About this listen
At Clarissa Frayne, the boys are put to work by the state, testing highly dangerous products. At the end of most days, they are covered with burns, bruises, and sores. Cosmo realizes that if he doesn't escape, he will die at this so-called orphanage.
When the moment finally comes, Cosmo seizes his chance and breaks out with the help of the Supernaturalists, a motley crew of kids who all have the same special ability as Cosmo: they can see supernatural Parasites, creatures that feed on the life force of humans. The Supernaturalists patrol the city at night, hunting the Parasites in hopes of saving what is left of humanity in Satellite City. Or so they think. The Supernaturalists soon find themselves caught in a web far more complicated than they imagined, when they discover a horrifying secret that will force them to question everything they believe in.
Eoin Colfer has created an eerie and captivating world (part Blade Runner, part futuristic Dickens) replete with nonstop action, humor, and a spellbinding cast of characters.

Story
Fletcher Moon has never been like other kids. For one thing, he has had to suffer the humiliating nickname "Half Moon" because of his short stature. But the real reason Fletcher is different is that ever since he was a baby, he's had a nose for sniffing out mysteries. And let's just say, it's not a skill that has been appreciated by many people, including his own family.

Tony Stark is known throughout the world as many things: billionaire, inventor, Avenger. But mainly for being the invincible Iron Man. Just when Tony is about to add his pizzazz to an international eco-summit in Ireland, someone close to him forces him to question his role in making the world a more dangerous place with his high-tech weaponry. But Stark doesn't have much time to reflect before an old enemy presents him with an even greater challenge: the assassination of all the eco-ministers, and Iron Man himself.

In the days of yore, he flew the skies and scorched angry mobs - now he hides from swamp tour boats and rises only with the greatest reluctance from his La-Z-Boy recliner. Laying low in the bayou, this once-magnificent fire breather has been reduced to lighting Marlboros with nose sparks, swilling Absolut in a Flashdance T-shirt, and binging Netflix in a fishing shack. For centuries, he struck fear in hearts far and wide as Wyvern, Lord Highfire of the Highfire Eyrie - now he goes by Vern.

Awesome book! Love the world!
I love the writing style! The futuristic world is so cool! And all the main characters are interesting!
.
The only thing I would have to say I didn't like about this book, is that the villain was a bit weak. Also the end set up for a sequel. But there isn't... Eoin! Please make a sequel!!

A fantastic book from my childhood.
An exciting, dangerous, dystopian future. In a city designed to rule people by their occupation, rather than choice. Where corporations are the law, human experimentation is commonplace, and unless you have a sponsor you don't officially exist. Everything is run by computers all overseen by the Myishi satellite; but something is going wrong, strange creatures are being seen all over the city. claims of thrill-seekers rushing through gang wars and accidents, firing madly and leaving as quickly as they came. We begin in Clarissa Frane, an orphanage where the children are little more than lab rats. Following one Cosmo Hill, named for the place of his discovery. He has been "living" in Clarissa Frane over 13 years now, and has all but given up the dream of being adopted, and under the watch of the sadistic Marshall Redwood, a family seems naught but a far away dream. So for years now, he has watched, and waited for his chance to escape. ----------------
This was one of my favourite books when I was a child, and I am immensely satisfied that it has kept that title into my adulthood. The Supernaturalist has been lovingly read in this rendition by Chiwetel Ejiofor. His tone and pacing made the quiet and somber moments just as engaging as the tension-filled action scenes. My favourite scene in this audiobook is either the streets of Bushka or the HALO. Patza is officially the best street food ever. And i'm looking forward to the Z12 hitting the road in a few years.

Not as good as Artemis Fowl
If you love the Artemis Fowl books, you'll be a little disappointed. Colfer creates an interesting world - a near-future corporate and lawyer-dominated society, and describes it in good detail. The characters too are interesting and well written. The one weak point, in my opinion, is the invisible blue creatures that are forced on to center stage. After creating such a gritty urban world with tons of real problems, any one of which would be enough to motivate vigilantes to fight for justice, the addition of a fantasy-esque creature feels forced. After all, this is a place where orphans are used to test new products - till they die at a young age! Maybe this is a transition book for Colfer, from kids fairy books to a more "Blade Runner" adult world, and he will shake off the remnant fantasy creatures next time.

Strong and Loyal
This is the story of Cosmo Hill, an orphan with the will to survive. Cosmo knows that he only has a short time to escape before the "testing" that corporations use orphans to do, eventually kills him. Cosmo dreams of independence and a family, all the while living with hundreds of other orphans in an orphanage that feeds them government banned food byproducts. Then one day he gets his chance to escape and finds his life will never be the same... if he lives through it.

Great story, horrible Narrator
I was able to listen to about half of this book, before I gave up. The narrator's complete lack of intonation and its variance ruined the story for me (Imagine a repeated rythm...up, up, down, down, up, up, down, down...this is the the narrator's "reading style". It rather reminded me of droning calculus lectures from college-at least they had overheads!). I would highly recommend all of Colfer's works on audible with this one exception. Take a pass and "read" the book.
