Description

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.

The Best Artemis Fowl Book, By Far
5
By Frustrated 4 yr old
I really enjoyed this one AF book, it had lots of plot twists & turns. Opal seemed to express her psycho side truly, which gave the character a bit more depth. Also, adding in some cute Holly & Artemis moments pretty much sealed it. I liked how Mulch befriended the lemur Jayjay, and pretended how he was like a real faerie / Mud Person. I liked how they mentioned the bit with Myles & Beckett, where Artemis was telling the story to them at the end of the book. (I wish Holly was there to see that..) Anyway, thanks so much for this book, Eoin. This was an amazing book to read, and I’m about to beat up my classmate because he’s hoarding the 7th. Dang it, Sam.
My favorite so far

This book is my favorite so far(I’m on the 7th book). It’s really funny, and has a lot of depth. I love the series, and this installation exceeds expectations. 😉👍🏻💜

The Artemis Fowl series is one of my favorites, and as a hopeless book addict, I should know! But it kind of rubs me the wrong way how the author projects his views and opinions onto his character in this book. Artemis is supposed to be logical, right? Isn't it incongruous for him to subscribe blindly to flawed and incomplete theories regarding the environment, global warming, evolution, and so on? Aside from that, I think Artemis is a fantastic and well-developed character.
Good Fun Reading!

I do love this Artemis Fowl series and this book is my 2nd favorite out of the series!
I love the confusion and the theories and other unknowns about time travel and the author's take on time travel through the world of Artemis Fowl.
Best of Artemis Fowl

this is one of the best books i have read in a long time and most definately my favorite artemis fowl book in the series....well i like them all but this is a highlight. the plot might get confusing at times but overall the way the story is intertwined and connected all throughout makes a great read. i also love the way Eoin Colfer develops the characters, you get a chance to see them all in a new light. OVERALL its a great book and surely a MUST READ. :)

This book was very disappointing. The same story is being repeated and dragged on. There was something of an unjustifiable suspense lacking in cohesive narrative that just took the fun out of it. Everything prior to this was a 5/5

A great addition. Though it is not the best book in the series, it is my personal favorite. Opal Koboi's "return" annoys me, but I love the plot twists and how everytime you think it will end, something new happens!
