Artemis Fowl, The Eternity Code




Artemis Fowl,the Eternity Code by Eoin Colfer is about Artemis Fowl selling fairy technology to John Spiro, a rich and evil man. Mr. Spiro tricked Artemis, stole the fairy technology, and ordered his hench men to kill Artemis and Butler, Artemis's body guard. Artemis escaped and asked the LEP and Holly Sort for help to retrieve the fairy technology.

Holly Short is a LEP officer. She is the only girl to ever join this elite group. She is stuck with her duty of providing neverending assistance to Artemis whenever he gets in trouble. She feels obligated to do this, strangely enough, since Artmemis kidnapped her.

Mr. Spiro is the villain in this book. He stole Artemis' fairy technology, without understanding and knowing that it is fairy technology. When Spiro discovers the powers of the fairy technology, he will be transformed into the strongest human ever.

If you like science fiction books, then you should read Artemis Fowl. The author uses rapid-fire dialogue to get the reader interested. This book is very well writen and it is humorous.

The strategies that I used were summarizing and making mental images. These reading strategies helped me better understand the book. I was able to predict what will happen next.

The author of Artemis Fowl, The Eternity Code is Eoin Colfer. He wrote the entire Artemis Fowl series and Super Natural books. I think his favorite writing strategy is using rapid-fire dialogue.
