Your wonderful Australian actress, Naomi Watts stars and quite brilliantly captures a mother's fear, physical exhaustion and determination in the face of an incredible challenge. I'm being very long-winded about this but at one point Watts' badly wounded character pulls what can only be called 'gouts' out of her mouth. No picture was necessary but the director didn't agree I suppose. In any case the visual of a series of clots coming up out of her throat was stomach churning to say the least. Apologies for the graphic description!

My kids LOVE Artemis Foul, and I just checked the audio book out at the library so that I can also now enjoy it while we drive in the car (we travel a long distance for sports practice.) I'm sure your vocab highlights will help me out; the pictures are a wonderful addition! Thanks so much. I also like the books you've got listed in your previous post and will have to check them out.
