I always enjoy a new take on fairies, and these technology savvy fey are no exception. Instead of magical creatures that have no need of technology, these fairies have super-advanced technology combined with magic. But anyway, that’s just the fairies. The main character of the novel, Artemis Fowl, is a boy genius who is also a criminal. He is simply following in the footsteps of Fowls who came before him, and even has his own personal bodyguard who has been assigned to him since birth. Although Artemis is a criminal genius, he has problems at school, his mother suffers from some sort of mental disorder, and his father is missing in action–it’s interesting to see how Artemis tries to work out his problems, and how the story plays out in the end.
I recommend this book, especially for tweens and younger teens, but I enjoyed the story as an adult, too.

I had done some research and decided to buy a new camera. While the camera is not the important part of this review, its the whole reason for it.
Ibought the camera and this memory card was recomended to me so I bought it… BAD idea! I used this BRAND NEW card in my BRAND NEW camera to take pictures of my second daughters birth. We took about 400 photos and the card didnt respond when hooked up to the computer. So I took it to the camera store $80.00 later only 1/3 of the pictures could be rendered from their “special software”. To make a long story short, if you get a good deal on a camera PAY EXTRA for a good card it will save you headache.
