Summary:
Artemis Fowl is a reformed evil genius who's got a lot of friends in low places. And by low, I mean both figuratively and physically. He's got connections with the criminal underworld as well as the Fairy world under the ground. His mother turns up ill with a fairy illness that had been eradicated decades before by the fairies. and Artemis killed the last lemur that carried the cure. He gets the idea to go back in time. Thank goodness he knows some magical creatures! The book follows the paradoxical greatness of time travel.
Thoughts:
I love this series. It's so inventive, and no matter what Artemis thinks of to do next, it turns wrong quick, then right, and wrong again so fast your head could spin. I have yet to read one of these that I haven't loved. Colfer has a way of spinning a yarn that will make your head spin until the very last page, when everything comes together.
Just a note. Like many of the previous Fowl books, this one has a decoded message along the bottoms of each page. If you don't wait until you've finished the book, you might get a little bit spoiled. Just in case you're anti-spoilers.
