Lives of the Planets, by Richard Corfield

Summary: This books describes what we know about the various planets and how we found out.

Comments: This book was a bit dense to read straight through (hence I didn't manage to do that), but it was written in a way that was easy to comprehend. Very informative, but I'd suggest reading it gradually.

The Time Paradox, by Eoin Colfer

Summary: Another of Artemis Fowl's many adventures. In this case, his mother is horribly sick and he's trying to saveher by going back in time to find an extinct lemur.

Comments: Incredibly conveluted. I'm not entirely sure I understand exactly how some of the time stuff worked out. Gripping tale of suspense and survival at the last minute (or maybe after the last minute).
