Favorite book of the series!

I love this book, because it shows how Artemis’s character of continues! We also see a lot of Julius Root, which I love! This is a fun, easy read, good for all ages! It is by far my favorite out of the entire Artemis fowl series! The voice acting is phenomenal, the amount of accents shown is incredible. The sound quality is amazing. Every chapter brings something to the table. would recommend.

Fast-paced and witty!

We were pleasantly surprised by this series! As Harry Potter lovers, it's hard to find anything that measures up, but this was completely original! It's also hard to find stories that are just as entertaining to the adults in the house, as the children. I found myself giggling, and wanting to find out what would happen next!

First of all, the narrator is fabulous! He is nearly as good as Jim Dale, and that is high praise. He does all of these great accents, and gives the characters different voices.

The story is basically faires meet Bourne Identity! Sounds strange, but you actually get so caught up in all of the scenes, that you forget that the characters are centaurs, etc. Since I love imagination, I was delighted, when litte tidbits were thrown in as you went along, that reminded you of the dilemas that these mythical creatures might face. I also love witty humor, and this book has it's share of that!

Character/moral issues: Okay, so Artemis starts out a bad guy, and you really aren't entirely sure who to root for...but for slightly older children, it isn't that big of a deal....and I love how Artemis slowly gets a conscious, as the series goes along.

The drawback to these stories: the language. Okay, so it's not horrible: a damn here and a hell, there...but honestly, I don't know why the author would include this kind of language, in a children's story! Not necessary.:(

The characters are lovable! Butler is awesome! I came away wanting a "Butler"!
Lots of fun, overall.

I LOVED IT!

I was so sad at the end it was such a good book! definitely a 10/10 book! oh and the narrator was super good at the accents I loved this book for as long as it lasted thank you!
