Artemis Fowl: The Last Guardian by Eoin Colfer (Awesome)

Sorry I'm late.  I have trouble keeping track of days during the summer.  This is the last book in the Artemis Fowl series, the eighth, I believe.  It is an amazing series, so I suggest reading it.  Guys can read it, believe me.  Even if you don't think it is, based on the description, you are wrong.  I needed to go ahead and point that out.  So, go ahead and read the rest of the series.  I'll still be here when I get back.

Here's the cover:



The cover shows part of the ending, so *GIANT SPOILER ALERT*  Artemis is standing near the gateway.  The wall is there between him and Holly/ Butler.  The cover basically shows Artemis Fowl saying his last words. *SPOILER ALERT OFF*  It's an amazing cover that really wraps it up nicely.

Anyway, I'm going to assume that you read the previous books and all, so I can do the review.
 
 
Artemis has gone to his last therapy session to fix his Atlantis Complex. When he is leaving Haven, he finds that a ransom note has been received by the LEP. The younger Opal has been kidnapped and will be shot unless they release the older Opal. (skipping a part because of spoilers) Artemis, Holly, and Butler race to stop Opal from destroying the whole human race and ruling all the fairies.
 
 
I thought this was the perfect book to end the series. It was just so right in so many ways...
 
 
As always, the humor was perfect. (It had a couple really awesome quotes that I will add to the quotes page later, so check there within a week.)
 
 
And the ending... It's the first time that I've gotten within a football field of crying while reading in a long time. But, so epically perfect.
 
 
*Note for people who have already read it*
 
 
You might not of noticed this, but the thing that Holly said at the end. The thing about how it all began. That was the exact first sentence of the series. Personally, I think that makes an amazing ending, to have the first and last sentence to be the same. *Spoiler for Pendragon* The same thing happened at the end of the Pendragon series. *spoiler off*

*End of Note*
 
 
Once again, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.
 
 
Oh, and I was just thinking about how in the beginning of the series, I didn't like any of the main characters. And now I think they're all the best. You start to care for the guys you don't like eventually.
 
 
Again, I'm sorry I'm late. I'll probably post again next week. See you then. In the meantime, comment, click on an add, read my posts, or whatever else you want to do.

  1. Thanks for posting this. I read the first AF book and hated it. Well, more Artemis himself then anything. But maybe now I'll re-read them and see what happens...
