I have been using MS Office Products since they came out. This latest version is completely new in terms of menu options, short cuts, and functions available via the menu bars. I had to upgrade and I am relearning from the beginning (almost) how to use Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. I would not recommend upgrading to this product. Plan on many many hours of learning if you do upgrade.

Artemis Fowl
Eoin Colfer
The main character is Artemis Fowl, a 12-year-old boy who is a cunning mastermind. He won’t stop until he gets his hands on fairy gold. Another important character is Captain Holly Short who is a magical elf on LEPrecon. She has no time to “refuel” her magic so her magic is very weak.
Artemis plans to take a fairy hostage for large sums of fairy gold! He is doing this evil scheme so that he can restore the Fowl family’s reputation and fortune.
The setting of the story takes place in many different locations but mostly at the Fowl mansion. The story goes on for a long 10 days, in current time.
The theme of this story is money because Artemis tries to steal fairy gold to reestablish his wealth.
I liked the story because you could never put the book down. It always kept you guessing on what the next step would be for the LEPrecon force and how Artemis would react.
A Sentimental Trip Home
Let me start by saying that I can see why a lot of people wouldn’t like this book, especially a lot of people who have to read it for school. To many people, it seems like the typical “teenage angst” kind of book, and it’s very easy to think that the whole way through the book. If you learn nothing from this book then you didn’t get the meaning behind it – it’s a blunt statement, either you agree or you don’t. And if you *do* get the meaning behind it, but found it to be boring or repetitive anyway, then that is your opinion. Some people just simply don’t like the same books.
I have to admit, when I first started reading Catcher in the Rye I was a bit struck at why it was considered a classic in literature. With me, I started seeing something deeper when I got to the middle of the book. It isn’t until you start seeing the same things being repeated that you start to notice. The title of my review is a great example. Holden Caulfield is a prime example of questioning youth. Most teenagers aren’t focused on morals, nor do many of them think deeply about what goes on in the world. And the few that do are like Holden; they’re confused, lonely, and scared as hell. So the more I read and the deeper I delved into the meanings behind Holden’s thoughts and ideas, the more I began to understand. Holden Caulfield isn’t just the average 16-year old. He is, yet he isn’t. He *thinks* deeper than the average teenager. He’s still immature in a lot of his thinking throughout the book but overall his character is just this mass of confusion. He seems confused at a lot of things, at why a lot of people are the way they are, yet he himself isn’t perfect. That is what shapes his character. He isn’t flawless, and the author, Salinger, clearly brings that out to the reader. Sometimes Holden contradicts himself – a flaw within himself that is telling the readers that he is human. By developing his character in this way, I saw it as a way to make you both like and dislike him. If you liked
