About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.


The abridged, downloadable audiobook edtion of Eoin Colfer's ARTEMIS FOWL - Die Hard... with fairies. Read by the actor Adrian Dunbar.

Twelve-year-old villain Artemis Fowl is the most ingenious criminal mastermind in history. His bold and daring plan is to hold a leprechaun to ransom. But he's taking on more than he bargained for when he kidnaps Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon(Lower Elements Police Reconnaissance Unit). For a start, leprechaun technology is more advanced than our own. Add to that the fact that Holly is a true heroine and that her senior officer Commander Root will stop at nothing to get her back and you've got the mother of all sieges brewing!

Great writing, lots of humour and action and not dumbed down at all even if it is a YA fiction. The characters are relatable and very likeable, especially Foaly and Mulch.

One of my favourite all time series.

loved reading this series as a child and had this audiobook on CD with this narrator so re-listening as an adult was very nostalgic

Great voice cast

The Artemis Fowl series is the ultimate audiobook to keep kids happy in the car. Forget the tsk, tsk, tsk of their iPods in the back, this is a rip roaring adventure, to be played loud on the stereo, so that Mum and Dad can enjoy too.

We have a 12 year old boy genius Artemis Fowl - a criminal mastermind, and his butler 'Butler' - a seven foot eurasian bodyguard.

He discovers that fairies realy do exist and live underground, but he wasn't expecting Holly Short - an elf in the Lep Recon ( geddit ?? ) Think an SAS version of Lara Croft.

Pull in her bad tempered boss ( say a 3 foot tall bad tempered 'Lethal Weapon' Police Captain), a egotistical technical boffin who happens to be a centaur ( just don't call him 'horsey' ), and a kleptomaniacal dwarf with a Liverpudlian accent, and you have a story of such fun and errant nonsense that your trip to the coast/airport will not be long enough.

Colfer has that same delicious naughtiness in his writing as Dahl - where else will you have the hero as the villain. You learn how to swear in Gnommish, for fronds sake ! There is flatulence, thumbs being stuck up noses, magic acorns, trolls, realy big guns, false bottoms, bio bombs and gold at the end of the rainbow.

The reader Adrian Dunbar is superb, and gives all the characters their own identity, with great pace and fun. Oh - and there's some realy cheesy music here too !! Absolute Must - my kids are now 21 thru to 15, and now Artemis Fowl comes on the trips to university !

Faries in Keflar !!

I like the reader of this version of Artemis fowl much better than the other guy. The voices are incredible and the story is of course a great one having read these books in my childhood.

The better version.
