Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code

Artemis Fowl the Eternity Code by Erin Colfer was first copyrighted in 2003.  It’s fantasy and is the 3^rd book in its series. Artemis Fowl, a 13-year old mastermind is meeting up with big businessman Jon Spiro.  He wants to sell Spiro the C-Cube a secret technological advancement that Artemis has made out of fairy technology.  Spiro takes the C-Cube but the fate of fairies and humans depend on this C-Cube, so the fairies help Artemis retrieve the C-Cube.  The theme of this book in my opinion is careful what you wish for and be mindful of your actions.

The story is told from a bird’s eye view and is in the third person.  Like I said before the fairies must help Artemis in taking back the C-Cube from Jon Spiro.  They go into his tower that is thick with guards and attempt to break in…  I think the intended audience is kids around my age maybe even 10 probable 10-16 I would say so basically genius kids.  The genre of this book is Fairy-scientific-realistic fiction.  Because this could happen in the real world apart from the fairies and this book has a lot of advanced technology.  The author kept me interested in this book with a lot of suspense and action, because I really like some good action and who doesn’t get hooked on hooking suspense.  The author’s style is to throw a lot at you, but he does it in a way that gets you more intrigued ever time you read a page of it, so I think this style is very effective for the select age group he wrote it for.

This book affected me in the way that eventually you have to move on.  Because in the book Artemis is up to his usually schemes again, and gets his sidekick, Butler killed.  This is a turning point for Artemis and he realizes that while he was thinking of himself and his schemes, he got others hurt.  I’m going to think about that the next time I’m doing something that could potentially harm someone.  I don’t think that this book reminded me of any other books except for the 2 books before this.

This book, like all books by Erin Colfer is very well done and gets my kudos to Eric.  He just keeps me intrigued all the time and always sets the mood for the next book perfectly.  I recommend that you read this book insanely much because it’s a killer book and you’ll be reading it under the table at restaurants like that book reviewer that I saw on the back of a Harry Potter book one time.  It’s filled with action and friendship, suspense and sincerity, and above extreme goodness.  If you are a human you will love this book.
