i was like thats not awkward

XD yeah it was funny

lol yea that was funny

yea i love it when mulch is like "kissing outside your species is wierd"

same here. i still want it to work though

I wanted it to...but yeah, that's impossible.

i never really thought it would

I think most people were thrown off by how abruptly she was added into the story, and then she kind of just left...and how, compared to Artemis, she didn't have the whole smart-AND-trying-to-save-the-world thing going on. When I was reading, I didn't like her, but I think now I do. Mostly because it looks like the whole Artemis/Holly thing isn't going to work out. :(

...why do people hate minerva? I actually liked her....

I know she just bugs me and I don't know why

i do NOT like her. it owuld b good for her to mayb b friends w/ artemis though. nothing more.

I hate Minerva too. But I think there are some possibilities with her. I think Artemis can teach her things. And it would be good for Artemis to have a friend his own age, that is the same intelligence level.

About Opal--I think it would be really cool if Colfer played more on the revenge/torture aspect of her personality. Artemis has really foiled her plans multiple times...I think it would be really, I don't know, scary or emotional or whatever if Opal somehow got payback and almost, like, broke his spirit, his motivation or his arrogance or whatever. It would be really sad though. If you've read The Wizard Heir than I think you'd know what I mean.

I LOATHE HER!!!!!!!

i was sad too

wait i just gotta ask this
who else here hates minerva?? anyone???

i hated when root died.....i was so sad

I would be happy though and doesn't every author care about their fans happieness?

oooh yes
but that would probably mess up a bunch of things
but yes it was bad

I dont want anyone to die Root was bad enough but maybe they could bring him back because of the whole time travel thing

I just had a freaky premonition that someone else is going to die because of Opal. Hopefully that won't happen. But it would be really sad if it did. But Colfer has to come up with something else other than world domination / revealing the fairies. What else would motivate Opal? Hmmmmmmmmmmm

I've never noticed that Mulch is like Ditto, but now that you mentioned it....that's funny he is! Like some sort of comic relief character.

that would be intresting and in a way totally unsurprising.
has anyone noticed that mulch is a lot like Ditto

I wouldn't be surprised that if she took over the human world...

it opal what can't she do

WHat could she do next?

lol

ooooooooooohhh

cue spooky music

The possibilities.... :/

I know

i don't like to spend my time daydreaming about what possibly could have happened to opal. it's too scary

i like daydreaming about the ending of a book, but, like Emma, it drives me crazy

i agree w/ diana

I actually don't like daydreaming about the end of a book, I just like everything wrapped up, strings tied, case closed. Other wise it torments me.

Yeah. I like it when series end with a few unanswered questions, because it leaves more room for imagination. I hate when it completely ends, closes up, and there is no room left for daydreaming.

idk if i really want there to b another book even though opal isnt being restrained. nothing can ever b perfect

yea but it will be a while he has got a lot of other books to write before artemis fowl

there is a 7th book!!! you can't just end with the opal from the past frolicking around in the future

yea

Yeah. It IS possible to have too many books in a series.

I think he is going to take a break so it is the end of it for now but I think he will get back to them

i really hope there's a 7th book, i dont want the series to end...

it is but i like it. i thought it was a good way to end the series

The sixth one is weird

i don't know how many times i've reread them

but it's a lot

the 6th one i've reread three times but other than that i didn't keep track

LOLZ!

lol nice

i've read the 1st AF book twice. the 2nd & 3rd once. the 4th 3-5 times (i forgot). the 5th 3 times. and the 6th one twice.

i almost never reread books, but i have reread the first 5 artemis fowl books

i agree! he's so not shallow
even though he makes tons of jokes the books always have a deeper meaning
much more than any other YA/children's author

i only reread good books and so i reread colfer's books all the time

Cool, thanks. Go Eoin Colfer! Aaaaah he's such a good author...There are a LOT of good authors, but I think I like Colfer because he's not, like, shallow. His books are deep and make you think. They're the kind that, when you reread them, you find something new. I love authors like this because I feel they really contribute to children's/young adult literature. They teach lessons in a fun, appropriate way. Aaaah I just love his books so much!

YAY! he's been my fav author for a while
yeahit's like owen
it says on his website, under the heading :D
