I love fantasy. Have read and re-read Harry Potter countless times. But I am by no means unable to enjoy reading other fantasy books. I loved the Bartimaeus trilogy and then someone told me about this series and I jumped right in. This being the 1st series in the novel, was a great read. I am not giving it 5 stars. The 1st book of most series aren’t necessarily the best. You get to know the basic plot and characters of the series and hopefully the following books will build on this even better. Artemis character is very very interesting. As is Butler and Holly. For those of you with active imagination, you won’t find it hard to visualize the “people”. It is a book about a 12 yr old but certainly not limited to readers of that age. I am excited about this series and I recommend it for people who are looking for a new fantasy series to read. This one is different from Harry Potter because half of it is set in our world with normal people. Artemis is a genius but posseses no magic or superpowers . The writing is lucid and very easy to read. The book is absorbing, couldn’t stop turning the pages. Seems less emotionally intense than Harry Potter, but that’s not a bad thing at all.

Totally different from your everyday read. At first, your wondering where is the author going with this, but yet she keeps you captivated. As you continue reading it gets better and better. It makes you laugh and it makes you cry. It has all the ingredients of being a best-seller. Highly recommended.

I have 5 cats and a dog living in my house. I deep clean my carpets once a month to remove pet odor and was looking for a deep cleaner that really worked. I am extremely happy with the Hoover with Clean Surge. And the upholstry attachment with the beater brushes clean my furniture better than anything I had before.

I’ve only had my scale and food scale for a couple of weeks, but they worked great right out of the box. I’m not thrilled with the numbers I see on them now, but hopefully they will help me to reach my weight loss goals. My two kids (3 and 5) have played with both scales and they have held up! Any product that can take that has my vote!!!

Not having read this book in school, I decided recently it was one of those classics I missed out on which might be worth reading. While I do think the book is somewhat interesting and well-written, I believe it might be better appreciated by young adults. Much of the type of angst seen in Holden is diminished with age, for the most part.

At age 16, Holden Caulfield has been kicked out of Pencey, the latest of several private schools which he’s attended. He lacks direction in life, both in the long term sense and in the short term of what he’s going to do next. He’s not upset about leaving Pencey at all, he didn’t really like any of the other students or faculty there much. In fact, there are very few people whom Holden likes. Asked to name people he genuinely likes, Holden would probably name his younger sister Phoebe and his brother Allie, who died young. He views a lot of the people he encounters as phonies. He hates movies and dislikes shows only slightly less, although he does take his friend Sally to one. Even when he calls friends up, they quickly get on his nerves. In general, Holden is rarely truly happy.

I can see how some young adults might identify with Holden’s character and attitude toward others and life. At that age many people are unhappy because the toys and games of childhood have lost their appeal, yet they cannot partake in all the things in which adults find enjoyment. However, reading this as adult I found myself easily tired and at times frustrated by his character.
