Owan, I read that book to my younger siblings and remember it being pretty good.
Until one reaches one of the last chapters, that chapter was all bogged down with math problems. Terribly confusing.
Artemis Fowl by Eoin Coffer 279 pages
Sorry, guys, but I really didn’t have fun reading this. Not to mention the ending was dragged out and it wasn’t even a proper ending. The language wasn’t fun to wade through either. However, I did quite like the characters of Butler and Juliet (I forgave Butler for braking the pickpockets fingers and various other brutal acts by the end of the book, he was so sweet toward Juliet. Lovely.
) Every other character could have died and I would have cared less. Infact, I probably would have rejoiced. (Terribly bad of me, I know.) Though, of course, if I leave the plot and characters out of the picture I can speak about the writing itself, which wasn’t bad. Different, yes, (it read like a history book) but it didn’t bug me.Running Total: 4,217

Well, I added it up on a calculator and it appears to be right.
*wipes brow* I was certain I’d get on here and someone would have corrected me. Thanks, Sarah!
The People of Sparks by Jeanne DuPrau 338 pages
The sequel to The City of Ember and very good as well. I (unlike some people on NWeb) liked this one very nearly the same as Ember. My favorite part was probably the part about the little nursery rhymes about Ember. Particularly this one:
Remember the city, the city remember
Where treasure is hidden under the ground
The city, the city, always remember
That’s where the treasure will be found.”

Glad you get what I’m driving at, Pip! *continues to find the subject interesting and silently ponders it*
A Visit to William Blake’s Inn: Poems for Innocent and Experienced Travelers by Nancy Willard 40 pages
I personally like the poetry in this. My favorite pieces are The Wise Cow Enjoys a Cloud, Blake’s Wonderful Car Delivers Us Wonderfully Well, The King of Cats Sends a Postcard to His Wife, and Blake Leads a Walk on the Milky Way. I remember loving these when I was little.
DragonSpell by Donita K. Paul 334 pages
You all are going to really dislike me at this point. I didn’t like this. I’ve read it atleast twice before, liked it then, but couldn’t seem to at this point. I still like the characters (Dar, Fenworth, and Brunstetter being my favorite) and her character names (D’Shay being my favorite) but the writing was bad and I had a lot of trouble picturing the characters and the writing was bad. *sigh* Yeah, had trouble with that. I’m a little weary of reading the other’s now. But, I am curious about DragonLight so I shall continue.

Owan, that bag sounds fabulously cool.
Particularly the “Stephen Black” and “Istra” and “Father, can I box him?” parts.Thanks, Alyosha! I got my first complement on the bag yesterday, I was in the library and some random girl asked if the “Because I could not wait for death…” part was Emily Dickinson, said she loved that poem.
