Dear Ms. Cartwright,
Lately I have been reading Artemis Fowl the first book. I think it’s funny how Artemis always keeps his cool, even in the toughest situations. I also like how Butler’s name is really Butler. One of my favorite characters is Mulch Diggums. I think he is really cool to read about because of his wit and his ability to dislocate his jaw to inhale at least seven pounds of earth at a time. Giving him the ability to tunnel through the earth at about ninety miles an hour!
One of my favorite scenes is Butler Vs. Troll. The Troll won but Captain Holly Short used her magic to heal Butler. And Butler saved his little sister by nailing it in the head with his Sig Saur machine gun it gave it a concussion but didn’t penetrate the skull. While the Troll was flailing around grabbing at its head he grabbed a lance from a nearby suit of armor and went to work with it until it was just a shivering pile of fur on the floor. The troll landed a few blows but Butler spared its life because Holly asked him to.
I really like all of the cool LEPrecon gadgets and gismos such as the Biobomb, the Time Stop, and the Electric baton. One of my favorite weapons is the Mesmerizer it only uses a little bit of magic and packs a punch! Just in case you wanted to know I’m doing my book-share on Artemis Fowl! It’s either going to be a board game where you go through the Fowl Estate or a game of chess Artemis style! I have changed my mind entirely I think I will do a giant Venn diagram comparing Artemis, Butler, and I!
It has been nice talking to you! I can’t wait to start on the second book The Arctic Incident. I never knew who Eoin Colfer was until I read his fantastic book! See you soon!
Sincerely,
Alex

Dear Alex,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the Artemis Fowl Books as well. I often wondered if the author gave the character the last name on purpose. Even though he spelled it F-o-w-l like the bird, I wondered if he was playing with words and meant F-o-u-l. I really liked the idea of a whole kingdom of magical creatures underground. I also liked how Holly took a lot of risks, but in the end, she saves the day. I was worried that she would lose her job. I know that Artemis is the bad guy, but frankly, I kind of liked him. The idea of a kid being a mastermind is cool. Obviously, this was highly unrealistic, but it is fun to think about a kid going up against a LOT of elves. Especially since elves are so clever. I really liked Foaly, too. He is funny! I love the way that he wears tin foil hats to protect his brain! Let me know what you think of the next one. I like how Artie starts to change.
Sincerely,
Ms. C
