Actually, I found character connections to The Supernaturalist. Don't you think Red Sharkey seems like a young Marshal Redwood?

I thought The Supernaturalist seemed a lot like Artemis Fowl. Didn't the head scientist lady seem a lot like opal? And wasn't there mention of phonetix? (I just hope phonetix isn't real...) And there was this company called Myishi, or something...wasn't that the demon's name in the Wish List? I still loved Supernaturalist, though...cried at the end...

I liked Wish List. It brought together two different species, and showed how, when in desperation, they work well together. I am, of course, referring to young and old :D
(actually, I think I cried at the end of this one too... :wacko: )

The Arctic Incident disappointed me a little tbh.

Sorry, I just had to say--Arctic Incident is my favourite out of the Artemis Fowl books :lol:

I was actually a little disapointed in the end for the wish list. I think I had been rooting for her to fail.... XD

I cried at the end of both of them too. Nothing makes a great book like one you can have a good cry over ^_^ The endings were both so beautiful!

Supernaturilist was sad, but good too. I think it was funny at the end when Cosmo kissed Mona. Mona is my second favourite Eion Colfer character.

Oh, I get the question now. Well, of cours its minerva. I even look like her. If my hair was curled *goes into long discussion of agents and plastic surgury*
No, but seriously, I do. I'm even her age.

Ooh, the Wish List was brilliant. I loved it! It stole a little quote from Artemis Fowl though. Apparently Eoin Colfer had been very proud of himself for that quote. It goes something like:

"
'Well, I'll tell you, but you're not going to like it.'

'I order you to tell me now!'

She told him. He didn't like it. "

I have curly blonde hair. Not tight curls but curls. Oh and I look like an absolute genius. I hate the way I look though. I rather mah hair straight. can anyone remember what Minerva's eye colour was?

AHHH!!!!<br><br>"Holly let me look at you". Holly did not look up from her wrist computer. "No time right now, Artemis." Artemis padded across to her, walking gingerly on thin crust. "Holly, let me look at you," he said, holding her soulders. Something in Artemis's voice made Holly stop what she was doing and pay attention. this was not a tone Artemis used often.

It may have been green, not sure, but quite frankly, I don't care because hate Minerva (Artemis_Fowl_Lover93, you an Artemis would make a wayy better couple than Minerva and Artemis, assuming you dont turn into an arrogant genius :)). [s]I swear I will scream my face off if Eoin Colfer makes Minerva have blue eyes. She's already full-on stereotype, save for the whole criminal mastermind Artemis parody, and blue eyes will just ruin the whole thing more.[/s]

Anyways, aren't we supposed to be talking about the Wish List? :P

I liked the Wishlist. That was the problem. I didn't LOVE it like I do Artemis Fowl.
