About this listen

 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!©2001 Eoin Colfer (P)2001 Penguin Audio Fantasy Fantasy & Magic Fiction

kiddos (boys 9 and 11) struggled a little with the narrator's accent initially but picked it up as they got into the story.

Bad audio quality, abridged, not Nathaniel Parker

Abysmal audio quality; abridged (criminal). Please add the rest fully narrated by Nathaniel Parker I'llbuyallofthemifyoudo.

Bad audio narration

The book is nice. The audio narration, not so much. At the beginning of the book, Artemis describes the character Nguyen Xuan's accent this way "your English has a tinge of Oxford about it..." However, the audible narrator proceeds to give Mr. Xuan a weird stereotypical caricatural bad "asian" accent. That was enough to guarantee 1 star from me.

Abridged...

Missed this when I bought the book, but this version is abridged, and it's awful! All of the important parts of the story are missing.
