Book Reviews of The Eternity Code (Artemis Fowl, Book 3)
Book Review: great book in one of the best series ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
WARNING! If you are one of those people who like to actually find out the whole plot of a book when you READ it, not before, then don't read my review! Otherwise go right ahead!
OK, this book was a little weak compared to the others in the series but still great with a very emotional ending. In this installment, Artemis gets involved with the American business tycoon Jon Spiro. Artemis has a cutting edge tiny computer which he shows to Spiro. It is called the C-cube, and can do amazing things and is way ahead of all HUMAN technologies of the time. It is really made up of parts of the fairy's equipment that Butler had salvaged from the siege on Fowl manor a while before. But, instead of offering to sell his amazing invention to Spiro, Artemis offers to keep his product off the market long enough for Spiro to invest in the Fowl company's stock. WELL, Jon Spiro wasn't going to take that form a kid, especially when he had traveled so far just to see this invention. Soooo..... he took the c-cube! There was one more problem with the C-cube, that Artemis hadn't had a chance to fix yet... it pinpointed the location of the where the LEP was monitoring, thus Spiro would find out about the underground population, and chances are that he wouldn't wait long to exploit them and make mucho dinero. Luckily Artemis had built in an eternity code to the C-cube so that no one other than Artemis could operate the cube. So it was safe for a while... at least until Spiro's company could figure out how to hack in. Anyway, Artemis wasn't worried about that at the moment, because Jon Spiro's bodyguard had decided to do away with the child genius before making his exit from the restaurant meeting place. Artemis was done for because Butler wasn't beside him at the moment.... or at least he wasn't until he raced across the room to jump in front of the bullet just in time to save Artemis, but sacrifice himself!
So now comes the emotional death scene. Butler even tells Artemis his real name (you'll have to read the book to find out what it is). Well, Artemis can't just let his bodyguard and closest friend die, so he freezes him! He then employs Holly's fairy magic to save Butler. It works, but not perfectly Butler is aged tremendously and thus does not play as much of a part in the rest of the book.
So, Artemis is headed off to Chicago with Holly, Mulch and Juliet (Who hasn't been that big of a character in the previous books, so its nice to find out more about her). Artemis sets up a HUGE plan to get the C-cube back that would be impossible to put into action without help from Holly, but Root has gotten fed up with Artemis and will only allow Holly to help if Artemis, Butler, and Juliet agree to be mind wiped and never remember the fairies again.
This is a really good book and it wouldn't be fair of me to spoil the rest of it for you, so I'll leave you with a few questions. Will Artemis get the C-cube back? Will Spiro find out about the People? Will Artemis submit to the mind-wipe, or will he have some plan to bring back his memories? Read it to find out!!
Summary of The Eternity Code (Artemis Fowl, Book 3)
Ever the resourceful young criminal mastermind, Artemis has found a way to construct a supercomputer from stolen fairy technology. Called the "C Cube," it will render all existing human technology obsolete. Artemis then arranges a meeting with a Chicago businessman, Jon Spiro, to offer to suppress the Cube for one year in return for gold, his favorite substance. But the meeting is a trap, and Spiro steals the Cube and mortally injures Butler. Artemis knows his only hope to save Butler lies in fairy magic, so once again he is forced to contact his old rival, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrepcon fairy police. Miraculously, Butler is healed, but there is a catch: he has aged fifteen years. Thus, Butler's infamously ditzy sister, Juliet, is called in as Artemis's bodyguard. Together, they travel to Chicago to steal back the Cube and ensure that Jon Spiro is put out of business-permanently.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
