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!”

The Microsoft Office that I was using was 97. I bought a new computer, so I wanted to upgrade to Office 2007. I cannot live without Word and Excel. It was about a week before Office 2010 came out, but then I saw a special deal to get 2010 free. I think it runs through September. Amazon was offering 2007 for $99.99 ($50 cheaper than anywhere else) and just by registering my product by September, I could download the new Office 2010. I’m so glad I went this route. I saved money and I love both Office 2007 and 2010. It is well worth your hard earned money to buy Office 2007 with the free upgrade!

My family travels a lot internationally, so I wanted a scale to weigh the luggages are within airline limits of 50 lb. The product served the purpose and showed the weight very close or same as the airline scale at the check-in. Will look forward to its accuracy as the product ages.

Advantage:
- no on-off switch
- auto-calibration
- shows the final weight for 2-3 sec, so you can step down and still check the value registered (in case you have a big belly)

Note: I didn’t read the box/instructions carefully and ended up buying new batteris for this, but the product comes with 4 AAA size batteries, hidden in the box.

I don’t know why anyone would use a suction mount after using this product! If your gps fits with this mount, buy it — buy it along with purchasing your new gps now and never use the suction mount that comes with your unit. This thing never slides on the dashboard, it’s portable, and it’s easy to adjust for the best viewing angle. It works.

The Catcher in the Rye was a hard to put down book. I loved the conversational style of writing, “and all” (a phrase often used by Salinger). I had to close my mind to some of the language. Although the choice of words may have been fitting to capture the essence of the main unstable character represented in the book, “and all”.

Glad I read the book and would recommend it to others.

I was delighted with the speed in which I received the book, as well as the condition of the book.
