Story
Myles and Beckett Fowl are twins, but the two boys are wildly different. Beckett is blonde, messy and sulks whenever he has to wear clothes. Myles is impeccably neat, has an IQ of 170 and 3-D prints a fresh suit every day - just like his older brother, Artemis Fowl. A week after their 11th birthday the twins are left in the care of house security system NANNI for a single night. In that time, they befriend a troll on the run from a nefarious nobleman and an interrogating nun, both of whom need the magical creature for their own gain....

Story
Artemis' little brothers, Myles and Beckett, borrow the Fowl jet without permission and it ends up as a fireball over Florida. The twins plus their fairy minder, the pixie-elf hybrid Lazuli Heitz, are lucky to escape with their lives. The Fowl parents and fairy police force decide that enough is enough, and the twins are placed under house arrest. But Myles has questions, like: who was tracking the Fowl jet? Why would someone want to blow them out of the sky? These questions must infuriate someone, because Myles is abducted and spirited away from his twin.

Story
Once I have hair I'll be happy.' At least that's what Irish ex-army sergeant Daniel McEvoy tells himself.As a doorman at a seedy New Jersey casino, dealing with unpleasant customers, a neighbour and a receeding hairline are all part of Dan's daily grind. Then he has a particularly bad day. Not only does his one friend, dodgy doctor Zeb Kronski, mysteriously disappear, but Dan's sometime-girlfriend, casino hostess Connie, is found with a hole in her head.

Story
The superb follow-up to Eoin Colfer's highly acclaimed Plugged, written with the warmth and wit of his Artemis Fowl series. Dan McEvoy doesn't set out to get into violent confrontations with New Jersey's gangster overlords but he's long since found that once you're on their radar, there's only one way to slip off it. So he's learned his own way to fight back, aiming to outwit rather than kill unless he really has no choice. But when Dan's glam step-gran Edit shows up on the hunt for his dishevelled aunt Evelyn, it quickly becomes clear that family can provide the deadliest threat of all.

He must travel back through time to steal the cure from the clutches of the devious mastermind.... Artemis Fowl.

Story
The complete BBC Radio collection bringing together two full-cast dramatisations of Douglas Adams' Dirk Gently novels. In Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency Dirk Gently has an unshakable belief in the interconnectedness of all things, but his Holistic Detective Agency mainly succeeds in tracking down missing cats for old ladies. Then Dirk stumbles upon an old friend behaving bizarrely - and he's drawn into a four-billion-year-old mystery that must be solved if the human race is to avoid immediate extinction....
Publisher's Summary
From the internationally best-selling author of the Artemis Fowl series: Eoin Colfer's first adult fantasy novel is a hilarious, high-octane adventure about a vodka-drinking, Flashdance-loving dragon who's been hiding out from the world - and potential torch-carrying mobs - in a Louisiana bayou...until his peaceful world's turned upside down by a well-intentioned but wild Cajun tearaway and the crooked (and heavily armed) law officer who wants him dead.
Squib Moreau may be swamp-wild, but his intentions are (generally) good: he really wants to be a supportive son to his hard-working momma Elodie. But sometimes life gets in the way - like when Fake Daddy walked out on them leaving a ton of debt, or when crooked Constable Regence Hooke got to thinking pretty Elodie Moreau was just the gal for him....
An apprenticeship with the local moonshine runner, servicing the bayou, looks like the only way to pay off the family debts and maybe get Squib and his momma a place in town, far from Constable Hooke's unwanted courtship and Fake Daddy's reputation.
Unfortunately for Squib, Hooke has his own eye on that very same stretch of bayou - and neither of them have taken into account the fire-breathing dragon hiding out in the Louisiana swamp...
For Squib Moreau, Regence Hooke and Vern, aka Lord Highfire of Highfire Eyrie, life is never going to be the same again.
Highfire: A triumphant genre-bending tour de force of comedy and action by the million-copy-selling master storyteller.

Unreal!
I had a strange love/hate relationship with this book. I loved it when things were going well, and totally had to put it down when things weren't working out. But then of course I had to pick it up again in case things worked out after all. I loved the language used and the descriptions were original and captivating. There are many awesome quotes I'd love to add to my vision board. And the amount of foul language, in a world far too focussed on propriety, was deliciously refreshing. The book took me into a wonderful world of wild imagination where I made friends with a dragon and got to understand teenagers and their goofy ways much better - my daughter is Squib's age so this is very helpful. I highly recommend this book if you want to be taken on a bit of a wild ride.

Adult /= sweary
Very disappointed. I loved Eoin Colfer's books as a child and now read them with my own children. I got about 5 minutes into this one and gave up. Just because it's a book for adults doesn't mean it needs to be full of swearing. I don't want to listen to that and Colfer is such a great writer, he doesn't need it.

the narrators accent took a few chapters to get into but it worked, so stick with it. Great writing from Colfer as usual but this ain't no kids book so be aware. Strong language and sexual references make this a very funny adult book. well done Eoin a great transition and it comes highly recommended.
