Product Description:
Artemis's mother has contracted a deadly disease--and the only cure lies in the brain fluid ofAfrican 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 the lemur. Not only that, but he must face his deadliest foe yet: his younger self.

- nice twists and turns
The latest part of the Artemis Fowl saga.
Great read, good pace, nice twists and turns that you didn't see coming.
Artemis is becoming good instead of evil, which is a bit of a shame. we don't want a new harry potter, we liked the evil genious. But nevertheless a good story!.

- Awesome Artemis never disappoints!
I really have enjoyed this whole series and this book had one thing in particular that got me psyched up...Opal is Back!! Opal Koboi has to be one of the coolest villians I've read and she's just so much fun! She is artemis' arch-nemesis and comes back with a vengeance here. Of course there's great time travel fun as well...in short Artemis fowl never disappoints...great for kids and young adults who love their fantasy with a charming twist!
Rating: - "He was up against somebody just as smart as he was, only twice as ruthless."
I have thoroughly enjoyed the previous books in this series, but this one fell short of the mark. The main problem is that the author decided to try to create interest by twisting the plot way too much, transforming it in a morass of confusion. Therefore, there are many instances in which the internal logic of the story is damaged. Just adding the way paradox in the title should not give an author carte blanche regarding the consistency of the story.

Rating: - Good but confusing
The story was exciting and sometimes funny but they kept doing completely unexpected things ("hey, when did Artemis Fowl tell his younger self to come forward in time with him?!") I definitely liked this book, though.It was worth reading.
Rating: - Weakest Out of the Whole Series
I don't know...maybe my expectations were just too high, but I found the story overly cliche.
Time travel back to the time of your younger self is hardly new, and there weren't enough interesting plot points to take away the cliche of that. The plot was simple and unlayered. I also find it very unrealistic that Artemist Fowl the older version almost got outsmarted by Artemis Fowl the younger. Shouldn't he have been able to predict what he would have done, and countered?
