| Posted By: Soccer4Life Posted On: Dec 3, 2006 Views: 310 | Lets spread the word!!! Oh! I just got a cool idea! Everyone who reads this should tell someone else they know to read an Artemis Fowl book!!! I already got my BFF to put the books on her Christmas list! She said she read the first book but never read any other ones. I am also trying to get my other BFF to read them. However, she is a lot harder to persude. Any helpful hints to persuade her? Thnx!!!! ;) |

If your BFF is the kind of person who wouldn't usually read Artemis Fowl and the books besides then you need to introduce her to it while not giving ANYTHING away. I was into medieval fantasy when a friend of mine who works at a library and grades books told me that I should read Artemis Fowl and explained to me JUST enough about the book to get me interested; now I'm hooked. Here is a list of some things to do 1. Don't bring the topic up every time you see him/her (I badgered my sister to read a book a year ago and she still hasn't). 2. Bring the subject up naturally and DON'T EVER say, "You need to read Artemis Fowl!" because then he/she will feel pressured and won't want to make a decision. 3. Nagging doesn't help, it hurts. 4. Make sure she/he is in a good mood and NOT stressed or she/he might just say "NO!" without listening to what your saying. 5. If your friend is trying hard at a school assignment or is in a theatre group and overwhelmed by the work he/she is getting from there wait until the chaos dies down a bit before bringing up the book. 6. Don't give anything away that was said beyond the third chapter in the book because then she'll/He'll feel that she knows the plot already and won't be interested in reading it. 7. Don't blurt out the facts from the novel until she/he is finished or it ruins the whole story for them (I accidentally did that before). 8. When you get the book into his/her hands don't ask them every time you meet, "Did you read it yet?" because though you might be a quick reader it might not be the same case with your friend. My advice is to wait a minimum of two weeks before bringing up the subject. Thats all I can think of right now so I hope that these tips help you make a firm fan out of your BFF. Good Luck!!! |
