This review is particularly of Nathaniel Parker’s narration, and not so much of the Artemis Fowl book itself, as there are already so many reviews on that.
If you want an auditory treat, get this audiobook – Nat Parker is a genius when it comes to bringing these characters to life. He does wonderful accents – there are multiple Irish accents for Artemis, Butler, Juliet and Angeline, but many others for the fairy people which are just amazing. In addition, his own, natural speaking /reading voice is so smooth , resonant and perfectly paced that is is a treat in itself. Unlike other audiobooks which I have listened to, you can’t hear him breathing – with some readers you hear every big breath they take and it gets irritating. He reads it perfectly and the great fun is in the rapid dialogue exchanges where he must manage different voices with different accents as well as the narrator’s voice.
The story itself, well, there are some boring and technical parts which I tried to read, and Artemis’s character is not terribly likeable, but the way Parker voices him makes you feel some affection for the character.
If you like the books, this is a worthwhile addition because of the way the characters are brought to life – and if you didn’t like the books, it’s a great listen just for Parker’s enormous vocal talent.

I purchased this scale because I wanted an accurate digital bathroom scale. I check Amazon to review the scales they had and came upon the EatSmart Precision Digital. After reviewing the customers reviews I decide to give this scale a try. I found to to be as good or better than the previous reviewers comments. We are totally satisfied with our purchase and would recommend this scale to anyone interested in an accurate, clean and stylish bathroom scale. Great Product!!

I don’t want to waste anymore of my life on this book so my review will be brief. I do not understand the popularity of this book. It is poorly written. The characters and relationships portrayed are shallow, unhealthy, and annoying. The dialogue is insipid and embarrassing. I’m genuinely surprised that I suffered through to the end of it. There are SO many books that are more worthy.

My husband and I have been wanting to purchase the FURminator for some time, but were putting off buying it because of the price (in pet stores and animal catalogs, this product was $50+). With economic times like they are now, buying pet supplies is not a top priority! But living in Arizona with dogs – in the summer – certainly encourages their coats to shed. And we have 2 big animals (a golden labrador and a greyhound).
This product has been very satisfactory, and believe me, we have tried them all! The Furminator seems to comb out all that dead undercoat hair (especially on the lab), yet doesn’t seem to bother them when we use it on them. (There have been times when a comb or brush feels uncomfortable or even hurts when you use it on them).
