While this may be considered a literary classic, I never could get interested in the story or the characters. I finished it, but can’t say I enjoyed the read.

I’m new to photography & wanted it to carry my digital camera on my bike. I chose a handlebar bag so I wouldn’t have to dismount to get to my camera.

There’s enough room to pack my Canon Digital Rebel XT sideways. Packing a lens much longer than the 18-55mm that came with my camera may be a problem. There’s minimal room to spare, and extra stuff will interfere with your ability to get to your camera quickly. The side flaps can hold memory cards & an additional battery.

On a 40 mile ride from Anaheim to San Juan Capistrano, it met all of my expectations. The clamp didn’t slip, and I was able to stop & shoot whenever I wanted. I liked the extra mounting space on the clamp, and I was able to attach my very wide cycle computer (Garmin Forerunner 201) very easily.

1. Keep in mind that the clamp attaches with hex bolts instead of loops & straps, so the clamp will be a fairly permanent part of your bike.

2. To use it as a fanny pack, you’ll need to pull out & attach the included strap. It isn’t very comfortable, as the plastic mounting bracket on the back of the bag sticks out just enough to be pokey. You’ll need to wear it low, gunslinger style.

3. The mounting hardware is plastic, so durability may be a consideration for long-term use.

I remember back a few years ago when I wouldn’t be caught dead reading a book (sure I read Harry Potter, but that’s pretty much obligatory now in days). Artemis Fowl changed that.

Main Character: Meet young master Artemis Fowl Jr.,son of criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl I and heir to the Fowl fortune. Oh, and I did I mention he’s also a twelve year old genius?

Plot: Just from reading the sypnosis you know that this book is bound to be interesting, and while it may seem a bit confusing and hard to pull of, trust me when I say that the author knows what he’s doing.
Young Artemis’s father has gone missing after an accident involving the Russin Mafiya. He’s been missing for about two years now and has even been declared dead. But Artemis still hasn’t lost hope, and won’t stop at anything to rescue him. But just how does he expect to gain enough money to search for his father and restore the family fortune? Simple. Kidnapping a fairy. That’s right, and after getting his hands on the Book of the People (a.k.a the fairies’ bible), Artemis learns of the famous fairy ransom gold. He uses this and some other knowledge provided by the book to kidnap none other than Captain Holly Short (our other main character). Why Captain? Well it just so happens that Short is member and first female recon officer of the LEP, the Lower Elements Police (try to imagine the CIA about a hundred years from now. Yeah, it’s that advanced). Obviously they’re not to happy about this, and will do all it takes to get one of their best officers back. It’s super high-tech LEP vs. famous prodigy Artemis Fowl, who will win? Read and find out.

This book is simply spectacular and incredibly well written. The colorful characters, funny dialogue (except for some minor toilet jokes, but again very few and not that gross), and amazingly well written plot make Artemis Fowl a first class young adult fiction that can even pass as a decent adult thriller. Great action, fast read, and no nec
