Wasn't modular in my day *grumble grumble*. I don't think so anyway. We did do module exams but I don't think they counted towards the GCSE.

Oh yes. It was something else that used a pencil. You always think that multiple choice makes it easier, but the problem comes when you're not certain, because there are inevitably at least two answers that sound plausible.

You have a section with the sub-heading 'The Characters', but you only list Captain Holly Short, and say nothing more about that character other than that she is a female. Has something been deleted here? Are there no other characters? I'm sure there are.

<> Since you give the dates 1992 to 1996, you don't need to put as well. You could simply put: <>

Yes Pingu, you do need to fix some spellings. I would also suggest that you re-read your entry slowly and carefully. You should find quite a lot of things that you could correct.

This is not at all bad for a first entry smiley - ok A little attention to detail and it will be fine. I look forward to reading it again when you've had a chance to fix it.

Right. First of all, it wouldn't hurt to give us a bit of background - when you talk about the characters in Artemis Fowl, you never mention anything about them being fairies, or explain the complex world Eoin created for them.

Second thing, you need a header separating the books from the characters.

Third thing, you need to tell me how to pronounce his name.

But good choice for a first entry!
