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.

"I thought that this book would be a disappointment as in series there is usually one 'dodgy' book. I was blown away by this to my suprise. The characters are so well written and fromed that I can practically hear them and the plot thickens and gets better and better. I love Artemis and think he's a sweet boy underneath all the bravado." — Bethany (4 out of 5 stars)

" Well, what can I say? Another awesome Artemis Fowl book. Can't wait to read number 5! "
" I love these books! My kids are addicted to them! "
" Opal is back! And this time she aint showin nobody no mercy! Its really fabulous (and obvious) how he outwits her in the end. "
" One of the best books I've ever read! This book is made to be a masterpiece. In my opinion, it's the best Artemis Fowl book... Congrats Eoin Colfer, you did it again :) "
" Out to foil the nefarious plot of fairy criminal, Opal Koboi, Artemis, despite the mind wipe, teams up again with Holly Short to save the Lower Elements. Fast paced, suspenseful and fun, these Artemis books are a good read. "
" Huge thumbs up to the entire young adult series. The characters are very well done and the plots provide non-stop action. Book 1 offers an exciting introduction. Book 3 is also quite a standout (Butler's sister added some nice interest). "
" Getting soooooooo close to my favorite! yet, this one is pretty damn good too... "
" I knew in the end something would happen to Opal. "
" You just have to read the books, start with the gold first! "
" The book was Excellent!It gave me a clear sense of what Artemis was going through and what he was thinking.Since I finished the fourth book in the Artemis Fowl series,I'm starting see that Artemis is never left alone.He will go through near death experiences,kidnappings,and his protector,Butler. "
" i couldn't help but finish the series eh.. "
" Colfer's plots and characters are so engaging and his story-telling so full of fun, you just can't stop with one! "
" One of my favorites in the series "
" best book till now in artemis series........... "
" Another fantastic book to continue the series! I couldn't put it down. This series is just my type of book. I absolutely loved it. :) I can't wait to read the rest of the series! Five stars all around! "
" Another winner. Colfer keeps the series going by bringing us back to the beginning in a way that works. Opal Deception is a not as light as its predecessors, but that's okay. I was ready for a little bit more drama. On to the next one! "
" Not my favorite of this series. Still good an interested in the next books to come. "
" Entertaining as hell. Wouldn't reread the book though. "
" I had been out of the Artemis Fowl loop for a few years, but I'm glad the 4th book in the series held up as well as the other three have. "
" Opal Doesn't give up does she? "
" I am so sad for Julius!!! :"< Anyway, it wasn't as great as The Eternity Code but it is still great. :) "
" This has been my favorite so far. "
" great story line "
" This book isn't the best in the series, but if you want to know what's happening and feel more joy for something in the last book, you'd better read this one. "
" The story was ok, but the man who read the series is fantastic! "
" it was awesome i loved every little evil twist and the beginning was so sad i cried right in the middle of class because of it. "
" A great read. Suspenseful and funny. I think I need to read more of the series. "
" it was pretty good. You think you figured it out but the book proves you wrong. "
" This one was good. Creative. One could get turned off by the name of the new creatures. They are called Demons. Once i got past the fact that they are nothing like real Demons it was really creative. "
" Eoin Cofler did it perfectly. Again. In this book, Artemis meets Opal and has a memory device go off in his head about his past with Holly. Which wants you to read more. In the end, evil Opal gets trapped. What does she do next? Guess I wil have to find out in book six. "
" i love these books. i really do ;D. "
" One finds it hard to imagine what goes on in Eoin's head. But one thing is for sure, this man is a literary genius. "
" I'm glad Opal has to suffer. She deserves it. I'm glad Artemis remembers. "
" Finished this one in a few hours. Loved it. Colfer has written a fast-paced, funny, yet emotional book. It's a mystery sometimes why YA readers don't appreciate Colfer's work as much as they do Rowling or even the over-rated Stephanie Meyer. His writing is superb. "
" On literary merit alone, this is an excellent series of children's books that - in my opinion - far exceeds Harry Potter (now the genre standard) in originality and plot coherence. "
