Ok, this is nothing short of fantastic. Nice writing, great vocabulary. I’ve noticed that some people complain about the words they use. Well, I’ve been reading these since 9 and understand them perfectly. Wonderful. Yeah, it isn’t the kind of thing that you can skim over. But I like it. It’s really smart, you can tell that Eion Colfer is a smart guy. Also, people saying that Arty is obnoxious……..of course he is! Through the whole thing, I think that everyone was rooting for Holly. But, come on, he’s kid thief. What did you expect?
Okay, I’m gonna give you the basic summary.
Artemis Fowl the 2nd is a criminal mastermind. He is a sardonic genius, has made several huge criminal investments, has gotten the best of everyone he meets, bewildered and astonoished physchologicists…..and he’s only 12 years old. But what’s the cause? His father, Artemis Fowl 1st, has disappeared on a boat. Artemis won’t give up on him, even though the courts have officially proclaimed him dead, and his mother has sunk into a depression since her husbnad’s disappearance. Artemis will do anything to get his dad back, but he needs the money to fund it. Where to get it?
Kidnap on officer of the LEP, a police organization……..of the fairies. That’s right. 3 feet tall beings with magic coursing through their veins. Wings, pointy ears, the whole shebang. But these fairies aren’t…nice. They have guns. Advanced technology. And (what Artemis is after) a ransom fund. One consisting of billions of dollars in gold.
The next main character: Captain Holly Short, the first female officer of the LEP. She’s under pressure by the sexists…so when she skips out on the magic-restoring Ritual, she’s sent to get her powers back. Where she’s ambushed by the power-hungry Artemis.
I LOVED these books. Strict parents, be warned that there is a large amount of bathroom humor. A dwarf. The writing is sardonic and witty, which I loved. The characters were smart and fun, and everyone had a great characte

My wife and I recently acquired a Pomeranian* pup without first doing the research about these cute and affectionate little bundles of destruction. One of the things we learned post facto was that this breed is especially challenging to housebreak. I had borrowed my neighbor’s 6 year old Hoover SteamVac so much, that it hardly ever saw its home, so I decided the right thing to do would be to buy him a replacement machine. I’ve had especially good luck with refurbished units, so that’s the direction I went. It arrived looking like new, and it works as well as a new machine, too. It removes poop and pee stains very nicely. This model of Steam Vac works great, and I make no hesitation in recommending one – especially for Pomeranian* owners.
Verdict:
Hoover SteamVac = Thumbs up
Pomeranian* puppy = Thumbs down
Berber carpet = Thumbs down

The cable works out of the box. I use it to connect my PS3 to my screen. Nothing to complain. Great choice to save some bucks.

I love everything about it so far. Still exploring the device and finding out about the apps is a lot of fun. There are more than i expected and I find i can use more of them than I expected to.

I always worried when I parked my vehicle and left the GPS on the window that someone would break in and take it. Even taking it down left a ring on the glass that advertised the presence of the GPS. Whenever I needed to take the GPS in another vehicle, it was a hassle. With this “bean bag” I just grab it off the dashboard and hide it or take it with me. It has never fallen off the dash. It is just what I wanted.

” The machine is designed to automatically flush and clean ALL of the ink jet nozzles on a programmed schedule. A periodical cleaning or “flushing” of all the ink cartridges occurs approximately every two days.” Meaning?? It will drain your ink even if you never use the printer. I had to find out the hard way, even after reading all the reviews warning not to buy.
