Another great Book read By a genius..
Rating: 5Artemis Fowl is Brilliant, another exceptional story written by the great Eoin Colfer. This product as an audio CD book. Read by Nathanial Parker who puts every ounce of realism into his art. The voices are the same as in previous Artemis Fowl book CDs. The CD's are packaged in a cardboard slip case as with the previous book. No plastic jewel case so teat with care. Not available anywhere in England so had to order from the USA. Well worth the effort. Simply brilliant.

Creative Adventure.
Rating: 5The Artemis Fowl adventures are clever, easy reads.
The stories are fun, the characters engaging. There
is lots of magic and adventure. This book is pretty
similar to the others in the series. It would be
helpful to read some of the earlier Books first.

Lost in Time.
Rating: 5What is left for a teenage criminal mastermind to do? Only save the world from certain destruction, help the fairy world avoid detection once again, and outsmart an even younger genius who thinks too much like himself. Artemis Fowl certainly has his plate full in "The Lost Colony", a quick paced adventure that picks up right where "The Opal Deception" left off.
Artemis Fowl has grown wiser (if that's possible) in all his escapades of the past, and has turned his attention to tracking the appearance of a demon (the eighth members of the fairy world) in the modern world. Yet Artemis is not alone, for a female genius just younger than him has her sights on capturing the demon and using him for scientific gain. For once, Artemis has his heart in the right place. Knowing that the disintegration of the world the demons are trapped on would led to chaos in his world, he must prevent anyone from capturing the demon. But the best laid plains seldom work, unless you're Artemis Fowl and have a resorvoir of back-up plans.
With "The Lost Colony", the fifth book in the Artemis Fowl series, Eoin Colfer has lost none of the magic of the previous four. The world he has created for Artemis and his magical friends is as spellbinding as ever, rift with humor, and touched with intelligence. Readers will wish that they could actually inhabit this world where time travel is possible and fantastical creatures coexist (even unknowingly) with human kind, and where all kinds of magic are possible.

Noooooooo! Come back Artemis!.
Rating: 1Eoin Colfer needs to stop. No, really. This book disappointed me to no end. I simply adored the first book. I mean, how cool is it to be rooting for the bad guy for a change? But then, Colfer began making Artemis a completely different character. He made Artemis come over to the good side. NO WAY! Bring back the criminal Artemis of old! This book was just plain weird. If I were you, I would read to book four or so, then stop. It all goes down hill from there
