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.

Opteka 85mm f 1

Good case, people made it seem that its larger than it really is. The only bad thing about the case is that only fits apple chargers If you have another charger for your iphone it might not fit if its bigger than the iphone charger.

I really had some doubts that I would be happy with a fairly inexpensive vacuum as I have always bought traditionally nicer vacumms ($300 on up). However, I went ahead and took a chance and I am very happy with this vacuum. It cleans real well and is just simple to use. It is a bit noiser then my old vacuum, but I don’t care about that. I would recommend this vacuum.
CLASSIC High Definition 1

This is the easiest pedometer I have ever used. The readout is large enough to see without my glasses and I love the way it zeros itself out overnight. It’s easy to clip on or carry in your pocket. It’s very accurate and fun to use!

Beautiful light – horrible mounting system.

The light is bright like everyone is saying.

My problem is one day I looked down and Planet Bike Blinky Super Flash 1/2-Watt Blaze LED Plus 2 eXtreme LED Rear Bicycle Light was gone – jumped the mount.

I was riding over a lot of rocks and I guess it popped out. That had me

really steamed. I also had a air pump that shook apart too.

All the mounting systems are very similar, but I cannot afford

to spend whatever it is for a light, nice as it is and have to take

it off all the time or buy a new one when it falls off.

Someone should come up with a flexible mounting standard,

all of the ones I have seen are terrible.
