                                             More Books That I Haven't Finished...yet (Mateo Hernandez)             I love to read. But unfortunately, I have continued to leave some books unread due to several reasons. If you recall, I posted an earlier blog in which I listed some books that I hadn’t finished and why. With the stress of school and not much free time, I haven’t been reading as much as I would like to. But I’ve made some progress. I’m happy to report that I finished Huck Finn a few months ago and have made a little bit of progress on the Bible. Anyways, here are a few more books that I haven’t finished and why: 1.      1.

The Time Machine: A review

It’s a fantastic blend of myths, magic, and fairies with unreasonably advanced technology. The novel, written by Eoin Colfer, is set in a world where mythical creatures such as fairies and gnomes still walk the earth—just not on the surface. However, these fairies are nothing like . Long after a series of wars with humans, the fairies were forced underground where they began to develop technology far beyond anything humans could hope to achieve. The book follows Artemis Fowl, a young (human) genius who believes he can meddle with this ancient race. He gains access to their book of laws and learns the rules which dictate their way of life. He then develops a sinister plot to kidnap one of the fairies for ransom, as the book of laws states that any gold a human takes is theirs to keep. However, he kidnapped the wrong fairy. Artemis Fowl is a fantastic ble...
