Product Description
Artemis's mother has contracted a deadly disease--and the only cure lies in the brain fluid of African lemurs.

Not only that, but he must face his deadliest foe yet...his younger self.

 disappointed Artemis Fowl fan August 25, 2008
Having read and loved all the previous Artemis Fowl books, my husband, 10 year old son and I were left feeling short-changed with this book. Artemis usually sees outcomes ten steps ahead, and he could barely keep up with himself in this story. Hard to swallow.
 Great Novel, but a bit too edgy. August 23, 2008
The book 'The Time Parodox' was another one of Eoin Colfer's masterpieces. However, I felt that it was a bit too short, not page-wise, but story-wise, as well as the fact that parts of it were quite confusing.
the idea was perfect, however, but the twist towards the end was very strange...

I got this book for my son for his 11th birthday. He loved it. He read it so fast.
Not Eoin Colfer's Best August 15, 2008

Having faithfully followed the Artemis Fowl series since its beginning, I have to say I was a bit dissapointed with The Time Paradox. In the previous books Colfer was very good at continuity, but in AF:TTP he decides to ignore the characters (i.e. Minerva Paradizo) he brought in during The Lost Colony. Although I was not a big fan of Minerva's (I found her pretty irritating), I read AF:TTP wondering where she had gotten to, or if she would show up later in the book. She does not. Despite this, I liked how Colfer put older Artemis in situations where he had no gadgets or backup other than Holly--something that Artemis is not used to. The constant battle between young Artemis and older Artemis, and how they resolved their conflict was awesome as well.
It is still humorous and smart, the trademark of the Artemis Fowl series, but I think Colfer seems to be tiring writing for Artemis. Nevertheless, a mediocre Artemis Fowl is a lot better than some other writer's magnum opus.

What this book is really about is green propaganda. I am all for conservation, etc but PLEASE don't beat me over the head with it when I am just wanting a good read. I adore the other AF books and think they are creative genius. However, I got 30 pages into this one and wanted to barf. There was some reference to conservation, ecology, pollution and/or (I kid you not) carbon footprints every couple of pages. I was just so annoyed at being preached to that I had to stop reading. Come on, Colfer! The earth is great. Let's keep it safe. We get it already!!! Now get back to storytelling!
