The action scenes in Book 5 rocked. Minerva did not.

Okay, so, it's an improvement over Books 3 and 4? Atleast.

And, Ianna? Your plothole is imaginary.

I stopped liking them around book 3 they changed to cover for 4. woe.

We've already pointed out your plot hole is imaginary last time you brought this up...



The action's been good all the way through, but the characters and plots have gone downhill. I mean, Artemis is the evil one. We don't want to see him turn into some sort of selfless saint.

Anti heroes have more depth.

Book 3>5>4.

I wish he'd just go back to being a criminal mastermind. I can tolerate him being slightly less evil than book 1. In the first book I was rooting for the fairies, he did seem a little vile at times. Just a little.

So... does book V suck or not?

Yes.

book 5 was a dissapointment.

I'm completely obsessed with the books and it doesn't stop me hating #5.

what plothole is there in #1? i mean, there are a few mistakes, but i didn't see a gaping plothole.

Like I said the key to escaping the time stop was changing states of conciousness. Holly and Butler (along with some others I believe) went for being awake to being knocked out. Ms. Fowl went from being awake to taking sleeping pills and disappearing. Or moving on with time.

Plot hole.

Holly had woken up by the time the time stop was started, and Butler was dazed but not completely unconscious, as demonstrated by the rapidity with which he was able to chase after Mulch.

yay, I got the ?lost colony? for christmas, I can't wait to start reading it.

The next Artemis Fowl is the last I believe

No, Holly got knocked unconious during the troll attack.

And:

"... "Now let's get rid of our hairy friend." Butler rolled the unconscious troll on to an armored trolley, ..."

The troll didn't disappear.

"... "You're good," said Mulch, wagging a finger at the unconscious bodyguard. "But nobody takes a body blow from Mulch Diggums and stays on their feet. ..."

Mulch knocked Butler out during the timestop.

"... The safe room was in a shambles, blown apart by some sort of fairy flatulence. Butler lay unconscious, possibly paralyzed by the same gaseous anomaly. ..."

Butler lay unconscious.....

"... There are several precedents, I believe." "Oh, absolutely. Unfortunately Cudgeon will be unconscious for several hours. ..."

Cudgeon too, I had forgot him.

People leave the time stop when they sleep, not when they're paralysed, knocked unconscious or partially unconscious, or otherwise immobilised. The key is sleep.

Sent is right, and those dove ads are really bugging me...

Dove ads?

Can someone pull out Artemis's explanation for me?

I lost my book.
