Good recovery on the third book! After the disappointment of the second book in the series, this was a welcome change. Much better and twistier plot and some actual character development! Not quite as good as the first one, but still very engaging.

I've been really enjoying these books. They're a blend of magic meets technology and Mission Impossible meets fairy folklore. I like the development Artemis's character is making and am looking forward to the next in the series.

More Artemis. How can you go wrong? And his "friends" are wonderful.
In an uncharacteristic move, Artemis Fowl makes a mistake, which sets up the events of this book. Has Artemis met his match in John Spiro or will be be able to get back what was stolen and at the same time keep the fairy realm from being detected? Well, Artemis is a genius. But the plan has a lot of variables and any little deviation could cause it all to fail, which makes for a very exciting ride. And in the end, Artemis has to submit to a mind wipe - but he has a plan to bring back his memories. What will happen in the next book?
I know this is a "kids" series but it is very engrossing and fun. I love this series and highly recommend.
The third in the Artemis Fowl series, it lives up to the standard set in the first two. Easy, fast read, very entertaining. I can't wait to get my hands on the next one!
I bought it because I really like the Harry Potter books. To me, it is harder to follow than the Potter books. Maybe that's because I have not read any others in this series.
Artemis Fowl is going straight, as soon as he pulls off the most brilliant criminal feat of his career...
the artemis foul series is a great series for people who like harry potter. it's a much quicker read. great for reading out loud or together with your child.
Another great book about Artemis and the fairies. A definite read!
Artemis Fowl does it again, achieving even more than he did in the first two books. Great book, great series, and I would recommend it for anyone looking for a interesting and fun read.

Artemis Fowl the Second has a brilliant plan--one last scheme to make his family some money, then he'll leave the crime life behind him and turn over a new leaf. Everything starts out fine, with Artemis meeting with billionaire businessman Jon Spiro to discuss a mutually agreeable arrangement. Artemis, you see, has developed the C Cube, a mini-supercomputer that can do almost anything. For the right price, Artemis will withhold releasing the Cube to the public to allow Spiro's company to catch up in the technology world. All seems well, until Spiro steals the Cube, his bodyguard, Blunt, fatally wounds Butler, and Artemis is left wondering how it all went wrong.
What follows is Artemis's desperate plea to the fairies to help heal Butler and rescue the C Cube from evil Spiro, before he becomes aware of the Fairy World and wreaks havoc on the creatures living below ground. As Captain Holly Short is once again drawn into one of Artemis's dangerous schemes, she does so, along with Commander Root, with one condition--when the C Cube is recovered, Artemis, Butler, and Butler's sister, Juliet, will all submit to mind wipes, erasing every trace of the fairies from their memories. Artemis agrees, desperate to save Butler's life, but already he has plans to avoid the erasure of a mind wipe.
THE ETERNITY CODE contains a lot more action-adventure than the two previous books, and a lot less of the world of Fairy. It is, though, still a very fast-paced, enjoyable read, and I'm left wanting to know what will happen next. Thoroughly entertaining, and highly recommended.

Another exciting and entertaining book in the series!
It was probably the best of the first three in the series.
Artemis Fowl has yet another adventure. I love these books- great light reading, even for adults!
Actually, this is the 3rd book in the series, after "Artemis Fowl" and "The Arctic Incident"
My son loves this series and he's picky about books.

He arranges a meeting with a powerful Chicago businessman, John Spiro, to broker a deal for C Cube. But Spiro springs a trap-he steals the C Cube and mortally injures Butler. Artemis knows his only hope of saving his bodyguard is to employ fairy magic; so once again he must contact his old rival, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon fairy police.
It is going to take a miracle to save Butler, and Aretmis's luck may have just run out.....
