I own all of the Twilight books, but had to get this one. It is an awesome edition, in a collector’s box. The pages look old and ragged like you would expect the book to be.

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

The suction mount for my GPS was popping off frequently when I was driving. The only way to prevent this happening was to put water on the suction cup every time I mounted it on the window shield.

Also, I like to remove my GPS from sight when I am parking in public. This involves taking it off the mount all the time. It is difficult to have water available every time I want to mount it after parking in public. So I tried the friction mount.

It works much better. It is easy to adjust the orientation, remains on the dash with no problems (my dash is almost horizontally flat, making this possible). It does not slide off. When I remove it from sight, it does not leave a tell tale suction mount circle on the window shield. I am very pleased with the friction moutn as an improvement over the suction mount.
