After disappearing for three years, Artemis Fowl has returned to a life different from the one he left. Now he's a big brother, and spends his days teaching his twin siblings the important things in life, such as how to properly summon a waiter at a French restaurant.

But when Artemis Fowl's mother contracts a life-threatening illness, his world is turned upside down. The only hope for a cure lies in the brain fluid of the silky sifaka lemur. Unfortunately, the animal is extinct due to a heartless bargain Artemis himself made as a younger boy.

Though the odds are stacked against him, Artemis is not willing to give up. With the help of his fairy friends, the young genius travels back in time to save the lemur and bring it back to the present. But to do so, Artemis will have to defeat a maniacal poacher, who has set his sights on new prey: Holly Short.

The rules of time travel are far from simple, but to save his mother, Artemis will have to break them all.and outsmart his most cunning adversary yet: Artemis Fowl, age ten. The Time Paradox (Artemis Fowl, #6)

A very gripping tale... reading novels like these ensure that a parallel to the 'popular literature,' there is something called 'meaningful literature'. Cheers to the author! 391 (A-) 84% | Very Good
Notes: Treats adolescence as a mind-altering drug and youth as a more singularly-focused, less compunctious state of being. 391 Fabulicious

Peace be inside me, tolerance all around me, forgiveness in my path. Now, Mervall, show me where the filthy human is so that I may feed him his organs.

I've never being a fan of time travelling: too many things to think about. But I guess I should've seen this coming, with Colfer wanting to explore pretty much every fantasy element he could think of. Still, I think this became one of my favorite time travel books. It's not just because of the ever so entertaining Opal's younger version was there, but for keeping the loopholes of such a sequence well in control. With time travel, it's always a gamble that rarely pays off. While I don't look forward to anymore timeline manipulation within Fowl series, it was nice of the author to bring these completely new areas to the story to keep things entertaining.

If there's one thing the Mud Men do know, it's how to explain away and explosion. The Americans invented Area 51 just because a senator crashed a jet into a mountain.

Oww. Why-for miss, dost though torment me? 391

You do not own a copy of the rule book, and if you do, you have certainly never opened it.

I liked this book more than the last one. But still this book has little problem which I faced.

In this book, Artemis' mother gets ill by some serious disease. There is only one cure which is an extinct species. He asks Fairies for help. With the help of fairies, Artemis gets back in time to find that species. But he comes to know that, in past time, his younger self and Opal Koboi (antagonist), are also after this species.
The whole book revolves around how he will get that species to present time through life threatening dangers.

Main problem is:
This thing didn't look good to me that, that species got extinct by Artemis himself when he was younger.
This series always set Artemis for every bad deed. I liked that thing in previous books. But in this book, this thing seems little baseless to me.

Never mind, I enjoyed it a lot!
2 books are left!! Hope I will get the good conclusion!
(^_^) 391 Artemis Fowl and the Time Paradox = The Time Paradox (Artemis Fowl, #6), Eoin Colfer
Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox is the sixth book in the series Artemis Fowl by Irish writer Eoin Colfer. It was released in the U.S. on 5 July 2008, and on 7 August in the U.K. At 432 pages, it is the longest book in the series. In Colfer's video blogs, he mentioned the book, saying it may not be the last, but the last one for at least three years. It is followed by Artemis Fowl: The Atlantis Complex.

Angeline Fowl, Artemis Fowl's mother contracts a debilitating disease, which Artemis worsens by trying to use magic. Artemis desperately contacts Captain Holly Short and No. 1, in hopes that they will be able to shed some new light on his mother's condition. They determine Angeline is suffering from Spelltropy, a fairy disease that is spread through the use of magic, and can only be cured by the brain fluid of the silky sifaka lemur of Madagascar. Unfortunately, the lemur is extinct, due to a ruthless deal Artemis made almost 8 years ago with a group called the Extinctionists. Foaly tells him that his mother will die without the cure. Artemis pleads for No.1 to open up the time stream, allowing him to save the lemur, and thus his mother. Foaly argues against the idea, but due to Artemis' lying to Holly, saying that she infected Angeline with Spelltropy, Holly agrees to help Artemis immediately to make up for it, and Foaly had to give in. ...

و بالاخره «آرتمیس» با بزرگ‌ترین دشمنش روبرو می‌شود: با خودش! «آرتمیس فاول» دیگر از پری‌های مسلح، و ترول‌های آدم‌خوار، و گابلین‌های آتش‌ساز خسته شده، و می‌خواهد همه ی کارهای خلافش را کنار بگذارد. ولی درست همین حالا مادرش «آنجلین فاول» سخت بیمار شده، و او باید داروی مادرش را از چنگ یک نابغه ی تبهکار بیرون بیاورد. «اُاین کالفر»، تا به حال شش رمان درمورد زندگی «آرتمیس» منتشر کرده است. البته خود «آرتمیس» ادعا می‌کند که «کالفر» به ماجراهای او زیادی شاخ و برگ داده است. با این همه، زندگینامه‌های «کالفر» بسیار پرفروش بوده و جایزه‌ های بسیاری برده‌ اند. رمان‌های این مجموعه، در عین پیوستگی، هر یک اثری مستقل به شمار می‌روند. ا. شربیانی 391

Second time around and my feelings about this book haven't changed. It also helps that I read this book back in April, unlike the previous books in the series. Angeline was not my favorite person, or mother, in the world. She seemed to be like the London Tipton of this book and didn't really care about what she spent money on.

I also found it interesting that what I found interesting the first time around.. just annoyed and frustrated me. For example, the lemur and his mom... ugh, just no. I was so done with his mom in this book.

Then Artemis just seemed to backtrack and become more robot to me which just made me sad. In the end, I'm hoping that the next book will pick things up again and make me happy. If not, then I have no idea what I will do.
____________________________________
Eh, it was okay. Not my favorite.

The Time Paradox sounded like it would be an interesting book. Yet, after diving into it... I just don't think it actually worked for me. As far as I know, if time travel really existed then wouldn't it be more realistic to have an altered future if someone interacted with someone in the past?? Now I get it, it's not real but I wouldn't assume talking to people in the past would still leave me to the exact present I left.

Other than that, Artemis just seemed off to me in this book. The whole lemur and his mom being sick was intriguing enough but it's like.. things seemed way too easy in this one. I get it, he destroyed a lemur that would eventually end up saving his mom's disease. What I don't get is how Artemis could handle all the new technology with a snap of his fingers. It also didn't help that I was confused throughout most of this book as well.

In the end, I'm hoping that the next book will be better. 391 Done reading THE TIME PARADOX - Book 6 in Artemis Fowl Octalogy, entirely read in Amazon Kindle. All in all, I give it a solid 5 of 5 stars!

This is by far my favorite. Artemis Fowl becomes a big brother to twins - Beckett and Myles. Sadly, his mom is terribly ill. There is no cure but the Irish boy genius will do whatever it takes to heal his mom. Even if it means changing the past.

The last four chapters are over the top. Totally ambitious storytelling though all is great. The author finds a way to connect the dots. 391 I LOVED this book! Eoin Colfer writes such great fun to read stories! I loved the ending of this book and the whole idea of the book too with the whole time traveling and Artemis meeting his past self and being outsmarted by his younger self. After reading this book, I definitely want to reread the first one again.

Everyone must give Artemis Fowl a chance! It's a great series and one of my absolute favorites! 391 The entire series of Artemis Fowl has been an enjoyable romp, fraught with the perils of real death (a major character died in an earlier novel), yet also replete with hilarious toilet humor (Mulch Diggums and his bum-flap overalls which allow him as a dwarf to. . . um, digestively process dirt). Although Artemis is a human being, he has found a way to remain in contact with the fae-folk, in general, and Holly Short (a fairy) and Foaly (a centaur) in particular. They have served to deviate Artemis from his formerly criminal path and have set him on a more altruistic one. When Artemis finds out that his mother is terminally ill and that the cure is presently extinct, he determines that he must travel back in time with the fairy-folk and find the cure. The major obstacle in his way is a ten-year-old version of himself who at that time was as conniving and vile as possible. Hence, the Time Paradox story-line, always a difficult narrative to elucidate with all of its inherent pitfalls common to the subgenre. I love these novels a great deal, especially because I got a chance to share these with my middle child. The story is a little more convoluted than previous ones, but still a fun read. 391 When did these books get so bad? The plot was half-baked and meandering, and the dialogue was so awkward I could barely stand to read it. The writing is all just clichés and people trying to be cooler/smarter than someone else, with technology thrown in as a deus ex machina whenever it's needed. Is that what appeals to boys? I don't know. I hated the twins and Professor Primate and Holly being the biggest emotional wreck ever and THE KISS oh god don't get me started on the kiss. :|

But most of all? I hated Artemis. WHY would you create an evil super-genius with no morals and then have a long character arc set over six books where he eventually becomes a model citizen? I liked him far more when he was inherently selfish, because then the occasional twinge of doubt or guilt he had were real Events. THAT was why the ending of the first book was so momentous. A nice person isn't interesting, no matter how clever they may be. (And yet I hated little!Artemis for being a whiny brat. I guess he was too emotional at that age.) 391
