This book is amazing. It’s about kids who have avian DNA, so they are 98 percent human and 2 percent bird. They have to run for their lives because Erasers are chasing them. Erasers have lupine DNA (wolf). They are bloodthirsty and can kill them. They are all part of an experiment, and Angel, the 6-year-old, gets taken away with the Erasers. Max, Fang, and Nudge try to save her. I LOVE this book, it’s the best. [Chilicheese]

Percy joins his friends on a quest to save Annabeth and the goddess Artemis. They fight skeletons, gods, and a boar? What else could go wrong?
So far, this is the most unique book in the Percy Jackson series. There’s still no real new aspect of fantasy from this book. It’s still enjoyable though. [DarkFaerie]

A lot of people influenced me to read this book, so I did. Let me say that I really didn’t like it. It was fun to read, ’cause reading is fun, but I felt that it was a complete copy of Harry Potter. There will never be a book as great. As I read this book, I found the same elements I’ve found in all fantasies. Sure, there are some similarities, but there wasn’t anything new or interesting about this book. It’s fun to read, but it will never make it to the top. Sorry, Percy Jackson fans! [DarkFaerie]

New Moon
October 28, 2009 — falconmedia
This is a spectacular book. Edward leaves Bella, meaning he breaks up with her – you will find out why later in the book. You should really focus on the relationship Bella and Jacob Black get into. If you have already read this book, I strongly encourage you to read it again, and so does Stephenie Meyer (the author). Lots of things happen and questions arise. Do Jacob and Bella fall in love? Will Edward ever come back? Do Victoria and Laurent come back to get Bella? Does Bella get into another “sticky” situation? [Giggly Girl24]

March 26, 2009 — falconmedia
Artemis Fowl isn’t your average kid. He’s a genius, a millionaire, and a criminal mastermind. And he believes in fairies. But it turns out he’s not crazy — in fact, he’s correct! But in order to obtain fairy gold, he has to capture a leprechaun. Meanwhile, down in the mantle of the Earth, Holly Short, part of the fairy police force, is running low on magic. To get some more she must go to the surface and plant an acorn far from its original tree. And what oak tree does she go to? The one Artemis Fowl is guarding, of course! When Artemis manages to capture Holly, just how far will he go to get what he wants?
I’ve seen my friends reading this series for a long time, and never once tried it, except I tried reading the second book of the Artemis Fowl series. It didn’t work, they have to be read in order. But now that I’ve read it, I definitely recommend this book — a great read!
