yay!finally finished reading artemis fowl and the opal deception!!it's nice too,juz lyk the others.no cheryl it IS a nice bk!!lyk eragon!!only a bit better!ha!!teehee.so here's my summary..artemis fowl and the opal deception so basically this story is abt how artemis outsmarts a VERY VERY clever pixie called opal koboi.fyi,her iq is ovr 300.so,opal was actually caught in the other story(dunno wad),but she went to "sleep" almost immediately after she was caught.no die la,but as in slip into a dreamless sleep,almost lyk meditation.this special kind of sleep can be sustained without the person having to eat or drink for a very long time.but actually she didn't juz go to sleep cos she wanted to.she had a plan up her sleeve.her accomplices would plant a clone in her place one day when the coast was clear,and because the clone could not do anything else except share opal's dna and sleep forever,juz lyk opal was doing,it was perfect.the people would never suspect a thing.therefore one day the switch happened and opal was awake,and she wanted to take revenge on the people that had cost her to be caught,namely:artemis fowl,holly short,julius root(commander),commander scalene.actually mulch diggums(the dwarf)also helped,but she didn't know that.so she kills commander scalene first,then she proceeded to kill holly short and julius root,by using scalene as bait.she leads them into a cave then seals all exits.den she plants a proximity trigger and a bomb on commander root.fyi,a proximity trigger is something when a person walks near the person with the proximity trigger,it would squeeze the person.the nearer the person,the tighter it would squeeze the victim,until eventually he is squeezed to death.so the bomb would detonate after 10min,n holly short had no way to un-detonate the bomb.so in the end she had no choice but to leave the cave without her commander,and julius root exploded to smithereens.another person killed.meanwhile,a missile is headed for butler and artemis fowl in their hotel,and butler first spots it when he looks in the sky an finds a tiny blue ting headed for them.butler quickly improvises and uses a thick mattress as a trampoline.he pins himself on top of artemis, and they jump out of the window.they land on the first floor.butler is seriously injured,but artemis having been between butler and the mattress only breaks two ribs.so holly flys to their rescue and heals both of them with her magic,but only rescues artemis fowl,because she can only have the strength to carry one person.but opal leads them into another trap.they are being led into a cave full of trolls.trolls r v.v.v.v. mean creatures that can rip u apart with one slash of their talons.so artemis devises ANOTHER ingenius plan,by using the trolls' weakness.they hate light and water.so artemis and holly swims across the river.but the trolls aren't that stupid,so they throw lotsa stuff into the river to make a bridge.clever huh?holly uses the waterproof telepod that opal had sent them in order to mock them,and sets the screen to maximum brightness,and the light burnt the trolls' retinas.they quickly climb up a ladder,and put the telepod in a crystal kinda tingy and all the trolls are temporarily blinded.meanwhile,butler gets up and finds mulch,who offers to steal a LEP shuttle in order to rescue artemis and holly.they arrive just in time and rescue artemis and holly and they all live happily ever after.ya right.opal isn't that stupid.she always has back-up plans.she wants to betray her own kind and introduce humans to the fairy world.she mesmerizes a human and hypnotises him,and forces him to send a missile shooting down all the way to the fairy world,so that they can be destroyed.she first transforms herself into a human so that she would not be implicated.but then artemis outsmarts her by stealing the charges meant to control the missile,and sends it exploding somewhr else,far away frm the fairy world,thus preventing two worlds from colliding.YAY!and the LEP captures her AGAIN and THEN they all live happily ever after.YAY! end of story.but v.v.v. nice.once again it shows how smart artemis is.woo!!
