Soul Reside, just be patient! :)

Members of this forum come from all over the world so are on different time zones and let alone have jobs and lives. Posting over and over asking for some reply will probably only just irritate people :)

And for the record. I haven't read it either. I haven't even heard of it?

What do you want to say about is? Is it a good book or one that we should avoid? :)
 
Sorry, I should be more paitent. Anyway yes I love the book and I'm only on chapter two. If you like sci-fi/fantasy books I highly recomend this book even though I haven't read it all yet. :p

Amazon.co.uk Review
Taking a break from his wildly successful Artemis Fowl series, Eoin Colfer delivers another punchy, superbly readable novel with all of the trademark qualities that have earned him so many fans. The Supernaturalist is inventive, dramatic, delicately witty and positively hip.
Satellite City, a vast twenty-five million people plus satellite-controlled metropolis in the third millennium, is home to Cosmo Hill. This 14-year-old orphan, a "no sponsor", inhabits--or rather "survives" in--an orphanage called the Clarissa Frayne Institute for Parentally Challenged Boys. There are only three ways out of such a miserable establishment: adoption, death or escape. The average life expectancy is 15 years. Cosmo has a year left. At best.

When his chance comes to escape during a transportation crash, Cosmo grabs it and flees into the unknown city. But he is tracked by a zealous guard and falls from a tall building. Accidentally, of course. As Cosmo's life force ebbs away, apparently sucked out by a strange blue parasite, he is rescued by a motley crew of kids. They're on a mission, and Cosmo is drafted in to help them. It's a whole new dangerous beginning…

Colfer has carved out a funky little genre all on his own: he writes exciting adventures that are funny and futuristic, page-turning and realistic. They're not fantasy, but his books are fantastical. They've got a bit of magic about them, without being overtly magical in the Harry Potter sense.

Artemis Fowl has been described as "Die Hard with fairies". The Supernaturalist is heralded as The Matrix meets Ghostbusters. Colfer has a golden touch at the moment and this is another priceless nugget. Suitable for ages 10 and over. --John McLay
 
I liked The Wishlist, I'll have to read it again when I get the chance, as I can't really remember much about it. It was entertaining and also quite touching by the end. :)
