When it became clear that they could not win, all of the fairies moved belowground–except for the 8th Family, the demons. Rather than surrender, they used a magical time spell to take their colony out of time and into Limbo. There they have lived for decades, preparing to exact their violent revenge on humans. Now the time spell is unraveling, and demons are beginning to materialize without warning on Earth. If humans were to find out about them, all fairies would be exposed. To protect themselves, the fairies must predict when the next demon will materialize. But in order to do so, they will have to decipher temporal equations so complicated; even a great brain like Foaly can’t understand them. But he knows someone who can: Artemis Fowl. So when a very confused demon imp appears in a Sicilian theater, Artemis is there to meet him. But he is not alone. There is someone else who has unlocked the secrets of the fairy world and managed to solve complex mathematical problems as only a genius could. And she is just twelve years old. . . From the Cassette edition. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Creative AdventureThe 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. Rating: - Lost in TimeWhat 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 ... Read More Rating:  - Noooooooo! Come back Artemis!Eoin 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 Rating: - Kids love the book!My kids love this book series. They even talked me into reading it! Great read!! Rating:  - A conniver with a conscience and a heartSeriously, I could listen to Nathaniel Parker read stock reports, the city directory or the "terms of use" boilerplate that accompanies software installation packages. He is wonderful. Parker also reads the Young James Bond series which are so vivid in my mind now, I may never read the Higson books. I prefer to listen to them. I'd never listened to an Artemis Fowl book before, and I did not even notice the name of the narrator. When I heard Parker's dulcet tones ... Read More |
