Product Description:
After being held prisoner for years, Artemis Fowl's father has finally come home. He is a new man-an honest man, much to Artemis's horror. He makes his son promise to give up his life of crime, and Artemis has to go along with it. But not until he has completed one last scheme. Artemis has constructed a super-computer from stolen fairy technology. Called the 'C Cube,' it will render all existing human technology obsolete. He arranges a meeting with a powerful Chicago businessman, Jon Spiro, to broker a deal for the C Cube. But Spiro springs a trap-he steals the C Cube and mortally injures Butler. Artemis knows his only hope of saving his loyal bodyguard is to employ fairy magic; so once again he must contact his old rival, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon fairy police. It is going to take a miracle to save Butler, and Artemis's luck may have just run out.
Amazon.com Review:
In this third installment to Eoin Colfer's funny, fast-paced, fairy-filled adventure series, boy genius and arch criminal Artemis Fowl once again can't resist plotting the perfect crime--and, once again, he can't keep from stirring up so much trouble that the fate of the entire fairy world teeters in the balance.
The once hard-boiled Artemis has softened a bit between his bestselling debut and the seat-of-your-pants Arctic Incident, and that trend continues in The Eternity Code: He's still plotting for a billion-dollar-plus payoff for the Fowl family, but now his enemies are human (chiefly Jon Spiro, a ruthless businessman Artemis tries to blackmail using stolen fairy technology) and he has to turn to his old adversary-turned-friend Captain Holly Short and cutpurse dwarf Mulch Diggums for help. The dialogue and action prove as smart and page-turning as ever this time around, with Artemis struggling to bring his faithful bodyguard Butler back from the dead before racing Mission Impossible-style to triple-cross the double-crossing Spiro.
Colfer's young antihero might be getting more likeable all the time, but that hasn't taken the edge off the Tom-Clancy-meets-Harry-Potter action. Artemis has to agree to a memory-erasing 'mind wipe' from the People after helping them recover their technology, but only a foolish fan would count Artemis out after this blockbuster 'final heist.' Book four can't come soon enough.... (Ages 9 to 12) --Paul Hughes

None of the Artemis Fowl books are as good as the Harry Potters. However, if you are a fan of adolescent literature and fantasy, you will probably enjoy the book.

"Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code" is the third installment of the Artemis Fowl series and is gauranteed to entertain all who read from ages 8 - 50.
This book leaves off rite where "The Arctic Incident" left off. Artemis is in the hospital with his recovering father and amidst another crime-indulgent plot involving all of his fairy "friends" and "colleuges" to restore his family's once-proud name in the criminal world, despite what his father and his new out look on life plead for. This plot, however, uses Fairy technology he had stolen from a previous mission to lure an American electronics guru to spend and spend and spend just to keep this technology off the market for it would surely mean his economic doom. But, Do Artemis' plots ever go as planned? Of course not. This book steps it up a notch from the previous books. Using more advance technology and better vocabulary (obviously growing with their target audience, which I understand is not me)
Very few cons with the book, but some none-the-less. First of all, as is the case with all Fowl books the fonts are huge, the sentences double-spaced, quick chapters, and empty pages all over. So even though the book claims to be 480 pages, in actuality it is only 220-240, something like that. I know it's a kids book, just a pet peeve of mine. Another annoyance for me personally, is that whenever an American is portrayed from a European writer often times we are generalized as fat, greedy, beligerent, or just plain evil, and in this case, with the exception of the fat part, all apply. All said and done, very minor complaints with a fun book for a family. I am very much looking forward to the subsequent Fowl.

This was the third book in the Artemis Fowl series, and the good thing about Artemis Fowl is, it's not like Harry Potter where it gets darker and darker, and its not like harry potter where you have the same things happen, THERE IS A GREAT TWIST IN EVERY BOOK!!!! I would HIGHLY recommend this book to you.
If you have or have read the very first two books, you'll know that he finally has rescued his father and he wants to get everything back on track, but before he does, he wants to do one last thing, and that's all I can tell you without spoiling anything, but once again, I would get this book if I were you, and look, I DID GET IT :).

Purchased the Audio CDs for travel, and just like the other 2 books, Nathaniel Parker does an excellent job in narrating. If you enjoy Jim Dale (Harry Potter Series), you'll enjoy Nathaniel Park too.
Book 3 offers a ton of adventure and suspense, but also contains highs and lows in the story line. Like every Artemis Book, it leaves you wanting more.
