Description/Blurb:
Artemis Fowl is going straight. As soon as he pulls off the most brilliant criminal feat of his career. At least, that’s the plan when he attempts to sell his C Cube, a supercomputer built from stolen fairy technology. When his efforts to broker a deal for the Cube with a powerful businessman go terribly wrong, his loyal bodyguard and friend Butler is mortally injured. The only thing that will save him is fairy magic, so once again he must contact his old rival, Holly Short. It’s going to take a miracle to save Butler, and Artemis’s luck may have just run out.
My Thoughts:
The Eternity Code by Eoin Colfer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
You know, I really like the fact that these stories don’t always have just the perky, happy ending. Sometimes bad things happen. And the “good guy” in the story is not always good, either.
Artemis is at it again, one last evil dead. The development of a revolutionary electronic device constructed of bits and pieces of leftover fairy technology. But the problem, of course, is someone wants to steal all of his thunder.
Luckily for Artemis, this includes fairy technology so the fairies will come to his rescue again.
The Artemis Fowl stories take you on a bit of a roller coaster ride every time you read them. It won’t matter if you have already read the story. You are going to feel like you have been flipped upside down and wrung out.
I almost feel sorry for Butler and Artemis for how things turn out, because in the end, you start to think maybe they are not so bad after all.
They are fun reads, although I would recommend using caution in presenting them to younger readers. Some of the content may be a bit mature for some middle-grade readers.
