MUCH better than the MOVIE version ...

+ Better than the Movie

+ Artemis Fowl

I picked up Artemis Fowl from the library this past weekend (for the fifteenth time), and I must say, it is quite a good book.

Purchased the Audio CDs for travel, and just like Book 1, Nathaniel Parker does an excellent job in narrating. If you enjoy Jim Dale (Harry Potter Series), you'll enjoy Nathaniel Park too. Book 1 picks right up with a ton of adventure and suspense. Like every Artemis Book, it leaves you wanting ...

For those of you that think you have to read ...
