I own the Artemis Fowl series but have never read it. That will have to change. So this book was my first foray into this world! What fun! The puns! Lord Bleedham-Drye! Hilarious! And I love Whistleblower! The twins *occasionally* got on my nerves but this was a rollicking good time. Definitely a fun book for middle grade kiddos. Artemis is an adult and established by the time this book takes place and so Myles and Beckett have taken the crazy Fowl reins to solve a mystery. I enjoyed the tricks the two performed on the baddies and loved NANNI, thank goodness for NANNI. Now I've GOT to read the Artemis Fowl series! And finished this trilogy too, of course. I don't think I've seen the film either. I would love to see an animated show of Myles and Beckett's adventures. Whoever illustrated the covers (all versions but specifically the orange cover) did an amazing job!
