De: Eoin Colfer

Narrado por: Nathaniel Parker

Criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl is back...and so is his cunning enemy, Opal Kobol. At the start of the fourth adventure, Artemis has returned to his unlawful ways. He's in Berlin, perparing to steal a famous impressionist painting from a German bank. He has no idea that his old rival, Opal, has escaped from prison by cloning herself. She's left her double behind in jail and, now free, is exacting her revenge on all those who put her there, including Artemis.

Meanwhile in the lower elements, Opal has planted a trap for Captain Holly Short and Commander Root of the LEPrecon fairy police--Root is killed, and Holly is framed for the murder. Instead of staying around to defend herseld, Holly rushes to the surface to warn Artemis. But before Holly and Artemis can get away, Opal arrives and abducts them both. Artemis is faced with a world he does not believe in and an enemy with an infernal plan to destroy this world forever.©2005 Eoin Colfer; (P)2005 Random House, Inc.

Another thrill ride through the center of the earth!

Amazing book!

This is my favorite series I have ever read! My favorite part was when they were attacked by trolls!

Still addictive

Wonderful story, fantastic performance, and I even played some of it for my 6th grade earth science test during a review about earth’s layers and tectonic plates. The characters are loveable, and are continuing to be developed throughout the series. My favorite scene was Artemis as an annoying teenager. I also appreciate that Butler and Mulch received more dialogue this time.

I gave it a 4 because the story ended rather quickly and it felt like it could have been concluded better.

Good book

This book is the best book of ever ever my favorite book in the world !

Enter a wonderful villan

I love all the Harry Potter books, but this one really establishes Opal as a world class villan. She causes no end of trouble in this one, with groups of characters trying to get in one place and stop the she devil. Seeing as the main character is a genius, kids (and grownups) can actually learn some science content without it feeling like another boring lesson.

once again another home run

Another teen book that gripped me from start to finish. I have aged along with the characters well I'm a bit older but I stay with the story and emotion. Nathanal makes you feel as so your are there you are a friend or enemy in the story. worth every cent and word

Nat Parker is AMAZING!

This narrator is the absolute best! He even does different accents, all of which are flawless!

Weak

Compared to the series so far, this is a weak addition. Second weakest book in the series. The weakest is yet to come.

Just Can't Get Enough

Book series if phenomenal. my brother read them when they cake out a long time ago and he told me of how awesome they are. I never listened but now I couldn't agree more . Looking forward to getting my hands on the next book!

Another hit

Would you consider the audio edition of The Opal Deception to be better than the print version?

Since I listen to unabridged versions, I consider it the same - but the character voices are provided for me.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Opal Deception?

Holly and the Captain in the cave.

What about Nathaniel Parker’s performance did you like?

He does a nice job with all the character voices and portraying their feelings.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Holly's lose of her mentor.
