It’s too flimsy. I know they want it to be light, but I think they went too far. Other than that, it’s outstanding.

Bella Swan is your typical 17 year old girl from Phoenix who flies to Washington to live with her father Chief Charles Swan in the town of Forks. It’s a typical Twin Peaks-esque town where bizarre things can happen even during the night, she meets up with new friends including a local handsome 17 year old boy named Jacob Black who’s a secret werewolf of an ancient race of Native-American werewolves. One day in school, she sees an odd kind of pale (almost like Michael Jackson) group of teenagers who are adoptive children of a local doctor named Carlisle Cullen as these teens aren’t quite like any teenager including their leader named Edward who catches her eye yet she doesn’t want him. Edward and Bella become close friends until one day he reveals to her that he’s a vampire but not of the typical one but he’s part of a good ancient race of vampires that sworn only to protect humans when only the bad vampires want human blood. He introduces him to his family such as Jasper with lover Rosalie who is a cutie, lovely sister Alice and brother Emmet who are friendly vampires. However there are some bad vampires called the Nomads with sexy Victoria, suave Lauraunt and bad-boy James want to turn Bella into a meal as she must be proected.

A unique and fun romantic supernatural fantasy epic that has became a pop culture phenomenon. Some people will tell you this novel is badly written, not quite as it maybe flawed in the writing as no book is perfect you know. It’s the characters you grow to enjoy in this literary franchise, i am a straight 28 year old adult male who enjoys these novels because i’m a vampire fan and not just of the same old vampire but of other vampires in world legends.

Some say this goes against the vampire lore, but not quite folks! i do admit Cullen’s race of vampires sparkling like diamonds in the sunlight is silly, it’s true i admit. But you have to understand that there are other types of vampires in world mythology besides Europe’s more well known Br

I had seen the book in the bookstore but decided not to buy it until I found a copy for $ .50. I loved it. I have read it and listened to it on CD now several times and still find myself laughing out loud. The characters are likeable and complex, the plot is smooth but keeps you on your toes. The technology that he has developed is amazing and very cool. Even more, the technology is based on environmentally sound ideas that are subtle but do make you think. I read my first copy until it fell apart and then bought a hard back (I hardly ever buy hard back.) I have bought this book several times as a gift and even had my mother read it. FANTASTIC BOOK!

I was suprised by the Garmin portable friction mount. Things like this that I’ve tried before wind up slipping around
and not working well. This piece really works, I doubt that I’ll ever use the provided windshield mount. This thing hangs to whatever it’s put on, the dash , your knee,or the center console. Its use is a satisfying experience.

I had to upgrade because I bought a new computer and my 2003 license was expired. This is a GREAT replacement for the 2003 Microsoft Office! I can’t say more about it. It was shipped to me as described when I purchased it and within minutes of receiving it I had it installed and running flawlessly!!! A MUST BUY!!!!

people complain that the characters are thin. Maybe so, but the story is rich. rich in history, rich in emotions rich in the real life of old time traveling circus. I lived on the ringling train in the 70’s. As I read the story I felt transported back to the life. If you want to experience the life, read it. Not for everybody but everything for some. Drama

I first saw this on a shelf a couple years back and was intrigued by it but hadn’t picked it up to read it until my 8 year old insisted that it was an awesome story and that I’d love it. So, with him continually asking how I liked it, I read Artemis Fowl.

When asked by my wife about the plot, my best quick answer was that it is sort of an “evil Richie Rich carrying out a dastardly scheme against the world of fairies.” (For those unfamiliar with Richie Rich, he’s the super rich kid with tons of fun gadgets and crazy adventures to save his family/friends/world). In this case, the rich kid is 12-year-old Artemis Fowl, and his motives are less altruistic.

The writing was well done. It was written very simply and straightforward which was good considering the audience. It was something that a young reader could pick up and push through without getting bogged down by the language. The writing and dialog was natural and flowed well. Overall, very nice.

I have only 2 gripes about the writing itself:
1. Numerical consistency. Specifically, the phrasing “[something happened:] in as many [amount of time:].” You’ve likely heard this phrase before…along the lines of “He fell on his butt three times in as many seconds.” Which means he fell on his butt 3 times in 3 seconds. Colfer uses this phrasing enough that it got distracting to me, especially the times when he used it without a good frame of reference or without numbers. I don’t have the text with me to provide an exact example…but the memory I have is something like “he passed out again in as many minutes.” The numerical reference “again” isn’t really concrete (can be alluded to as it being 2 since it’s the second time) and the timeframe mentioned didn’t fit based on everything that happened in between.
2. Swearing. This is a book presumably for an audience of young kids. Through the first ~2/3 of the book, the author introduced a fairy swear word and used it a handful of times. The word itself is meaningless an

Good card, just can’t get it to work with our Kodak camera. Works great with our Canon and our Aptek video camera.

This book that so many have pertained to as “insightful,” was merely a waste of time and money in my opinion. If you are reading this book thinking about how insightful the questions are, you’re obviously not very insightful yourself. If you’re reading the answers to the questions and thinking how insightful they are, you’re not very creative. The opinions this man offers as “answers from God” make me feel like I am watching a political debate between our worthless government involving a j*ck*ss and elephant poop.(Catch my drift?)If you really want a truly interesting read, try The Satanic Bible or the real Bible. The writing in either of those two books put this one to complete shame.
