Jan 5, 2011 Final Blog: I've been reading the book Gang War by Peter Walsh. In a gripping tale of the death of a14 year old girl at a convince store in Manchester, gangs light the streets. The brother of the 14 year old, a gang member himself goes on the hunt for the killer. This book is pretty intense as it winds you through the gun fights and street gangs of Manchester. I feel like I can see the book happening in my head.

Hello, my name is Ryan Kirkman. I've moved on to the book //Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox// by Eoin Colfer. In the recent chapters, I've learned more about the LEP society and Artemis's operations to help the fairy's out in the attempt to stop Opal Koboi. The evil mastermind owns the planets largest weapons manufacturing plant in the Underground World. She manufactures all of the guns for the police and LEP forces, and also has all control over them. When reading this story, it feels as though Artemis is a child with an adults senses and mental abilities. It makes me think of what life would be like in his shoes, and having the responsibilities he has. I can also relate to this story in the way that we are both missing our biological dads. I can tell that Colfer hints more and more at a sequel.
