Now he’s a big brother, and spends his days teaching his twin siblings the important things in life, such as how to properly summon a waiter at a French restaurant. But when Artemis’s mother contracts a life-threatening illness, his world is turned upside down. The only hope for a cure lies in the brain fluid of the silky sifaka lemur. Unfortunately, the animal is extinct, due to a heartless bargain Artemis himself made as a younger boy. Though the odds are stacked against him, Artemis is not willing to give up. With the help of his fairy friends, the young genius travels back in time to rescue the lemur and bring it to the present. But to do so, Artemis will have to defeat a maniacal poacher who has set his sights on new prey: Holly Short. The rules of time travel are far from simple, but to save his mother, Artemis will have to break them all . . . and outsmart his most cunning adversary yet: Artemis Fowl, age ten. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Another Great Book in the Artemis SeriesIf you have read the previous Artemis books, this one holds up perfectly. I'd recommend this series to anyone at any age, and this book doesn't disappoint. Rating: - Artemis continues to excel!The latest book in the Artemis Fowl series continues to shine. The latest installment does an excellent job of bringing its reader into the Artemis Fowl world while stretching our imagination with its time paradox theme. Rating:  - The time paradox.It's a reasonable book, but for those familiar with the series it will feel like it covers the same areas as previous books; ironic bearing in mind the title. I have to say the biggest let down is that it isn't narrated by Nathaniel Parker and is poorer because of this. If you've already got the rest of the books then it's worth getting, if not, get one of the others instead. Rating:  - Dreadful audio renditionFor the audio version: UGH! What a misguided decision to change narrators. If Nathaniel Parker wasn't at liberty to do book #6, the publishers should have waited until he was. I was willing to give this a chance and it started out all right. Artemis and his dad are Irish, accents were Irish. Then we get to Butler, and this narrator makes him a Cockney. The Butlers have been with the Fowls for centuries. They are not educated in London and returned to the family at some later ...

Needless to say, she devoured the book in a day and is waiting anxiously for the next installment. |
