 Rating:  - Artemis Fowl, book 6I got this book for my son for his 11th birthday. He loved it. He read it so fast. Rating:  - Not Eoin Colfer's BestHaving faithfully followed the Artemis Fowl series since its beginning, I have to say I was a bit dissapointed with The Time Paradox.

If the initial reader is unavailable, why not simply hold the audio until he or she can read it? This reader (and Lemony Snicket) would be great for certain titles, ...
