BRING BACK GERRY O’BRIEN!

No offence to Nathaniel, but Audible NEEDS to get Gerry O Brien back to finish the series!
Great narration, but accents are jarring, the characters are just not the same.

Gerry’s Artemis had the perfect balance of accent and tone, portraying his intelligence, sarcasm, cynicism and arrogance, the perfect blend of emotion and logic.

The characters have been completely transformed. Butler is Eurasian, not an Irish man! Fierce but quietly spoken. Nathanial makes him sound more brash.
Mulch just sounds like Hagrid!
We are going to listen to the series again and then read last book together, just so that we can end it on a more positive note.
We would buy it again though if Gerry returned!

Not as good as Gerry O'Brien

The story was as good as ever, but this recording was distracting as I missed Gerry O'Brien's narration so much. Nathaniel Parker isn't a poor narrator (although the accents weren't brilliant) I would be put off another book read by him. But you get used to hearing the stories in the same voice and Gerry was perfect for the Artemis Fowl books.

Not A Bad Ending Really.

The final book in the series was pretty good. I liked the ending although a little romance would have been nice. Eoin spent the series building the relationship between Artemis and Holly only for it to kind of face at the end. But all in all, a nice ending to a great series.

Another Tour de Force

What did you like most about The Last Guardian: Artemis Fowl, Book 8?

This story continued the excellent storyline Eoin Colfer has set out previously, Nathaniel Parker is the perfect narrater.

What other book might you compare The Last Guardian: Artemis Fowl, Book 8 to, and why?

Any of the other Artemis Fowl series.

Which character – as performed by Nathaniel Parker – was your favourite?

Has to be Artemis

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

This was downloaded for my 2 boys who listened to it over several sittings. And tend to re-listen to it at night as a bedtime story.

Any additional comments?

worth getting.

As excellent as ever

Eoin Colfer must be one of the best most entertaining writers around. I have thoroughly enjoyed every single book in the Artemis series. The performance from Nathaniel Parker is fantastic and has mattured as Artemis has over the years. Its amazing how each book has told more of the history of the fairy people and this novel has not let the side down. When is the next episode due.

What a stunning end to these beautiful stories

I’ve enjoyed the Artemis fowl books since I was a child and let’s just say this is possibly the most beautiful end to these books that there could have ever been. To say I was crying solidly for the last two hours of this book is no understatement. What a satisfying and emotional, beautiful end to these books
