Hey. I recently bought a book by Eoin Colfer (the guy who wrote the Artemis Fowl books) called The Supernaturalists. It's actually quite good. here's the story.
Quote:
It's set in the 3rd millenium, in a city called Sattelite City (named because everything is controlled by a gigantic sattelite run by the Myashi Corp, called Myashi
. The city is worse for wear. And lately, the sattelite has been mucking up. Anyways, the main character, an orphan called Cosmo Hill (so called because he was found on Cosmonaught Hill) lives in the Clarissa Frayne Institute for Parentally Challanged Boys. There, they are subjected to medical testing to earn the institute more money. Anyway, one day, the sattelite mucks up and the bus the clarrisa frayne boys (including Cosmo) are on is derailed. Cosmo escapes with his friend Francis, and they are pursued by Marshall Redwood. When they are on a roof, Cosmo and Ziplock (who are joined together at handcuffs) fall off a roof and onto another building, where they get an electric shock. Then Cosmo see's something coming towards him and Ziplock. 2 blue creatures that no-one else can see. The go ontop of Cosmo and Ziplock and start sucking the life out of they. But it then explodes on Cosmo's chest. It was shot by The Supernaturalists. They save Cosmo's life and they take Cosmo home after they realise that he can see the creatures, or Parasites as they're know. He joins them. He becomes a Supernaturalist.
And thats just the first chapter! I would advise you all to go and read it. Now. Stop reading this post and go and buy this book! Please!
Anyway, has anyone else actually read it? *hopes in desperation that he's not the only person who has read it.*
