Ini adalah buku ketiga dari kisah Artemis Fowl. Dari segi cover, dibandingkan dua buku terdahulunya dapat dibilang biasa-biasa saja. Tapi cerita menarik di dalamnya tidak membuat saya ragu untuk membeli kelanjutan dari kisah Artemis Fowl ini. Dari ketiga buku Artemis Fowl yang telah saya baca, buku ini adalah buku yang paling menegangkan dan seru. ;)

Let me first say that I still have every intention of reading some more of the Artemis Fowl books despite how let down I was by this one, and the only reason I was let down by this one was because I don't think it was quite up to the quality of its predecessors. I'll keep this review short, just saying what I liked, and what I didn't like.
What was good? Once again it was unique and something different in a world of young adult novels that are constantly trying to emulate one another. It d...more

The third book in the Artemis Fowl series, written by Eoin Colfer and is supposedly the last illegitimate expedition of Artemis (doubt it). The perspective is from Artemis Fowl, Holly Short, and John Spiro, and the main characters as always; Holly, Artemis, Butler, Mulch, and Foaly (Commander Root barely even appears in the story line). The setting takes place generally at the Spiro Needle and Fowl manor, but also takes place in random locations all over Europe and Chicago. This novel is classi...more

First off, I would like to say, between work and sleep, I was able finish this book within 20 hours of picking it up. I felt compelled to finish the book to find out what happens.
I was intrigued not only by the plots and counterplots that run between the characters of the novel. I found myself very interested by the characters themselves and the development of their personalities. It is obvious that they have grown a lot over the previous books, but they also grow more.

Well, in this book, Artemis's gloating goes a little too far. He takes stolen LEP technology and forms the C Cube, with so many functions I won't bother to go get the the book. It's an amazing little thing, and Artemis wants to see a rich and powerful man go down. He offers to give the rich guy (John Spiro) a little while before he puts his C Cube on the market. John Spiro doesn't quite care for this kid's attitude, and instead, steals it. Artemis and friends come to the rescue again, because...more

I think is my favorite book in this series thus far. Artemis’ evolution from cold-hearted child genius to caring-but-still cunning child genius has been an amazing adventure to watch. His association with the faeries has been the best thing that could ever happen to him. Through his friendship with Holly, Mulch, Foley and Company, Artemis has been taught the important lesson of caring for others.

I really like the Artemis Fowl series, but unlike my sister and husband, I do not think it comes anywhere close to being as good as the Harry Potter series.
In The Eternity Code: He's still plotting for a billion-dollar-plus payoff for the Fowl family, but now his enemies are human (chiefly Jon Spiro, a ruthless businessman Artemis tries to blackmail using stolen fairy technology) and he has to turn to his old adversary-turned-friend Captain Holly Short and cutpurse dwarf Mulch Diggums for he...more

I'm taking a break from Artemis after reading the first three - i need a non-fiction fix - but they hooked me enough that i plan to continue the series. Having said that, i have to say thais: of the first 3, this was my least favorite. It's still really well written, action packed, lots of twists and complications, just like the first two. And I still very much enjoy the characters - even Artemis continues to grow on me. I guess there are 2 factors that reduced my enjoyment: It's mostly s...more

The first to Arty Fowl books were brilliant, and Eoin Colfer continues to impress with the third book in the series.
Artemis Fowl has consructed a super computer from cannabalised Fairy technology that he stole in the first book. Known as the C Cube (the cube that SEES all), he's going to show it to Jon Spiro, an American buisnessman with a short temper and mafia connections.
But events turn for the worse, resulting in a distaterous circumstances which almost kill Fowl's bodyguard and on...more

I do so enjoy Artemis and his plans. Artemis is showing off his fairy technology to Spiro, an equally evil businessman. Spiro turns the tables and steals the device and shoots Butler. Artemis tricks the fairies into coming to his rescue and reviving Butler. The whole fairy universe is in jeopardy because of this. What ensues is a plan only boy genius Artemis could have come up with.
We see Holly, Foaly and his ingenious devices, Mulch Diggums, Butler and his niece Juliet. This is a fast-paced...more

This was a good continuation of the relationship between Artemis Fowl and the fairy world. Artemis creates a "C Cube" using fairy technology that falls into the wrong hands. He enlists the help of the fairies, who risk possible exposure to the rest of the world if they refuse to help. The only different thing about this book ffrom the others, is the absence of Butler, who is injured at the beginning. At the end, Artemis and friends submit to a mind wipe to remove all fairy memories...more

im reading this book right now. So far i think its great. These books are the books i am really intersested in a nd love to read. It is mostly about a 13 year old kid which is basicaly the smartest kid on earth. Not just that but in the book he discoverd a cube, not just an ordinary cube but a cube that can do anything! It is crazy and i mean anything, this object is worth more than you can imagine. Since artemis showed this cube to another sales person name spiro. This guy is planning on steali...more

I was thirteen when I read this, and I remember appreciating this book more than any of the others. It just seems so much more realistic to me. I could definitely imagine the cocky, pale-skinned Artemis Fowl getting into a deal that proved to be too much, in the beginning at least, for him. Butler, due to the aging effects of his cryopreservation and revival, is unable to save Artemis this time - a situation I can understand, something that I can feel like I can relate to. It's a good read, defi...more

This is the third book in the series. Artemis Fowl has returned yet again with Butler to cause havoc in the fairy world. Artemis Fowl has created a C Cube. This is a powerful gadget but it ends up in the wrong hands. The gadget contains fairy technology in it. The fairies and Artemis Fowl along with Butler team up to save the fairy world yet again.

In The Eternity Code, Artemis Fowl creates a supercomputer with stolen fairy technology. He immediately sets out to tantilize a successful Chicago businessman, and instead ends up endangering both his and Butler's lives.
The Artemis Fowl series is one of my favorites - the brilliant criminal plots, robust characters and smart dialogue make each book worth reading. The Eternity Code is a powerful third installment in the series.
The ending in particular will have you aching for more.

As alwasy I found this an enjoyable read. However, I did find the beginning very implausable. Artemis, and Butler are not that easily duped. It was obviously just a set up to tell the story. I also grow a little weary of the faries are good, people are bad theme that runs through all these books. I think the author should sneak in little tips on how humans can treat the environment better, rather then just complaining that we are all so awfull.

A quick read, better than the previous. The characters don't provide much emotional attachment, so even Butler's clichéd death scene ("death" turns out to be temporary when there's a cryogenic lab nearby and you know fairies) produces but a yawn. But the throw-off one-liners provide a certain enjoyment. And I love the line when the young fairies, finding the loss of their cellphones too much to bear, sink to their knees and sob gently.

My son, age 11, is reading through this series now and is really enjoying it. I'm re-reading them since the library books are laying around the house. Just a fun to read story. Lots of exciting action bits and its interesting to see what cool technology gadgets the author can dream up and put to good use. Also neat to see how there is a change towards good in Artemis' character and that he recognizes that and doesn't want to lose it.
