11. Are the characters believable and interesting? Most of the characters are believable because they act like normal people would. The fairies and demons are believable because they are described well and they seem like they would be living on Earth. All of the characters are interesting because many events happen to them and it is interesting to read about what occurs in the situation.

12. One excellent direct quotation from the book: (include who said it, page number, and use
quotation marks!) “We’re not all savages, and my wrists did hurt for ages. But I forgive you, I suppose. As long as your tying-up days are over.”

13. Good reasons to read the book: Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony is a great book to read because it is action-packed. Many events in this book are explained in great detail and it feel like they are happening to you. This book keeps you on the edge of your seat and is almost impossible to put down. I wanted to keep reading and I think this book will keep you up late into the night, reading under the covers with a flashlight.

14. Any reasons not to read the book? NO

15. Did you like this book or not? And why…. I liked this book because the events that happened to the characters were interesting to read about. The plot was also interesting and the story was written very well. I also liked this book because the description made me feel like I actually witnessing the events in the book.
