Artemis Fowl is a TRUE HERO.

Few days ago, on 11th August 2012, I went to the book store to look for a good book to read during the holiday. I don't usually read novels so I'm not good in choosing what book is good to read. I spent like an hour wandering in the book store. Still, I couldn't find any that suits my taste. So, I gave up and left the book store but then, I don't know why but I suddenly felt like I should go and check again. Acting according to my feeling, I entered the book store once again. And just like what I did before, I wandered around... until I saw something 'shining' at one of the books shelf. I approached that something and my eyes widened! 

ARTEMIS FOWL and THE LAST GUARDIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes! The 8th book of the Artemis Fowl series that just got released last month! LAST MONTH!! I never thought it would arrive in Brunei this fast so I didn't expect to see it there! I love Artemis Fowl so much. I've read the first until seventh books and was waiting for the eighth book. So, without thinking any further, I grabbed the book and brought in to the cashier counter. YES! I BOUGHT Artemis Fowl and The Last Guardian!!! It was so expensive! I spent $30.80 for that one book (Lucky for me, I still had some money left from Yuto's birthday celebration on the day before). Well, I don't care as long as I can read the book! I was so happy and couldn't wait to read it.

I started reading the book on the next day and the first chapter of the book already made me go DOKI-DOKI! Artemis Fowl is my most favourite book character ever! He is so cool and really a genius! I still remembered when I read the first book, he was still 11 year old and now he already reached fifteen! I can imagine him growing from a cute lil boy into a handsome young man. His personality changed a lot as well. He became more like a normal teenage boy rather than just a criminal mastermind. He got friends now and learned to care about the people around him more. He also had become a caring and loving big brother towards his two four year old little brothers. From the first until the eighth book, he really changed a lot but still... a super genius (Oh no, I feel like crying...)

I finished Artemis Fowl and The Last Guardian last night. It was really another awesome work by Eion Colfer. He is the best author ever! I cried reading this eighth book of Artemis Fowl series. Artemis's action at the end was so heroic! He... he... just to save the people...he... okay. I will stop there. I don't want to give any spoiler to those who haven't read the book yet. But one thing for sure, Artemis Fowl is a TRUE HERO. I'm so touched by his decision tho I am really against it!

I can't believe Artemis Fowl series is over now. That was the last book, right? I really wish there will be the ninth book in the future. I'm sure gonna miss the series so much after this. I will definitely miss Artemis, Holly, Butler, Foaly, Mulch, the twins Myles and Beckett, Juliet, Opal, and all the characters in the series. I will miss you all!!!!!!

And one last message,

I LOVE YOU, ARTY.
