Synopsis:
After disappearing for three years, Artemis Fowl has returned to a
life different from the one he left. 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 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:
This is the 6th book in the Artemis Fowl Series.
The Time Paradox was simply incredible. This book starts off at a
heart-thumping pace and never slows down. It literally grabbed my attention
from the very first page up to the last. So exciting, it is definitely worth
losing sleep over. If you have read the previous Artemis books and thought that
they were full of fun and mind wrenching excitement, just wait until you read
this one! Get ready for a wild roller coaster ride that is filled with humor,
action, excitement, and romance.
My Rating:
4.5 out of 5 stars
Fantastic!
An excellent read.
I know him! He is the one who wrote Artemis Fowl, right? My friend adore him a lot. But I haven't read any of his book.
ReplyDeleteThis one sounds greet, I'll catch it up later.
I have only read one book by Eoin Colfer - The Supernaturalists which I really liked. But somehow I never got to reading his most popular series - Artemis Fowl though I started the first book twice, but I never finished it
