I read this book because I love the Artemis Fowl books and I wanted to read more by the author. I was a bit let down. It was an okay book. It took more time than it should have taken to finish because of its weird and kind of random plot. The beginning was good and the story idea was great but the execution was lacking. The ending was also written with a second book in mind. There has not been a second book though.
Overall, it was not the best book, but it was also not the worst book I have read.
