Description/Blurb:
When Artemis Fowl’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 save the lemur and bring it back 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.
My Thoughts:
The Time Paradox by Eoin Colfer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Wow. Just, well, yeah, wow. I know, I know, not terribly articulate and it will not be going down in history as one of the great first lines of a review to have ever been written, but it is what it is, and though I have the almighty delete key, I shall let it stand.
This one was a little weird and while I kept reading and couldn’t walk away, my head is kind of spinning at the completion of this one.
This particular installment of this ever popular series will leave readers confused and delighted and … Feeling like they missed something, but maybe in a good way?
Artemis has battled fairies, goblins, demons and now… Time. There is action and adventure abounding, and a hint of mystery and intrigue. This is an installment in the series that you do not want to miss. I am sharing these stories with my 10 year old son and he is as enthralled as his book obsessed mom. Coming from the boy who idolizes Jeff Kinney and Rick Riordan and Suzanne Collins, that is saying something.
