artemis, artemis, artemis...

eoin colfer has done it again! i just finished reading the latest artemis fowl novel that just came out... last week? and just when i thought there were no more adventures to be had! in this one, artemis fowl; the lost colony artemis almost meets his match, yet at the same time in a different perspective, i'd say she really is quite the match for him. I love books... he still outsmarts her though. i'm all for girl geniuses, but you just can't beat artemis fowl. the ending is rather sad though... as sad as a happy ending could be i suppose. artemis and holly get stuck in a time warp whilest saving the fairy world (again) and aren't able to return exactly the same year they departed. so basically, looking at artemis's parents point of view, artemis just vanished off the face of the earth for three years, only to reappear completely unchanged (with the exception that he and holly swapped an eye on the journey home... long story) and unaged. the thought was just heart-wrenching :( on the plus side, now his new girly-friend is about the same age as he. (she waited for him and everything, even though they had only met in person once, and only for a few minutes.) *sigh* i haven't had that good of a read since i discovered howl's moving castle.
