In my book artemis fowl (the first book) I have found some ineresting facts(their fictional, but facts about the book) that I did not know while I was reading all the other books because this is the first book, I have read every single other book except the first one, which put me a while behind the facts in the other books. I have found alot of emotions as I got by the pages but they are pretty hidden:"oh no" thought artemis "mother is dying" trying to hide his emotions as much as possible... Tying to hide emotion from me "eh", well good luck with that artemis.(I said the last part) Eoin colfer is a very good author, I had to use a dictionary a couple of times for some words. The books remind me a bit of shakespeare because artemis uses alot of words out of the average ammount of different words used by one person per day (500). I'd say that he used at least 1500 different words in total. Sakespeare on the other hand INVENTED 1500 words and used who knows how many different words in his plays/poems/stories and more.  I think that using more words is good because it unlocks a whole new parts in your brain that you may have never known about, you can make your freinds ask what the worsd mean and make them say "HUUUUUH"... "this guy is getting on my nerves and then dancing on them". To do that ill have to read the whole dictionary on french, encyclopedia botanica and a bunch more dictionaries.

Perspective post

In my book Artemis Fowl, The Opal Deception I could identify the perspective which is 3rd person omniscient, with preppy much every sentence, here’s an example: “Foaly was thinking about buying a new set of wings for the new commanding officer while commander Vinyaya thought ugh, that disgusting centaur.”  I don’t think that was very nice from the commander, but I suppose that it is normal to stare in disgust at someone or “something” can’t even go to the bathroom with it being lower than feet level. Sometimes the book is in the 3rd person limited… in some chapters. “Opal flicked her hair to reveal a menacing gaze pin pointing straight towards Merval” This is only a fragment of the sentence, but the rest is run on thoughts. (Very long sentence) The narrator often leads me in the wrong direction, here’s an example: “Opal koboi is the actual criminal in this story…” the description of opal’s crime goes on for 1 chapter but in the next chapter, Artemis makes a crime by selling fairy technology to other humans, which is the most cruel thing that Artemis could have done against the fairy rulebook. The narration lead us into believing that opal koboi is the big criminal in this story, but then “boom” Artemis changes the way the story goes by making the biggest crime ever(In the fairy world). I anticipate that eventually the opal crime will go back into action until the end. This sort of reminds me of the series warriors; in this story the narrator changes character in every chapter. This changes the story’s point of view many times to give us a better understanding, sometimes 2-3 chapters are parallel events, giving us an even better understanding of what’s going on.
