 Never even thought... August 27, 2008
I have read each of the other Artemis Fowl books at least twice. But never once did I predict anything that happened in this book. It is brilliantly written and I read it in less than half a day, THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ!
 not the best fowl book August 25, 2008
The book is no way as good as the first three and I don't like the reformed Artemis Fowl too much either. The character is a lot better off bad (or at least as bad as he was in the Eternity Code) because this made him a lot more exciting and original. I think this was probably Colfer's worst Fowl book.
Decent book, probably Colfer's weakest effort though. August 20, 2008

Sure the summary sounds pretty interesting but the execution is, all in all, pretty weak. Two things bother me especially;
Artemis is just not that smart. In the other books he was obviously and ridiculously brilliant, but in this one he merely seems like an intelligent 16 year old - just so the opposition seems credibly formidable. Basically Artemis was jobbing.
It seems to me to be a very lazy book; as if Colfer needed to write another AF novel but he wasn't quite sure how to do it. Or maybe he just wasn't struck with inspiration this time. Either way it felt like a rehash, or half assed.
Still there where plenty of jokes, the dialogue was full of pretty brilliant humour, and it was jam packed full of the usual AF mayhem.
Overall verdict; worth reading but its probably best to get it from the library.

this book was just as good as any of the previous editions. As the reader you get a sense of Artemis becoming a better person and it is a fabulous read, i strongly advise purshasing this book its well worth it!
As good as all the others, and better! August 17, 2008

This book has everything we all liked about the previous Artemis Fowl books:
* A pacy page-turning plot
* Entertaining dialogue and humour all the way through
* Lots of action, never a dull chapter
Arty's mother is ill and the only cure comes from a lemur, the last of which died eight years previously. Warlock Demon Number 1 sends Artemis and Holly back in time to rescue the last of the lemurs.
I liked two things in particular...
It's very funny, the humour is at a new level compared with the earlier books. Reading about Artemis battling with his 10-year old self is very funny, as they wise-crack and try to outwit each other. Artemis has to battle with others, and Dr Damon Kronski is one of the funniest characters in all the books. The humour is drier and cleverer than before.
There's lots of plot twists, and lots of time paradoxes. The way they are all woven together is brilliant. I had lots of fun trying to figure out how all the time paradoxes worked.
If you liked books 1-5, you'll love this one.
