I just loved this book. From the moment I picked it up and began reading it, I did not want to put it down. The story is very original and yet seemingly possible. I wish all fiction novels were as entertaining.

I will not spend time reiterating how absolutely perfect this book is. There is no denying it. But I want to let you know how enjoyable this book was to LISTEN to. The four women who read the characters “become” the characters in a way I’m not sure I’ve ever experienced before. If you have the opportunity to either read or listen to the book, I would definitely suggest that you listen to the book. You will NOT be disappointed.

I’m just curious why there are many of you who believe God wrote the Holy Bible when it was clearly written by men such as Neale as well.
I believed the book to be extremely loving and has given a sense of peace within my life. God is loving and if he is loving I don’t believe he can be vengeful and wrathful as well. He or we created ourselves to experience life in all spectrum’s of life and although I also do not agree with some of the ideas, the premise makes logical and spiritual sense with me.

Think of a juvenile James Bond with an IQ beyond Einstein’s. Then throw him in a world of technologically superior fairies, and the fun can begin.
And this is really what Artemis Fowl is about, first and foremost: FUN.
Some might say it reverts too easily to stereotypes, but I am not sure whether this is actually a bad thing. Too much depth, too much complexity in character development, might have taken the umpf out of the sheer fun ride I’ve had in reading Artemis.
The basic idea of the book–for those new to Fowl’s world–is that there is an underground world of fairies who go to great pains to keep their existence a secret from the human upper world. Until Artemis, a young criminal master mind, tracks down the fairies and upsets the whole balance of the worlds above and below ground.
In summary: Don’t expect the symbolism of Narnia, the metaphysics of His Dark Materials, or the detail of Harry Potter. Artemis Fowl doesn’t have any of those. Instead, expect to be blasted away by the explosive energy of a fun novel.

I had the Polar 625 for 3 years, but I never really trusted the results. The 625 was difficult to calibrate and the accuracy seemed to change depending on how fast I was running.
The Garmin 305 is great! I was worried that it would be too big, but, although bigger than a n normal watch, it doesn’t seem obtrusive. I have full confidence that my distance and HR readings are accurate and it is fun to export the data to Google Earth.
I enjoy running and this device adds to the fun.
Sigma 10 20mm f
I bought this lens about 3 weeks to take pictures of my new granddaughter in natural light. I use it on my Canon 40D. On this camera the effective focal length is 80mm.
I’m very pleased with the lens. Very sharp. Bright colors with good contrast. Good bokeh. Fast focus.
I’ve had some out of focus shots at f1.4 in poor light and with low contrast subjects, but this is very difficult for any camera/lens combo.
Overall a great lens and highly recommended.

Build Quality and Optics are superb compared to that of the Nikon Lens. I wouldn’t normally recommend a Sigma lens over a Nikon, but for this Lens I’ll have to make an exception. Also autofocuses on the D40/x/60 which is a major plus for people using those cameras. You won’t be disappointed with this lens!
