He's not... or at least at the end of it. At the beginning, he was almost his old bastardly self, but then he got his memories back and was all goody goody again.

KRC: What's next for you? Will there be a Book 5 in the series after THE OPAL DECEPTION (which releases on April 20, 2005), and is there any update on the Artemis Fowl movie that's in the works?
EC: I am working on book 5 at the moment. It is tentatively called THE LOST COLONY. As for the movie, the studio is hoping to get a director and cast this year, so fingers crossed.
