 Another great Book read By a genius. December 20, 2008
Artemis Fowl and his great adventures, I won't spoil the plot, this review is about the CD's. They are packaged in a cardboard slip folder. No plastic jewel case here so treat with care. The book is very well written and narrated by Nathanial Parker who really puts you in the story with his different voices. Simply brilliant. Unavailable anywhere in the UK so had to purchase from the USA. Well worth the effort.
 Perfect? Not quite. Pretty dang close? Yep. October 21, 2008
Artemis Fowl, fourteen year old criminal mastermind, and his burly bodyguard, Butler, have forgotten all about their adventures with their underground friends and the existence of the fairy People, and Artemis is up to his old tricks again. This time, he's set his sights on The Fairy Thief, a famous painting which has passed from owner to owner, thief to thief, through the years by only not-so-noble means. Now however, something's different--Artemis has suddenly, for no apparent reason, developed a conscience. But even as he swallows his doubts and begins working on his latest criminal enterprise, his old enemy, Opal Koboi, is again ready to take down the fairy People's relatively peaceful society--but first, she intends to take revenge. Opal, having lain in a self-induced coma since her last attempt on the People, has replaced her body with a clone, an almost exact copy of herself, and is back in business. Haven City is still trying to clean up from the last Artemis Fowl Incident, and is caught unawares. In one fell swoop Opal makes Artemis' old friend, Captain Holly Short, into a known fugitive and kills someone close to her, then goes after Artemis. The two are reunited, but Artemis' memories of Holly are still locked away, and he has no time to go looking for them.
This volume in the Artemis Fowl series will not leave readers disappointed--the fast-paced action and formidable humor are just as entertaining as it has been previously. The Opal Deception even reveals some unique dimensions to characters that have been around since the start of the series, and brings on a wave of nostalgia at seeing Artemis as a money-hungry evil kid genius again. And yes, Mulch is just as flatulent and more as when compared to previous volumes. The ending leaves the reader hungry for more and is open to new possibilities, perhaps even a touch of romance? Maybe not, but one can hope.
Artemis book series July 16, 2008
My teen kids love this series. They want all the five or six available
They read them very fast and can not wait for each one to arrive.
I will read them myself soon
Another Excellent Artemis Fowl June 25, 2008
Purchased the Audio CDs for travel, and just like the other 3 books, Nathaniel Parker does an excellent job in narrating. If you enjoy Jim Dale (Harry Potter Series), you'll enjoy Nathaniel Park too.
Book 4 offers a ton of adventure and suspense, but also contains highs and lows in the story line. Like every Artemis Book, it leaves you wanting more.
Another great Artemis Fowl book May 10, 2008
