The characters had very definite
personalities. From a single sentence I could tell who was talking, from Ditto's
sarcastic comments, to Mona's fiesty matter-of-fact, to Stefan's driven way. I
loved them all! It was interesting to see how they dealt with the pressure of
their circumstances. There world was literally falling apart, and they were a
hodge-podge group, thrown together simply to battle the demons of their world.
I particularly enjoyed watching Cosmo's as he was forced to grow up well before
his time.
The plot kept me up till one reading. It was something I'd never seen
reflections of in other books, completely new. The couple huge plot surprises
were utter shocks. Life kept getting worse for our beloved crew. I cried. I
laughed. I had my heart ripped to shreds. I loved every word of it.
Eoin Colfer has a style that will sell the story to you, hook, line, and
sinker. With only a few sentences he made Satellite city seem strange and
depressing. He can name a futuristic object with one word and immediately the
reader knows what it is. THE SUPERNATURALIST views the world in such a way that you can't
help but fall in love with the main character, Cosmo, as he goes on a journey
of heroics and self-discovery.
