Publisher Description

Thousands of years ago, fairies and humans fought a great battle for the magical island of Ireland. When it became clear that they could not win, all of the fairies moved below ground, except for the 8th Family, the demons. Rather than surrender, they used a magical time spell to take their colony out of time and into Limbo. There they have lived for decades, preparing to exact their violent revenge on humans.

Now the time spell is unraveling, and demons are beginning to materialize without warning on Earth. If humans were to find out about them, all fairies would be exposed. To protect themselves, the fairies must predict when the next demon will materialize. But in order to do so, they will have to decipher temporal equations so complicated that even a great brain like Foaly can't understand them. But he knows someone who can: Artemis Fowl.

So when a very confused demon imp appears in a Sicilian theater, Artemis is there to meet him. But he is not alone. There is someone else who has unlocked the secrets of the fairy world and managed to solve complex mathematical problems as only a genius could. And she is just 12 years old.

"Eoin Colfer is a very, very funny guy. This is a great series, and well worth listening to, especially in a car full of boys. The criminal aspect of it may seem alarming, but give this book and series a shot. You'll be surprised how many moral issues are raised and answered. "

    " Artemis is firmly a good guy by this point in the series. wacky. still a good blend of fantasy (fairies! demons!) and scifi (all the gadgets!) with a good sense of humor and even a little wistfulness at the end (which i wasn't expecting, but worked well). "

    " 2.5. The writing quality was distracting at first but then I got used to it. Annoyed at how Minerva didn't end up being a real villain, and the "genius" characters are only surface-level smart, but it was an enjoyable read. "

    " Another amazing Fowl adventure by Eoin Colfer. For those of you who loved the Artemis Fowl character in the first book may have problems with the character in this book. The Fowl character does a complete 180, but is still a very good story one very much worth reading. "

    " Best book since number one in the series. Finally brings in a few new characters and a new plot line. I do miss the morally questionable Artemis from the early books, as opposed to this purely "good guy" of the last few, but otherwise quite a good YA book. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " This is not my favorite Fowl book - it's going a little too sci fi for the average reader, I think. It was complicated to follow and I'm not sure younger YA readers could follow it well. "

    " this book is the 5th book of the artemis fowl series, and was very good, but it wasnt as good as the other ones. I gave it 3 stars because it wasnt as logical mystery solving as it was just pure luck mystery solving. i would only reccomend it if you have already read the other books in the series. "
