foaly's new (and very well-funded) post in the secretive Section Eight. Demons, the Eighth Family of the Fairy People, have begun appearing on Earth, and Artemis Fowl seems to be able to predict when and where. But someone else, another genius child named Minerva Paradizo, has figured it out, too, and manages to capture a small imp named No. 1. Artemis agrees to help Holly and the Fairies rescue the imp before more humans find out about him and start searching for more -- which might lead them to the Fairy underground
As the series evolves, Artemis has lost the last traces of his criminal bent, almost becoming the millennial version of a boy scout. He and the Fairies are now solidly on the same side and good friends. Even the violence has been dialed back a bit. With his brilliance, technology, family organization, and world-spanning adventuring, Artemis has become a sort of Tom Swift for the 21st century.
Five books into the series the relationships and motivations are getting more complex, so it is best to start with the first book. Author Eoin Colfer seems to like putting Artemis up against other geniuses but Minerva, who doesn't really mean any harm, is no Opal Koboi (for the uninitiated, she's the maniacal villain from books 2 and 4). So with THE LOST COLONY the series returns to the pleasure of seeing Artemis, always in charge and unflappable, work out his complicated plans; he's not off-balance and one step behind, like in the fourth book. - The story had many thrillers, jokes and shocking twists around every corner. It really picked up where the last book left. It was extremely difficult to close my application ones I started reading it. It had plenty of new information, facts and characters related to the story that really boosted my curiosity. I really do hope that the next book will be just as good.
- I've personally never read the series, but I bought this as present for my boyfriend who loves the books. Even as an adult, he loves having the series and the paper binding is high quality enough to display proudly on a bookcase.
- Another solid tween/teen/YA entry in the series. My kids love these. The dogs don't quite relate to the characters, tho.
- I have to start out by saying that I am a big fan of the covers of this series. This one in particular is not very appealing to me. Despite this, I was already invested in the series, and had to continue. I quickly got over my issue with the cover, and became mesmerized with the story. Demon N01 is a great new addition to the cast of characters, and I hope that he will be a regular within the rest of the books. The addition of demons to the fairly world brings a more powerful aspect of magic to the table, which really excites me. Artemis is still become more humane with each passing book, and all of the changes that are present at the end of the book leave with high hopes for the next in the series. The only thing that I was a little disappointed with was the lack of Mr. Diggums. He proved very useful at the beginning, but was sort of written off as things go more intense.
