Pony In My Pocket

In all my life, I have read hundreds of books, and few were so enjoyable as this book, Artemis Fowl.

The book is set in our current time and begins with a 12-year-old genius finding a fantastical creature, green and slimy and in pain from alcoholism, and forces it to give him a copy of The Book–the Fairy’s Bible in essence. From here it goes into an exciting, dangerous, and twisty story full of surprises and characters you wouldn’t expect.

The novelty of this book is the fact that it has an entirely new take on fairies. It doesn’t show them as cute little creatures who sprinkle pink sparkly dust all over you. These fairies are heavily-armed, high technology, and completely human-like. They have very human qualities that makes them appealing, but they have (obviously) many things about them that are inherently fairy. They have familiar fairy qualities, but yet Colfer was able to add other elements to the fairies that we’ve never seen before. One of the most unique was the reinvention of the dwarf. Dwarfs have been transformed into tunnelers who consume the dirt and digest it in seconds to tunnel through the ground and cover up their tracks. It seems disgusting when you first read it, but it comes in handy later in the book and in the series.

The fairy technology is one of my favorite parts of the book. Such intricate ideas and designs–truly ingenious. There are too many to list them all, but probably the most dangerous is the Bio-Bomb, or “blue rinse.” It destroys all life in its proximity, yet leaves all other structures intact. This is one of dozens of inventions Colfer’s devious mind has created.

The writing was excellent, and although it was cheesy at some points, there are some witty elements that are going to make you laugh.

A great book all in all. I would call it “required reading!”

This is a well-written and engaging book! My only complaint is the book’s title, which IMO is misleading. A far better title would be something like “The Most Simple System: Recordkeeping for Sole Proprietors” (alternative version: replace ‘Sole Proprietors’ with ‘Independent Professionals’). I’ve been an ‘independent professional’ for quite a few years, but still picked up a few useful tips.

Bought this iPod for my wife to make it easier for her to enjoy her music and meditations. iTunes is very easy to use to download any kind of music, etc. Should have bought this item alot sooner than I did.

I’m sure I’ll be duplicating some of the reviews, but I had to add my love of these books. I, like so many, thought these were books for teenagers and ignored the series completely for the longest time. My friend said she started to read them and encouraged me to try the first one just to see. We both have kids in elementary school so we aren’t the “target audience”, although I truly believe these books aren’t YA. (Stephenie even said herself that the first one was never written that way, it is just the genre they got put into.)

So, I began reading, and began falling in love with this story. There are a few words that get repeated too often and there are even typos here and there, but it didn’t matter. You get to step into another world and learn all about these wonderful characters with Stephenie’s fantastic descriptions. And you literally feel the passion going on between them!

I’ve seen the first movie, but will not see any more. There is just no comparison since there is soooo much more in the books. I have read all four books (and the Midnight Sun draft online) and would say Twilight is my favorite of the published ones in this series. But I love each one since it continues the story. It will be hard to find something better, but I hope to find other books as good.

I was hesitant to buy a steam cleaner, but after researching it I picked this one and am I glad I did! It works great!!! Better than I ever thought possible for a home unit. The only thing that is missing would be a bare floor accessory and something to do walls with also it could come apart for stairs because it is a little tricky taking it up and down the steps. Other than that this SteamVac is perfect!

So, everybody’s obsessing over Twilight. Yeah, I got drawn to it by watching girls gush on and on about how good the series was, and how ‘hot’ Edward was, and wearing the tshirts. So, I tried it out. I wish I hadn’t. People need to learn the difference of a good book, and a bad book. And this book is an AWFUL book.

Heres how it went:

“Hi, I’m Bella. I am whiny, selfish, vain, and completely stupid. All the boys adore me, and everybody loves me.”
“Hi, I’m Edward. I am a vampire, and I eat grizzly bears, and I sneak into your house at night and watch you sleep.”

So, you get the point. But, what caused it to be like this?? Lets take a look…

Bella Swan: Okay, first of all, the name was cliche. She ADORES attention. She claims to be shy, but she soaks up every ounce of attention she gets, and then, when she doesnt get enough, she throws some kind of fit saying her life sucks for some absurd reason. In fact, she is the only teenager I’ve read about who throws at least one tantrum per chapter, fit for a kindergartner. Ugh. Then, she moves into Charlie’s house, who cant cook anything even though hes lived on his own forever. As soon as Bella gets to her school, all the boys immediatly fall in love with her, including the creepy Edward. I’m not kidding. Edward is apparently the hottest, most mysterious guy at their school, but he is completely creepy. In a matter of four chapters, they fall in love. Then, Bella Swan, whom I now call WHINY LEECH LOVER is stalked by James who wants to eat her (GO JAMES) simply because she smells good. Then, eddy saves her, then the end.

Edward Cullen: Prepubescent leech. My new nickname for him, too. Or else, SPARKLY BOYFRIEND. Or, CREEPER. Yeah, so Sparkly boyfriend is completely smug. Bella sees past his completely creepy, vain nature, and claims she would die without him, but when he does leave in New Moon, she stomps on Jacob’s feelings. Yeah, Bella needs to seriously get her throat ripped out. If I was a leech, or a werewo

One of the biggest draws for me with the Kindle was its size. I like to read “on location” (e.g., at the beach, and I like to carry a book with me at all times), and hardback books are too heavy. Paperbacks are often not much better because they’re usually quite thick. The Kindle is about the size of a magazine, and very easy to slip into an average-sized purse. At first, I thought I would be put off by reading on an electronic device, but after using it for a while, books seem annoying! You have to hold the pages open; you can lose your place. I also love the ease of acquiring a new book RIGHT WHEN I WANT IT! Plus, Kindle “books” are cheaper than their paper counterparts.

Overall, if you read with any amount of regularity, this is definitely worth it!
