... - he's done quite a bit of children's/YA audiobooks, another great English voice. Also Nathaniel Parker - he reads the Artemis Fowl series and does fabulous voices. Those are probably my favorite audios. Jim Dale is amazing, no doubt about it, and I also love Tim Curry reading the Lemony ...

Artemis Fowl?! Couldn't stand it back when i read the first one before it was a series, just didn't seem that engaging to me. Pendragon however, might just be worth a try.

Just finished the first Artemis Fowl (which I found lively but unexceptional) and the warm and personable Get a Life by French graphic novelists Dupuy and Berberian. Apparently the main character from Get a Life ages quite naturally (if not completely happily) over the course of the comics, ...

I like Artemis Fowl too. Oh, to be a children's librarian! I also love J. K. Rowling, and Meg Cabot's The Mediator series. Just started Angie Sage's Septimus Heap series, and somewhere in LT read about H.I.V.E. which sounds good but looks hard to get. Only one used one on Amazo ...

... Rings, although some HP fans might find it a bit rough going. And a totally different series that I have just loved is the Artemis Fowl series by Eion Colfer. His book The Supernaturalist is good too, but not as much fun as Artemis Fowl. A much older series that I enjoyed was the Pry ...

I've just finished listening to Half-Moon Investigations by Eoin Colfer. Not as good as Artemis Fowl but still entertaining. I read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe ages ago, but wanted to reread it and read the rest of the series. Problem is, I keep getting stuck at the part ...

... think Harry Potter fans would like? I'm trying to come up with a list. So far I have a few suggestions like Pendragon and Artemis Fowl Does anyone have any more suggestions?

... which I liked. Next I was going to listen to Swift as Desire by Laura Esquival, but that has been superceded by Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer read by Nathaniel Hawthorne. I'm realling enjoying it. I remember seeing Artemis Fowl in the bookstores and turning my nose up at a story ...

I was going to listen to Swift as Desire by Laura Esquival, but that has been superceded by Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer read by Nathaniel Hawthorne. I'm realling enjoying it. I remember seeing Artemis Fowl in the bookstores and turning my nose up at a story about a 12 year old evil genius. ...

Kconcannon, My 10 year old son is currently working his way through the Artemis Fowl series. My sister bought them for him for his birthday and I have to admit that at first I thought they were too old for him but he is really enjoying them. I will look for the Half-Moon investigations for ...
