When you think of fairies, do you think of cute little winged creatures? Well, you are wrong. The book I read was Artemis Fowl. This book is about a boy named Artemis Fowl, who tries to kidnap a fairy and demand a ransom. He kidnaps Captain Holly Short, a recon officer. Her superior, Commander Root, sends an LEP (Lower Elements Police) retrieval team to try to rescue Holly. Butler, Artemis’ bodyguard, is there to meet them. That is when things get a bit crazy. Trolls start breaking in. A dwarf starts digging his way in. There’s more…
I like this book, because of two reasons. First, the author really described the characters and the setting. Second, because he uses a lot of foreshadowing in the story. That is also bad, because he doesn’t tell you right away what Artemis’ plans are. But that is also good, because they leave you thinking “What is his plan?” If you are interested in magical creatures, kidnapping, magic, and series, then pick up this book and don’t put it down until you finish!

I bought this book just a week or so before Salinger died. I finished the book I was reading a few days after his passing and decided to finally read this alleged masterpiece — and masterpiece it is, indeed. I wish I would have read it when I was 17, but alas, I waited until age 31. Nevertheless, I remember what it was like to be 17, and honestly, I related to the character Holden Caulfield a lot today; even as a married father and professional “phony.” I can only imagine how utterly groundbreaking this book must have been when it was first published in 1951.
What I loved about the book: I could say “everything,” because I did, but I’ll give a few specifics. First, I loved the voice in which it was written. Holden is sarcastic, snotty, and just way too cool for almost everything — just like I was when I was 17. I loved the exaggerations and hyperbole. I identified with his descent into near-madness, being in that awkward stage between childhood and adulthood, not knowing what to do, not really understanding or not wanting to deal with the consequences of your actions, really just not being ready to grow up. As Holden wanders New York in a sleep-deprived stupor, he explores these issues within his mind; he jumps from one feeling to another, and breaks down and cries more than once. It truly is a powerful novel, and one of the three best I’ve ever read. Five stars all the way.
The book is just 214 pages and a breeze to read. If you haven’t read it, you should. I’ve been reading a lot of “classic” novels lately and this is the first one that I know for a fact I will be reading again in the future. I could see myself reading this every couple of years for the rest of my life — it was that good.

Let’s see what the truth of God’s Word says (as it speaks for itself, without human word)in comparison to ‘Conversations of God’ false proclamation of God.
For ALL HAVE SINNED and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) and the wages of sin is DEATH, but the GIFT OF GOD is eternal life in CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD (Romans 6:23). And just as it is appointed for a man to die once, and then comes judgement (Hebrews 9:27).
For it is BY GRACE you have been saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves, for it is the GIFT OF GOD, not by works, lest anyone should boast (Ephesians 2:8-9) but God demonstrated HIS OWN LOVE FOR US, in that WHILE WE WERE STILL SINNERS CHRIST DIED FOR US (Romans 5:8).
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will FORGIVE US OF OUR SINS and purify us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9)
Genesis 2: 20b -23
But for ADAM(MAN)NO SUITABLE HELPER was found. So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the LORD God made a WOMAN from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.”
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 – “Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.”
Deuteronomy 4:2- Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the LORD your God that I give you.
Proverbs 30:5-6-”Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Do not add to his words,or he will rebuke you and prove you a LIAR.
Revelation 22:18-19 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this

I bought this Kindle for my wife for Christmas after doing a lot of eBook reader research. I settled on the Kindle based on what I found (and because the Nook was not available until after Christmas). I’ve been reading a book on it, and had a few PDF docs converted and overall I like the device very much. My main criticism is the lack of epub support. My library has free downloadable eBooks and audio-books. I take the audio-books with me on my iPod, but can not take advantage of the epub format.
There are lots of new ebook readers coming out soon, I may consider one of those for myself unless we see an upgrade to the Kindle and perhaps a price drop.
-add epub support and get a fourth star
-drop the price a bit and get a fifth star (and more of my business)

I re-read this book in preparation for the release of the New Moon movie. I’m not normally a re-reader – I actually can’t remember ever re-reading a book in my adult life. It was just as good the second time around – I still had trouble putting down even though I knew what was going to happen.

I was fully prepared not to like this book. I’d heard it was poorly written and it is. But I liked it anyway! The story is really engaging despite the way it’s written. I liked it so much I went out and bought the next book in the series the day I finished this one. I’m hooked!
