I wanted to read this one ever since I stumbled into a spoiler which mentions something about kissing when I was on the third book (Okay I’m sorry for spoiling you with mentioning ‘kissing’). 

The Time Paradox is the sixth book from the Artemis Fowl series (I can’t believe I read up to book 6!!). Angeline Fowl, Artemis’s mother was infected with a disease where magic could not cure her. To cure his mother, Artemis needs a brain fluid from a lemur.  Unfortunately, lemur had extinct. And Artemis was responsible to the extinction. So Artemis trick Holly into helping him and with the help of young warlock, No1, Artemis travels back in time to find the cure to his mother deadly disease. Now, Artemis must steal the lemur from his younger self before his younger self could kill the lemur.  But battling his younger self weren’t easy especially since they’re both genius.

This Time Paradox is full with action, adventure and humor (I LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! books with good humor). But there are times when things are a bit confusing especially with the time paradox. It wasn’t as great as book five. But I still enjoy the book thoroughly.

Goodread’s 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.
