 Great Book, Different Feeling, 2008-07-23
I believe that this book was the best in the series. Many do complain that it didn't have the same feel, and I agree. This book gave the characters a slightly different personality that seemed different comaperd to the last books. Still, I think that Eoin Colfer did this on purpose; he wouldn't undermine his own characters. I believe the new characteristics of Artemis and Holly(who were basically the only characters that were really put in the spotlight) were to show increased character development..... at first it felt awkward reading about some of the choices the characters made, but then i got absorbed into the character's new personality and i think that it made the book better. Also, something to keep in mind is that the younger Artemis acted just like he would have in the really first book. This young Artemis had the personality that we knew of at the beginning of the series. This goes to show that Colfer knew what he was doing, and didn't just forget his own character's personality overnight. He WANTED to depict the older Artemis differently.
The only thing I disliked about this book was that it didn't depict Artemis as a smart kid. Though he retained his personality, he wasn't revisited as a "Mastermind" in this book. Not that he wasn't smart. Just not like the old books. There was no planning or anything like that. I feel as though at least that should have been added in this book.
Other than that, this book was great. As long as fans of the other Fowl books open their minds as they approach The Time Paradox they should find it as enjoyable as i did.

This is a great combination of modern lives and fantastic magical creatures coexisting together. It starts with a young, very intelligent and heartless boy, Artemis Fowl, who decides to follow his parents' trade after they lost not only all their gold to a bad investment, but also his father. He decides to fill his vaults with gold stolen from a magical fairy. He has an elaborate plan to go about it and finds help from his butler who is willing to do anything for him. Now in book 6 he is getting softer and travels through time to undo one of his other crimes... Does his love for the fairy Holly have anything to do with it? There is great technology and lots of magic in this book, coupled with great imagination. Good for ten years old and older.

 Just not as good, 2008-07-22
He should have stopped at #4 really.. 5 just went too far and this one is kind of ridiculous. Sure it's got the same nice balance of humor and action, but I just kept finding myself asking why on earth this book was written at all. Sure, big picture it's good, but for Colfer, it's just doesn't measure up to most of the others.

Best Artemis yet!!!!, 2008-07-22
I thought this installment in the series was the best yet. Artemis is changing, his relationship with Holly is growing, and his heart is warming. I have already bought two more of Eoin Colfers books, just because I loved this one so much!!!

 What Happened, 2008-07-22
I love the Artemis Fowl series and this book brook my heart. He completelly forgot about characters he introduced in the end of book 5, then went on to fight the same villan for a 3rd time, just for her to do completelly uncharterist behaver and destroy the plots of 2 other books. He need to tell us things we dont already know. This isnt a new artemis fowl book its a bad prequal.
