sedeara 's review for:
The Eternity Code
by Eoin Colfer
I really wavered between giving this book four stars, because for some reason, I REALLY liked it a lot more than the other Artemis Fowl books. But I kept it at a humble three stars because, well, the plot wasn't all that meaty. But this was the first Artemis Fowl book that kept me really engaged the whole time -- usually I'd space out during techie scenes and then have trouble finding my way back. Either this book had less of that, or I've gotten used to it enough that it doesn't put me off anymore! (Although I think it was the former).
I've always liked the character of Artemis Fowl, but the combination of having his parents back in his life (even though they're off-screen the whole time) and his ongoing relationship with the fairies has begun to significantly re-orient his moral compass. His character gains depth in this book, while less time is devoted to secondary characters who don't need further depth at the moment. And the ending really surprised me -- it was one of those things that you just assumed the book wouldn't *actually* do, but it did! So, now I'm excited to read the next one, and I brought it home from the library today.
