Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox

"You could appreciate character development well when seeing the characters interact with their past selves. You won't get that from almost any story, time travel as an idea is fascinating to me. Colfer does a solid job of creating a well-crafted tale around it. The Extinctionists are purely hypothetical as far as I can tell. I wish Colfer drew from science or history sometimes a bit more than just making up things that feel real but aren't. But I guess I can also applaud Colfer for finding so many things that sound plausible, especially to the younger audience his books target. I bet many younger kids think that some of the crazy things pulled off in Artemis Fowl can happen. Solid book, on to the next. - Do you think there are hidden time travelers on Earth right now? - How likely do you think it is that your future self has influenced your life already and that you just don't know? That they secretly messed with it to change something that was going to happen to them. - If time travel was made possible, wouldn't it also have always been possible that time travelers were among us? And if that's so why didn't anyone in the future feel the need to stop atrocities like WWII?"
