Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer
If you like fantasy, you would love Artemis Fowl because it takes
place in Dublin, Ireland and has to do with breaking the barrier
between faeries and humans. Instead of faeries being the average
old fashioned kind, faeries live underground after we won the
“Eternal War”. The LEP(lower elements police) actually are
hundreds of years ahead of us and have evolved into a high tech
civilization. Artemis Fowl captures an LEP officer named Holly
Short with help from his bodyguard, Butler. Then the LEP try to get
Holly back. Artemis’s intention is to not hurt Holly but to trade
her for gold. The LEP decides to kill Artemis in many ways. Read
to see if Artemis survives!
I recommend this book to solo readers from eight to eighty. This book is
about a battle between faeries and humans but no one dies or gets hurt.
Artemis Fowl is on audio books, hardback and paperback. The best
feature is you have a code to crack on the bottom that is related to the
code in the book. This is the first in a fantasy series and you should
read Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident next.

An amazing book! It was recommended by a friend, and so I thought I would read it to see if it would give me any new insights into the age-old questions about the purpose of life etc. I didn’t really know what to expect, but it blew me away! It’s a conversation between an ordinary man called Neale Donald Walsch (with a lot of problems in his life) and God (you may not accept that it’s ‘God’ talking, but then that’s up to you) and it’s written in a very easy to read style. From the first page it had me riveted and I couldn’t put it down. You learn about the importance of trusting your feelings, expressing appreciation, how all human feelings are rooted in either fear or love and that we have been taught to live in fear. As it says in the book ‘precious little is said about the glory of the most loving’, but an awful lot is said in our society about being ‘better’, ’stronger’ and ‘cleverer’ than others. Fear motivates us to be this, because we don’t want to be considered failures. All the big questions are answered: why are we here? Why is there evil in the world? Is there sin? Is there a hell? If so, what is it? Why do things happen as they do? What happens when you die? How can I have successful relationships? Is having a lot of money a bad thing? And inbetween times there’s also humour, because we’re told that God has a great sense of humour!
So many of my questions were answered in a totally new way (going to church or reading the Bible had never given me answers like these) and not only did they make sense to me, they were also liberating! If you’re remotely curious about any of the above questions, then I would encourage you to read this book and decide for yourself whether the answers are for you or not.

Water for Elephants amazed me. It was not at all what I expected. I knew it was about a circus, and obviously for the title, an elephant was involved. What I was not prepared for however, was the cruelty it showed. And I don’t doubt for a minute, that even though this was fiction, that these atrocities didn’t happen in real circuses.
We are introduced to a death in the prologue. While it is fuzzy and hard to tell who’s who, we are witnesses to a scene that the narrator, Jacob, has viewed and never forgotten. Mayhem abounds as we discover that the menagerie of a circus is on the stampede.
We are then reintroduced to Jacob, many years later, as he is a resident at a nursing home. He is ninety three, or ninety one, he can’t keep it straight and a circus is in town and being set up within sight of the nursing home. This causes him to reminisce about his time spent with the Benzini Brothers circus.
As a runaway college student, after the death of his parents, he finds himself hopping a train that turns out to be part of the circus train. There, instead of being thrown off, he is taken in by an older man named Camel who secures him a job with the circus mucking stalls, which later turns into a position as the circus’s veterinarian.
He falls in love with Marlena, the wife of his schizophrenic boss August. While he keeps his love hidden, August, dangerous and unpredictable makes life tough for Jacob in the circus while in his better moments is a best friend to him.
He also makes the acquaintance of Walter, a dwarf clown whom he bunks with and together they help Camel in his time of need. He also makes an unlikely friend in Rosie, an elephant picked up from another failing circus whom he feels a bond with and devastation at her treatment from the cruel August.
Throughout the book it cuts back and forth from Jacob at the nursing home, to his reminisces of the circus and its happenings. One of the ending chapters recaps the prologue, only with more detail.
The Apple Ipod Touch is one of my most favorite gadgets. It is literally an extension of my life. I do not leave home without it. I purchased it from amazon with 1 day shipping and it got here the very next day which obviously meant that I did nothing for the next 3 hours except explore everything I could on it. I uploaded all my songs, pictures, videos, and some movies, instantly. All of them play beautifully on the Itouch. My baby cousins are also in love with the speakers that enable them to actually hear the games and movies they love. This is my second Ipod Touch. My first one was the first generation Ipod touch. I do love this one for its speakers though.
All in all, a great buy. You just have to love this product.

I decided to buy this book and read after watching the movie. I loved the movie and also loved the book. I didn’t want to put it down. I am going to buy the rest of them in the series and read them as soon as I can…..

A rather heartwarming coming-of-age story that takes place all in one weekend. Holden is at times the annoying smarty-pants sibling and roomie, but he’s always authentic as a character. He’s terribly unreliable as a narrator, but that reveals so much more about him than if Salinger had chosen to give an omniscient perspective.
Hello!
I bought the first Kindle when it came out and it was a great idea. When the NEW KINDLE came out I was also excited. I wanted the larger one but it had no international access so I settled on the smaller one — If Amazon had been good enough to tell me that in just a few months the larger one WOULD HAVE international access I would have waited and been LESS disappointed; BUT I would still have been disappointed.
So first of all, I feel a bit abused by Amazon and I have been a loyal customer from the very beginning. Back when people said, you must be crazy buying things on line.
The NEW KINDLE is not so different from the old Kindle. The best part is the “experimental” part which gives some access to the internet. But it is so primitive, I feel like someone has tied my arms behind my back and said to go ahead and enjoy the internet.
When I saw the I-PAD from APPLE — and it is not perfect either — at least not yet — I realized it was everything I wanted in the Kindle including FULL internet access and COLOR and LARGER SCREENS.
So my friends, listen to me. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON A KINDLE until they get it right some time in the future. WAIT for the Apple I-Pad and get what you really wanted all along.
So sorry Amazon and JEFF, ceo, you both broke my heart and lost my trust.
