The complexity of time travel is a common theme in science fiction; this story builds upon the well-known theme with a bit of adventure and mischief. The concepts and issues related with the time travel make this story a little less about the characters and more about their world. The primary villain, an “extinction-ist”, may be disturbing to animal lovers. I found it difficult to relate.
Two genius Artemis Fowls are hard to deal with in one story. Eoin keeps the adventure moving, but it is not as engaging as previous stories in the series.
Beyond amazing!!
Artemis Fowl is finally back to Earth after being stuck on an island inhabited by demons for “three years”. But Artemis only experienced about five hours. He returns home to find that he has two new brothers! But when Artemis' mother falls deadly ill with a fairy disease, Artemis calls in his fairy friends for help. Artemis, Holly, and the rest of the gang go on an escapade that takes them through space and time, and creates the most confusing thing known to man: a time paradox!!
It's still a pleasure to read Artemis Fowl, a kind of light touch amidst my other readings :) Even though I prefer the fifth one, this sixth book was interessing for time travel theories and i quite agreed with the theorie “Everything is already done” :)
But /!\ SPOILERS ALERTS/!\ I haven't expect a thing would happened between Holly and Artemis :O /!\ SPOILERS ALERTS/!\ .
I think this book was a good book because we could see the evolution between the machiavelic Artemis-from-book-1 and good Artemis-from-book-6. Can't wait to see the next book :O
Fluffy “junk food reading”. Always good, intricate stories with plenty of great characters.
