Gerardo González gerry1000 — What I liked about this book was that a twelve-year old boy was able to outsmart fairies. To make their humiliation worse, the fairies' technology was aeons ahead of humans and they still were not able to stop the little boy genius. Stephen Stivers Mr. Rich English II 12 October 2011 Colfer, Eoin. Artemis Fowl. New York: Hyperion Books, 2001. Being deceived is unacceptable, not to mention if your friend is the one deceiving you. In Eoin Colfer’s Artemis Fowl, Butler, Artemis Fowl’s bodyguard, and his little sister Juliet are beguiled into drinking a drug to make them fall asleep. They are not aware that Artemis has a plan for what he is doing but has to trick them in order for it to work. The fourteen year-old teenager Artemis has been fooling with the Lower Elements Police (LEP) and now he is on the verge of killing Butler, Juliet, his mother, and himself. Although Artemis is in the face of danger, he has a plan that will allow them to escape. Also, in order for it to work them, he will have to lie to his bodyguard. I understand what Artemis has to do, however I believe that Butler should know everything. He protects Artemis on a daily basis and needs to be informed about anything that Artemis is involved in which includes his death-defying scheme. Artemis knows that the drug will work because he used it on his mother and it prevailed. All he has to do is figure out how he can administer it. Then, Artemis comes up with the idea of having everyone drink a glass of champagne. To me personally, I find it a little strange for fourteen year-old teen to be drinking champagne. On the other hand, he is rich which probably means that he has drunk wine or some other alcoholic beverage before. Artemis gathers everyone and recommends champagne to celebrate. Butler senses that everything is not alright and asked, “You want us to drink this, don’t you, Artemis?” (Colfer 261) Artemis says that he does then Butler drains his glass. He tastes the tranquilizer immediately but does not attack Artemis because he does not want Juliet to be distressed. If I were in Butler’s shoes, the story would have been totally different. I would have snapped Artemis’s neck in two point five seconds then let the drug take effect. If not that scenario, then I would have given Artemis a quick piece of my mind which included my retirement. Eventually, I would feel sorry for what I did because in the end, everyone survived. After LEP find out that everyone survived and leave Fowl Manor, Artmeis is awaken by Butler asking him to explain what happened. He starts by saying that it was only sleeping pills and that they were harmless. Butler is not pleased, I would not be as well, and hollers, “Artemis, my sister is lying drugged on that couch. She was almost killed. So explain yourself now!” (Colfer 271) I do not blame Butler for his reactions to all that just happened to him. I would have been acting like him if not worse. I agree with him 100% especially because his family was put in danger. If I were Butler, I would not be as much upset if it were only the two of us. However, Juliet was involved which changed everything. No one likes to see their family in danger, not to mention their sibling. Fortunately, I received a message from Artemis Fowl. It made me realized that I need to be aware of my surroundings and what is or going to happen. I do not want to be Butler and rely on someone else when it comes between life and death. I would rather be aware of the outcomes of a situation that wait to see what lies around the corner. As many of my family members say, “Knowledge is power,” I react by trying to acquire knowledge. In today’s world, knowledge is the key to everything so why waste your opportunity? Strive to obtain knowledge because in the end you will know what will happen next.

Roman Ciupka romanjr — For an overview, wikipedia does a good job describing the themes, but don't read too much of the "Plot" section if you want to read the book. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Choc.... I did not appreciate the male self gratification parts, but they were not explicit. This is not a book for young readers, but is an excellent examination of school life, and even our society in general. How does a group become so "powerful" that they dominate the majority? Jerry never really ever intended to "disturb the universe," nor did he really understand what that meant until he received the backlash from the Vigils. The ending was perfect for this type of novel. No answers, No resolution.

John Glenn johncglenn49e0 — Widely renowned for the excellent quality of its drinking water, New York City was once reviled for the same. Only decades of pollution and disease finally motivated the powers-that-were to stop the politicking and do some good for the people of New York. Entertainingly written and well-researched, Koeppel describes the history of drinking water in New York City from the 1600s when water came from ponds and wells through the construction of the Croton Aqueduct in the 1840s which brought water to Manhattan from upstate New York. Personally, I found the subject matter fascinating and was impressed at the number of first-hand accounts the author was able to unearth. Plus, Koeppel made the potentially dry subject matter (OK, I guess water is by definition not dry subject matter) a pleasant--almost poetic--read. I deeply wish that the book had covered the period from 1850 to the present in greater detail. It took 280 pages to get us to 1850, and then the subsequent 150 years were covered in 10 pages. If nothing had changed, this wouldn't be a big deal to me, but today NYC gets most of its water from sources other than the Croton Aqueduct, so I was left thirsting for more.

Luiza Galska luizagalska — A very interesting novel about what can happen not only to a language, but also society, when ignorant pin-heads decide to change things based on nothing more than superstition.
