Read by Nathaniel Parker.
Opal Koboi, power-crazed pixie, is plotting to exterminate mankind and become fairy queen. If she succeeds, the spirits of long-dead fairy warriors will rise from the earth, inhabit the nearest available bodies and wreak mass destruction. But what happens if those nearest bodies include crows, or deer, or badgers -- or two curious little boys by the names of Myles and Beckett Fowl? Yes, it's true. Criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl's four-year-old brothers could be involved in destroying the human race. Can Artemis and Captain Holly Short of the Lower Elements Police stop Opal and prevent the end of the world?

Sad to see it end submitted by Jen Chapin-Smith on August 31, 2012, 4:03pm I love the Artemis Fowl series and am sad that "Last Guardian" is the end of it. Like the other Artemis books, this one has a riveting plot line. Artemis himself is far more likeable now as he is less snide and egotistical, though no less intelligent.

Some parts of the book are fun, such as when the author mocks psychologists' inkblot tests. Other parts are violent and disturbing (SPOILER WARNING) such as when the masked dwarf shoots two people in cold blood. The murders' lack of drama is even more frightening in some ways as it makes the violence so casual.

I recommend almost everything Colfer has written, including this book, but start with the first one in the series and work through them chronologically before reading "The Last Guardian" so you understand what's happening.

Pretty good submitted by zmclaugh on July 8, 2019, 7:52pm Again, this book takes Artemis Fowl up another notch. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I guess you have to keep going bigger and bigger in any series.

Last of the series submitted by heapah on August 28, 2022, 11:15pm Last of the series, and decent ending. Oh, and Nathaniel Parker does a great job bringing the characters to life.
