Avis sur le produitArtemis Fowl Ser.: Artemis Fowl the Opal Deception by Eoin Colfer (2005, Hardcover)

The Opal Deception

Criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl is back...and so is his cunning enemy, Opal Kobol. At the start of the fourth adventure, Artemis has returned to his unlawful ways. He's in Berlin, perparing to steal a famous impressionist painting from a German bank. He has no idea that his old rival, Opal, has escaped from prison by cloning herself. She's left her double behind in jail and, now free, is exacting her revenge on all those who put her there, including Artemis.

Meanwhile in the lower elements, Opal has planted a trap for Captain Holly Short and Commander Root of the LEPrecon fairy police--Root is killed, and Holly is framed for the murder. Instead of staying around to defend herseld, Holly rushes to the surface to warn Artemis. But before Holly and Artemis can get away, Opal arrives and abducts them both. Artemis is faced with a world he does not believe in and an enemy with an infernal plan to destroy this world forever.Lire l'avis complet...

Love the Artemis Fowl books!

As part of the well written Artemis Fowl children's book series (which adults too, will like,) this book is great, and we get to know what drives Opal, a rather psychotic creature. It is, in fact, far FAR better than the unfortunate movie that has just come out (2020?) and made a horrid jumble of the books. They should have stuck to book one, and told that story well, not adding ridiculous extras and wasting time with trying to rewrite a good story. The stories are fun, the movie was not.
I dropped my daughter's hard cover copy of this in the hot tub, am happy to have a perfect condition hard cover replacement at a fair price.Lire l'avis complet...

Great, smart, wry fantasy

Utterly original and wry fantasy series for adults as well as kids. This volume sustains the high quality level. I'm in my 50s, a Science Fiction and Fantasy fan since childhood. My daughter turned me on to this series a couple of years ago. A not-quite-evil child genius and high tech faeries from irish myth who secretly dwell deep in the earth's interior and travel up using the force of magma. What's not to like? I wish there were a dozen more Artemis Fowl books. Better yet, one a year for the foreseeable future. I'd buy them all.Lire l'avis complet...

Shouldn't this one be called the Evil Opal?

Well, my son stayed up all night reading this one and then spent two days on the internet studying cloning! WOW. He loved the Harry Potter books, but those never sent him to the computer to study up on something that applies to life now! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! Now I have read it and I have to wonder..... Is Opal really gone? Happy reading!Lire l'avis complet...

My Son Loved It!

My son loves this series of books. He had already gone through all the Harry Potter books and Eragon and Eldest. I thought he might like this one. He loved it! They aren't as overwhelmingly large as the other books I mentioned. He really enjoyed this book. He's already finished all of the books in this series. I have not read it, but my 11 year old son gives it an A+.Lire l'avis complet...

The Opal Deception

What an imagination this guy has and it continues through yet another Artemis Fowl book. Meant for young teens I enjoy it too and I could be a grandmother of a teen. Enjoyed it thoroughly!
