Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer is an enjoyable fantasy book that I would recommend to kids of all ages. The story opens in the bustling metropolis of Ho Chi Minh City. Artemis Fowl and his servant, Butler, are meeting a man who has promised to introduce them to a fairy. After meeting a weak fairy who has been drained of magic by rice wine, they trick her into sharing her secret fairy book with them in exchange for saving her life. The book, which contains all the rules and secrets of the world’s fairies, is photographed by Artemis and e-mailed to his server for safe keeping. Meanwhile, Captain Holly Short, a LEPrecon (Lower Elements Policeman) enters a pod in the fairy city near the center of the earth that will shoot her out of a vent to fight a troll who has escaped to the earth’s surface. Little does she know that soon after that she will be kidnapped by Artemis Fowl!

Artemis Fowl is a character with a plan. He is a driven, wealthy twelve year old who wants to steal fairy gold. In the beginning of the book he is described as an extremely pale young man who seems to have no friends except his servant, Butler. He is a bright, tech genius who is not in school because his mother is loosing her mind. My favorite part of the book was reading about how he is training himself to become a criminal mastermind. Right before he meets with Commander Root to negotiate for Fowl’s fairy hostage, he prepares for the interaction by concentrating on how he will act. “Artemis put on his best sinister face. Evil, he told himself, evil but highly intelligent. And determined, don’t forget determined. He put a hand on the doorknob. Steady now. Deep breaths, and try not to think about the possibility that you have misjudged this situation and you are about to be shot dead.” (Colfer 213)

The underground fairy world in Artemis Fowl is an incredibly imaginative creation. Although we are told a limited amount about the underground city, we are thrown into a fantastic description of Captain

I have just now completed a leisurely reading of “Artemis Fowl”. I loved every page of it, too. Now then, I came here to Amazon in order to boy ALL of the books in the series, but then I discovered that this book is supposed to be a children’s series?!?

What? Well, I think not. I am very much an adult, a retired High School Teacher and the proud father of 4 now-grown kids. My wife and kids tell me that I am really just a grown-up kid, but that is only after I spray someone in the yard with the water hose.

This book is great fantasy/adventure reading for adults. Sure, there are some trite phrases, and a decided lack of sex and violence — well, except “cartoon-style” violence … so, OK, I guess it is a “G Rated” book. Personally I am happy with “G” Ratings.

Forthwith I am ordering all books featuring Artemis Fowl and his adventures. The author writes very much in the same vein as Talbot Mundy — a young person’s adventure writer of some years past. I liked it and I am looking forward to reading the rest of Master Fowl’s adventures.

Just got this scale, called them right away thinking maybe there is a problem with mine. A guy named Bill offered me help and resolved the problem. If you think yours doesn’t work, just call them.

I think Amazon needs to better promote the fact that the Kindle is very similar to reading a physical book versus using a laptop or Ipad, which keep me wide awake. When I get in bed, I tend to read to help me fall asleep. This does not work with a laptop or Ipad due to the back lit screen and whatever other “rays” are emanating from the screen. This is a big distinguishing factor that Amazon is not currently capitalizing on!

I purchasedthe newer version of the scale and I found it to be marginally accurate. I called the man at Eatsmart and he told me to try it over the weekend and if I still didn’t want it, he would send me a new one!!!!!!!!!! I didn’t have to ask. I called him today and he said he would do just that. I have never come across a company that tried to satisfy its customers like this. Ever!! If you need a good scale without frills, there is no question in my mind as to where you should go. Eatsmart products and the company owners are the very best.

Right out of the box one of the spin wheels was broken, so I had to take it to local repair shop and had it fixed under warranty. I used it quite a bit now and it works well. It gets the carpet clean and doesn’t leave it very wet if you go over it a couple of times for only extraction.

The product works as advertised. It is a big step forward with the wireless, over my edition one Kindle which will not pick up wireless in my area (mid-Wyoming). The down side from the first edition is the lack of sd card function which I make great use of with version one. Otherwise it has a clear crisp screen, syncs wirelessly and is very comfortable to hold.
