The Supernaturalist product reviews

Cosmo Hill, through a bit of luck, manages to escape from the Clarissa Frayne institute and joins a renegade band, The Supernaturalists, who now become his family: their job? To hunt these little blue creatures who suck the energy out of people and hasten their Death.
Eoin Colfer has created a strong character in Cosmo accompanied by a strong but eccentric group of characters and villains and, in the process, has written a highly readable book.
His imagination knows no boundaries and his humour permeates every aspect of the book, some subtle, some satirical, some very much tongue-in-cheek and some, way over the heads of the children it was written for; and for this reason, it is not just another children's book. As is common to all of Colfer's books, they run along at a cracking pace making it very hard to put the book down once started. Colfer seems to be very much at the start of his career, and I look forward to reading a long and full career full of well-written, readable books generated from the magical pen of Colfer
