The nice thing about this book is that its full of humour and action, but not the standard knights in shining armor on a battlefield kind of action as it is with most fantasy books. While the latter is fun to read as well, it is nice to get a break from those epic type fantasies, and that is exactly what Artemis Fowl delivers, albiet in a more teen friendly way.
An interesting storyline combined with good humor and a very interesting main character makes this a great read for teens.

I’ve owned and used several Macs over the years and the Mini’s are possibly my favorite models. They are small, energy efficient and perfect for what I need to do: web maintenance, Microsoft Office docs and spreadsheets, some Adobe inDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator work and email and web browsing.
These new models with the firewire 800 make backups speedy and painless and the addition of 802.11n, the ability add up to 4GB of RAM, and outputs for TWO displays round out a perfect machine for me. After a few months I ended up getting a laptop because I was traveling for work so if anything ever happens this will be my backup, but in the meantime it’s hooked up to our TV for DVD’s, streaming Netflix & Hulu, and acting as a server for my wife and my iTunes libraries.

I would not consider myself a big reader. Every once in a while I pick up a book, get about halfway through and lose interest. But this book is absolutely amazing! It’s incredibly engrossing. I couldn’t put it down from the minute I started. I even took it on the treadmill with me. I hate working out but I would get so into reading that my workout was a breeze. This book is an absolute page turner. I was almost waiting for the boring part where I would lose interest but it never happened. There was always the feeling of “what’s going to happen next?!” The only bad part is that it’s finished. I’m a finicky reader so it rarely happens- but I absolutely mourned the end of this book. I absolutely love Abileen and Minny and could read about their lives every day. I don’t want to give anything away because almost every page is more interesting and hinges on the next. So about the author I’ll say- Kathryn Stockett does a great job of capturing moods, personalities, and the racial and political climate of the era.
Absolute must read- I almost wish I had not read through it so fast. My advice is to savor it as much as possible!
