Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Read
Review: Great follow-up to the Artemis Fowl series. I have really enjoyed all three books; I rank them up with the Harry Potter series and the His Dark Materials Trilogy. This book is an excellent choice for anyone that enjoys a little 'what if' fantasy in his or her life.

My only complaint is that, even though Artemis comes out on top, he seems too fallible throughout the book, most notably in the beginning of the story. After the first two books, I expected more from Artemis and Butler. Granted, it sets up the whole story and they are up to par by the end, but it seemed a little far fetched that they could be so easily duped.

Artemis's developing relationships with the Butler siblings and the People really brought the story to life and made this my favorite of the three books. I wish we could have seen more of Root! Still, it's a great book and I highly recommend it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Just not the same
Review: This book seemed much different than the past books. Some of the little things that make this series different were just not there. The ending was very dissapointing, convoulted, and confusing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: excellent
Review: 2nd best book of the Artemis series the artemis books are second best only to harry potter. This 3rd book starts out with Artemis making a deal with a big busnessman and Butler gets hurt but Artemis turns to Holly once again to help him get his stolen merchandise back before Haven and Artemis go down. This book is 2nd best in the series the best is Artemis Fowl.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Eternity Code: Read This for Eternity!
Review: This is the best Artemis Fowl book yet! With Colfer's creative writing, and vivid descriptions of all enviroments in the book, it easily blows all the other Artemis Fowl books out of the water!

With a twisting plot that will leave you puzzled until the end, AF: The Eternity code is one of the best, and one of the most complex novels that Colfer has ever written.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Artemis Fowl is back in black.
Review: Artemis Fowl and the sequel (The Arctic Incident) are highly popular books that swept the globe. Many thought because of the ending to the second book, that there were only two, but Eoin Colfer has done it again. The Eternity Code will be released on May 6th, and readers can only imagine what is in store for Artemis next...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Artemis Goes Straight?
Review: Arty is up to his old tricks! Those following the misguided adventures of Fowl will be pleasantly surprised by its exciting opening. It's non-stop, bang-bang action that doesn't relent its pace for much sentimentality and tears (as in novel two). Fowl senior is back from being kidnapped and has turned away from a life of crime. He expects his prodigal son to do the same, but thirteen year old Artemis has one more scheme up his sleeve, a last plot to revive the failing family fortunes before settling into a quiet life.

Artemis, using stolen technologies from the fairy people, creates the super advanced C-Cube. He's concocted a plan, as he always does, for relieving a shady mogul of his riches. Jon Spiro, meglomaniacal mastermind, said mogul, and all around bad man, outwits Fowl (much to the detriment of young Arty's ego) and steals it, intending to make further fortune. Unfortunately for him, Artemis has encrypted the C-Cube with his "eternity code", a language that cannot be broken. This, of course, is where the journey begins.

Colfer deftly intermingles past story lines with new, re-introducing us to old cast members; Holly Short, Foaly (everyone's favourite sarcastic centaur), Mulch (the criminal dwarf), Butler and his wrestling crazed sister, Juliet. He continues in his tradition of easy humour, less contrived than his previous novel (still, at times, head shakingly lame), but still chocked full of fun techie-rife laughs. The ending is very fitting too! Not unexpected, but written well enough that the reader greatly looks forward to book four. It's a series worth following, where our hero grows slowly in depth and relationships are more stolidly built. I, personally, await the next novel with much anticipation!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Artemis Fowl is back and better than ever
Review: This is one of the best books I have read in my life. Artemis Fowl is a super genius but is only a teenager. Butler (yes that is his real name) is Artemis' body guard. It would be no fun for you to read the book if I told a ton about it. Artemis creates a new computer using stollen faerie technology but a buissense man steals the C Cube (the new computer) and his body guard wounds Butler (Artemis' Body Guard)and Artemis must save Butler and get back his C Cube. This book is like a good video game when you don't want the game to end so soon. It is so good you will not be able to put this book down. I highly suggest you read this book but to get the idea of whats going on you should read the frist and second books first ( Artemis Fowl, and Artemis Fowl The Arctic Incident.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best series has come back for more!
Review: The Artemis Fowl series has been one of the most unanticapated book known to man kind. Its surprising twists in the storyline makes it more enjoyable and also surpasses most other books. Eoin Colfer has now created his third book... The Eternity cube! Artemis is on a new criminal scheme,even though his father is back and honest (his horror). Though in spite this he has stolen fairy technology to make the C cube which will render all other human technology useless. This bok will make Fowl fans rush to get this book. The most unanticipated series is back and better than before.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not as entertaining as 1 & 2
Review: I see that Colfer has left himself a wee opening for an Artemis Fowl #4 and if there were one, I would read it. The Eternity Code's pacing is slower than books #1 and #2 but it's just as tight and almost just as entertaining. While on the one hand I was glad to see Butler make it through to the end, the book would have been stronger in many regards if he hadn't. I was also suprised to see Artemis' parents suddenly absent after they were Artemis' raison d'etra in books #1 and #2.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Eternity Code Adventure
Review: Have you ever had one of those days when everything seems to go wrong?. Well, this book starts with Artemis Fowl (extremely young irredeemable criminal) having just one of those days :)

The problem arises from the fact that despite all the precautions taken by the fairies Artemis managed to steal fairy technology, and to build with it something called the "C Cube", an artefact so revolutionary that could ruin many businessmen. Being certain of that, Artemis tries to blackmail Jon Spiro, saying that he will wait another year to launch the "C Cube" if Spiro gives him a lot of gold. Unfortunately, things go wrong at their meeting: Artemis is almost killed, his bodyguard and friend is fatally wounded, and Spiro steals the "C Cube". What can Artemis do, when all seems lost?. Could he possibly get the help of the fairies, even though he stole from them the technology to make the "C Cube"?. And if so, under which provisions?.

Too many questions, don't you think?. I believe that you should find the answers by yourself. I can tell you something, though. Get prepared for another great adventure of Artemis and his "friends/associates/whatever"!!!. Get hold of "The Eternity Code", and have fun!!! :)
