Great suction, powerful brush. A bit noisy. Not for use on bare floors – on “bare floor” setting the vac’s brush keeps going and throws everything around before it has a chance to suck it up. Be sure to have some replacement belts on hand – unless you actually want to vacuum bare floors, in which case a broken belt might help.

I tried leaving no stars for this book, because this book doesn’t deserve one, but it wouldn’t let me, so I was forced to leave one.
This book certainly is a sign of our times. It shocks me that parents would even think that this book would be an accurate account of what God would preach. All I can say is that any Christian knows better than to believe this garbage. By the looks of the ratings of this book, there isn’t too many Christians reading it and unfortunately, many, many young people are reading it believing it as truth. Very sad!

…I’m assuming you know what this book is about, and if you don’t, there are a few thousand other reviews on this site alone to tell you. Here’s a little persuasion to give the book a try;
It’s a good book. Hate me for this if you want, but no, it’s not really life-changing. It’s not the worst book ever written, either. Yeah, it’s this huge phenomenon, but I like it as…a good book. Yep, it’s unrealistic (it’s about VAMPIRES! Of COURSE it’s unrealistic!) but as far as the romance goes, isn’t it better to be unrealistic in a pretty, romantic way instead of the usual, you can do drugs, sex and smoking every freaking night without any side-effects unrealistic. Please, this is a fantasy book, it’s supposed to be escape from real life.
And it’s a good escape. Though VERY long, it’s also VERY readable, with good, engrossing writing, likable if not always extrodinary characters, and a simple, but well executed, plot. Bella can be an annoying narrator, because her narration includes all those unspoken uncertanties and doubts that we all have.
Anyway, I liked this book, I’ll probably re-read it, and the movie’s okay too. Food for thought; how many people who say they hate Twilight own the whole series? How many own the whole series in hardback?
PS Parents will want to know, this is a very conservative book compared to most YA romances. No sex. Very little violence. The book’s suspenceful, not scary.

I bought this book for a book group and we were supposed to read a few chapters a week. I finished it in 2 days. It has been great for group discussions.

No matter how many times I read this book, I am drawn in by the imagination, the creativity, and the enchantment of the tale of Artemis Fowl. The first in a set of five books, I resisted the lure of a 12-yr-old criminal-mastermind for a while, thinking the book too silly for my age. Now I run to the store the moment a new book in this series appears.

Artemis Fowl has a plan to gain back the money his father lost when he disappeared a year ago. Aided by Butler, his body guard, Artemis devises a plan to steal gold from the fairies. Young enough to still believe in magic, but old enough to construct a devious scheme, few could pull off what Artemis is about to do.

Our fairy heroine, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit, is the test case for allowing female elves to join the Lower Elemental Police recon unit, and she has been having a very bad week. After being attacked by a troll, she attempts to carry out the ritual to recharge her magic, but instead is captured by Artemis and Butler, thus beginning the hostage crisis.

Filled with interesting characters and an excellent usage of magic and technology, Artemis Fowl is a book that readers of any age should enjoy. My favorite part is how Colfer integrates magic and technology, instead of ignoring one in favor of the other, like so many urban fantasy writers do. Instead, Foaly, the centaur super-genius, uses technology to shield magic from human scanners and stay one step ahead of the Mud People.

The book is rich with detail that will keep the reader coming back. It’s been a few years since I last read the book, and I was amazed at how many things I didn’t remember and how I was still enthralled by the action. Even my roommate, who tends to feel that she is above reading “children’s” books, eagerly reads every new Artemis Fowl.

With the release of The Lost Colony, right now is the perfect time to pick up a copy of this classic and reread it. Then continue on to The Artic Incident, The Eternity Code, The Opal Decep
