The Eternity Code (Artemis Fowl, Book 3)

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.

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!!! :)

Review: I know, I know, it's about a kid, who's in the mafia. That's what I thought when I picked it up. I got an advanced copy and I was like "Who is Artemis Fowl? What? There are other books to this? And they are POPULAR? You're kidding me right?" I was reluctantly reading it for the first few pages, but then I was reading it cause I liked it. Artemis Fowl is about this genius who's parents are both having problems. His father is in the hospital (in a coma) and his mother was going crazy because she missed her husband. Artemis decided it was up to him to support his family and he thought he had the perfect idea of how to do it. He invents something called "The C Cube" which can do all kinds of cool stuff. It was a one of a kind item that Artemis had made from the helmet of a faerie (Faerie technology is ahead of ours by... a LOT). It ends up being stolen and then Artemis needs to get it back. So it's basically about that. I loved the book and thought it was hilarious at parts. As soon as I finished this book I went right out and bought the first two and guess what. I loved those too! I'm just hoping that there will be another book!

I'd say the Artemis Fowl series is MUCH better than the Harry Potter series. Yeah, Harry Potter is good, but I'd say this is better.
