Product Description
Artemis's mother has contracted a deadly disease--and the only cure lies in the brain fluid of African lemurs. Unfortunately, Artemis himself was responsible for making the lemurs extinct five years ago. Now he must enlist the aid of his fairy friends to travel back in time and save them. Not only that, but he must face his deadliest foe yet...his younger self.

 Series keeps on delivering August 29, 2008
Colfer delivers again. I wouldn't rate this the strongest book in the series (the first few may have been better than the last 3), but I loved it and it flies by too fast as all his books have for me.
I think it may be a bit better than the last one, and now I'm eagerly awaiting to see if there will be a number 7!
The audio performance for the entire series was by the same guy, and he's top notch. Excellently done.
 disappointed Artemis Fowl fan August 25, 2008
Having read and loved all the previous Artemis Fowl books, my husband, 10 year old son and I were left feeling short-changed with this book. Artemis usually sees outcomes ten steps ahead, and he could barely keep up with himself in this story. Hard to swallow.
Great Novel, but a bit too edgy. August 23, 2008
The book 'The Time Parodox' was another one of Eoin Colfer's masterpieces. However, I felt that it was a bit too short, not page-wise, but story-wise, as well as the fact that parts of it were quite confusing.
the idea was perfect, however, but the twist towards the end was very strange...

I got this book for my son for his 11th birthday. He loved it. He read it so fast.
Not Eoin Colfer's Best August 15, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Having faithfully followed the Artemis Fowl series since its beginning, I have to say I was a bit dissapointed with The Time Paradox. In the previous books Colfer was very good at continuity, but in AF:TTP he decides to ignore the characters (i.e. Minerva Paradizo) he brought in during The Lost Colony. Although I was not a big fan of Minerva's (I found her pretty irritating), I read AF:TTP wondering where she had gotten to, or if she would show up later in the book. She does not. Despite this, I liked how Colfer put older Artemis in situations where he had no gadgets or backup other than Holly--something that Artemis is not used to. The constant battle between young Artemis and older Artemis, and how they resolved their conflict was awesome as well.
It is still humorous and smart, the trademark of the Artemis Fowl series, but I think Colfer seems to be tiring writing for Artemis. Nevertheless, a mediocre Artemis Fowl is a lot better than some other writer's magnum opus.
