I have a hybrid bike and the bottom of the basket did not clear the front tire. I can only adjust the handlebar so high so it didn’t work out. It did, however, fit well with some adjusting of the brake lines on my mountain bike which has a higher handlebar. The basket is 9 inches tall so make sure you measure how high your handlebar is from the front tire. It was a little harder to steer the bike with the added weight. My dog moved side to side when I steer. She is a 9 lb Shih Tzu and fit comfortably inside the basket. The basket did not sag at the bottom because it has a metal reinforcement that sat against the fork of the bike. I ended up getting the Topeak rear basket instead so it doesn’t interfere with steering and it can support my dog’s adult weight (15 lbs) better.
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.

The concept of this book is interesting. The substance is scary, from a biblical viewpoint.
If you want answers from God – read your BIBLE. It’s all there.

I’ve had many different pedometers, but this is by far the best one yet…easy to program and very accurate. the clip stays secure even while running. Love it!
