** spoiler alert ** I'm a die hard Artemis fan, and after reading (and owning) the last six books, I eagerly awaited the Atlantis Complex and went off specifically to purchase it on its release date in India.

The first chapter showed that the book would go off on a good note, but the rest of the chapters, were simply fillers to the book's 323 or 357 pages (depending on the publisher). Honestly, the book lacked the rich fairy tale luster in the previous books. It was a disappointment to see the series end up in this fashion. The storyline was not solid, as it was in the all the previous books and the end did not have a twist. It simply ended on a drab note with Artemis finding himself with Foaly and Holly at his bedside. The book was neither moving nor was it emotional. Colfer tried to mix Orion's puberty with his attitude, but the result was bland and tasteless. Had I not been such a great fan of the Artemis Fowl's series, this book wouldn't have gotten more than 2/5

Colfer (my favorite author) should really rethink the future of the Artemis Fowl series.
