The Eternity Code (Artemis Fowl, Book 3) Paperback – July 14, 2009

I highly enjoyed this continuation of the Fowl series. I am quickly becoming immersed in the literary universe that Eoin created.Being a tech-savvy author myself, I can appreciate the technical aspects used in the stories. I will continue recommending this book saga to all my avid readers and friends.Fantastic work and beautifully written!

The first half of this books pulls together all the characters from before and truly seals their bond. The humor and action are there but the last quarter just slows. Over all a good ending to the first three books.

Had the air knocked out of me with this one...a cliffhanger! The 1st chapter of the next book sort of confused me though, doesn't seem to be a continuation, rather a new story.

I would recommend this to any aspiring criminal masterminds and child prodigies. Artemis Fowl is the greatest book I have ever read.

The genre of Artemis Fowl is fantasy. This intriguing and mysterious book puts funny with fear and murderous glee. It is futuristic fiction story that blends horror and fantasy in one combined wrap of a huge success. Juliet Butler, Butler, Artemis Fowl, and Holly are the main characters, who find themselves stuck in a tug of war between their duty to LEPrecon and thieving to save the world. Throughout the story the main characters roles are to defend justice and for one possible time become allies with one another so that they can retain their main goal; survival.I would recommend this book to those who would enjoy semi-long novels with constant action scenes. This book is action-packed and suitable for ages 9 and up. At first it did not capture my attention or interest and then as I read it, Artemis Fowl hooked me on the proverbial fishing line. This book is so interesting because Eoin Colfer, the author, made all of the characters come to life and he also made you believe that you were actually in the story. I would recommend this book to young people that would want to read excellent, intriguing literature.

Another thoroughly enjoyable adventure of our teenage millionaire criminal mastermind, but this time the stakes are much higher, so high that for once, one Butler just isn't enough.Artemis has used his ill-gotten fairy gadgets to create an electronic device the same size as, and a gazillion times more complex than Rubik's Cube. There's just one drawback - and of course it's a BIGGIE - it provides an access route to the Lower Elements, endangering the fairy way of life.Having accidentally handed the cube on a platter to Jon Spiro, a ruthless American businessman, Artemis is faced with the challenge of his life, but he's helpless without the good folk of Haven City - plus reinforcements.This time, Artemis needs two strong women behind him to make him look good - the fairy of his dreams, Captain Holly Short (a Sandra Bullock/Kim Possible mix) and Juliet Butler (a Lucy Liu/Uma Thurman type). Teamed with the dwarf digging sensation, and Haven City's resident centaur genius, Artemis still has to use every last ounce of his cunning and intellect to formulate a retrieval plan, while surprises lurk around every corner.Can Jon Spiro break the Eternity Code before Artemis can retrieve the cube?Can Artemis survive this last encounter?Can the LEP mind wipe make Artemis forget his friends and adventures?Can Artemis give up his life of crime and become a part of a normal family unit?The first three answers will be revealed to you as you read this book.The last? Yeah right!!There's never a dull moment in this book, and it's Colfer at his funniest.Amanda Richards, October 12, 2004

This series must be read in order. The first book is "Artemis Fowl". The second book is "The Arctic Incident". This is the third book. I can't wait to read "The Opal Deception"!Now that Artemis has both parents at home he fears he will not be able to pull off any more schemes. Especially as his father believes that they should be heroes instead of criminals. This only leaves time for one more scheme. Can Artemis pull it off without being caught by his parents? Will Spiro take the bait? What will life be like without schemes and crime? Can be handle being somewhat normal? Or will be go insane? Can someone like him truly be good?

Once again, Eoin Colfer has gifted humanity with another installment of the Artemis Fowl series. The condition of this book was impeccable, and anybody would agree. Never fear, this book will be delivered in careful hands.Book ReviewI thoroughly enjoyed The Eternity Code just as much as its predecessors. I can't say I like it more, but I also can't say that I liked Artemis Fowl or The Arctic Incident more either. It is action packs just like the others, and Colfer just keeps on making Artemis an interesting character to explore.(No Spoilers)Once again, young Artemis is up to something, which isn't surprising considering he is a criminal mastermind. His plan however doesn't go as planned. When Butler gets seriously injured, he needs the help of the fairies, which he happens to have a love hate relationship with. Butler's condition is only one problem though. Artemis's failed plan has put the fairy world in jeopardy. They could finally be discovered by the humans above ground. It once again comes down to Artemis and the fairies working together to stop this disaster.Over all, I give this book a 10/10 because i love this series, and this book is spectacular. I will once again state that it would be in your best interest if you read Artemis Fowl and The Arctic Incident before The Eternity Code. Artemis Fowl is a series where reading it in order would be the most beneficial to the reader.

I am a big fan of this series now and the third installment keeps up the excellent standard of the others. While I would say that the first book is truly outstanding on its own and neither this nor the second installment are absolutly as good at jumping off the page and grabbing your interest it is still an excellent book. I think eternity code is a turning point in the character development for the series and I must say it has left me excited to read the next book.

As the series progresses more and more is revealed. No spoilers so suffice to say the best yet. More power to your pen Eoin Golfer!! Thank you,.

I liked the book because it was good quality and nothing was creased or foldedWell done

Artemis is back - and this time he needs Holly more than ever!This is Artemis as we've never seen him before - foiled! Or is he?Colfer just keeps you reading as you keep turning over the pages ("Just one more page and then I'll turn out the lights") to find out just how the boy genius gets out of this mess!As usual he is ably supported by poor LEPrecon officer Holly and of course technical wizard Foaly!If you thought Colfer couldn't possibly improve on Books 1 and 2, think again! This is even more outrageous in its ingenious plotting and scheming than the others!Will Artemis be back? I for one certainly hope so!

If you've read the other Artimis Foul books you'll know what to expect and the Eternity Code doesn't disapoint. The gang's all here and each volume adds depth to the characters. Butler in particular becomes more human with each episode. If you haven't read the others read them first. It's not essential to read them in order but it definitely helps.
