Re: how did you react when... [spoilers]
What i don't get is why everyone acts like it was Artemises fault. He couldn't do anything, there was a gaping hole in Holly. Anyway, has anyone ever heard of pride before personal? If the bomb exploded, they were all going to die, not just Holly, and she would have died anyway. sometimes, sacrifices have to be made. It's always sad, and you're all going to lynch me and say I'm a heartless monster, but deep down, you know I'm right.

Re: how did you react when... [spoilers]
I don't think anyone is saying that it's Artemis's fault- how could it be, when he saved her? I think people were just surprised when he didn't look at her.
I took that as a good sign, though, when I was reading. If she were truly going to die, he would have looked up, I think. He's either smart enough that he could glance away and give some comfort to his friend while still keeping the count, or he's attached enough to Holly that he'd go to pieces and run to her side.

No one blames Artemis and you have every right to say what you think!
Like MMK said,people were just surprised.
I expected that Artemis would take care of the bomb first but I knew he would think of something,.He always does.And one death is enough!

Re: how did you react when... [spoilers]
I think I always knew that Holly had to come back to life.
I mean, if she didn't, there'd be no way that Artemis would return to his home.
And I didn't think that Eoin would end the series like that.
Possible, but not probable.

It's pretty impossible in my opinion to kill Holly and keep the book good. So he must keep her alive.

Yeah, that too.
I mean, TOD+ yeah, we've had a few other characters die. But none of them main characters.

Well, he wasn't as main as Holly, or Artemis. As shown, TOD with Root dead, the books can still be quite good. And books can be written. Without Holly, or Artemis, it would be a lot harder... If not impossible.

i agree. roots death was tragic but the books continued without him. If Holly or Artimis died, the series would most likely end right there.

Re: how did you react when... [spoilers]
This isn't anything to do with the arguement but is quasi-related to it so I don't know, call it semi-spam. we've already seen a Colfer book where the main character dies in the first chapter... Uh-oh, me thinks I smells a cheap crossover (Like the AVP movies... man, that ruined two brilliant horror franchises (well, Predator was brilliant. Alien was only good).

Re: how did you react when... [spoilers]
I just continued reading, of course, I was extremely surprised, and disappointed with Eoin since he decided to kill one of the best characters. I mean, one thing about the story people like is thinking about the chemistry between Holly and Artemis, if Holly died, that would be bad. But, If Artemis ever died, I'd finish the book, and if he didn't come back to life miraculously, I would probably ditch the series.

I felt like my heart stoped right after I read it, so I went back a read it again. I have to say this but that was one of my favorite parts in the whole series.

Re: how did you react when... [spoilers]
When i read that part i was in the middle of Geometry class. I got so lost in the book i didn't notice i was crying until the teacher said my name and asked if everything was all right. All i said to him was, "Holly died." and he sent me to the counseler's office. I thought she'd be just as confused but she actually knew what i was talking about and we spent the rest of the school day talking about AF in her office.

Re: how did you react when... [spoilers]
I actually screamed "NO!"
And then closed the book, until I got the courage to read it again.
It WAS sad.
but no tears.
