Blah, blah-spoilers-blah, blah. You get the point.
This is probably one of my favorite books in the series yet because Artemis is starting to be more of a good guy. I was extremely disappointed with Minerva's character. I expected her to be more like Artemis was, but she was more emotional. She also acted a lot younger then she was. More like an eight year old then a twelve year old. But that might just be because she had less of a childhood so her mind is trying to release some of that unused child-like emotion. But Eoin Colfer makes it sound like twelve is a really young age when it really isn't. I should know, I'm twelve. Its going to be really confusing for Artemis because he missed a full three years of his life and he didn't age at all the whole time so he's always going to look three years younger then he should. It would be really weird having to say your seventeen when your only fourteen. I think it's really funny when they figure out that Minerva is a child genius and Holly says, "Great, now there's two of you." Also when they figure out that Artemis has powers and she says, "Great, Artemis Fowl with powers, just what we need." Then again when they learn that three years has passed and Artemis is now almost eighteen and she says, "God help us all. Artemis Fowl, eligible to vote." Then he tells her that he's been voting for years. This is by far the funniest book in the series. At least so far. I don't get the point of Holly and Artemis switching eyes. There's always a reason for everything that happens in a book. Maybe its to show that Artemis now has a permanent and un-evil connection to the fairies. One of my few complaints in this book is that Mulch didn't have a big part in it. He is my third favorite character. (Holly is my favorite, Artemis is a close second, then Mulch, then Foaly, and then, of course, no one can forget Butler.)

Your comments are almost a good as the books themselves. You always have a valid reason for what you think and make me think about things that I might have just passed over when reading or re-reading the book. Keep these posts coming!!! I love what you are doing it is very entertaining!!!
