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.

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?

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 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.
