Summary: Eoin Colfer's best!!!
Comment: I have read all of Eoin Colfer's books (The Artemis Fowl ones and The Wish List) and I'll have to say that this is definately in the top two with the second Artemis Fowl book. I've been thinking about how to write what this book is about and I decided that what the front flap of the book said is the best thing. So read that and.... OK. Here's my thouhgts
It was written in the style of Eoin Colfer's other books with interesting characters and a witty sense of humor. It shows a world in the future (Satalite City to be exact) and it's a future world like never before. Its great! And it gripped me from start to finish. It was one of his best plots and ideas yet. It had twists and turns that kept the reader with their mouths open. And it had the same sort of rescue-every-thing-is-going-wrong kind of ending, just like the other books. And I thought the ending to this book was much more powerful than other of his other books.
If you've read any of his other books and liked them or not even read any of his books this is a must buy!!! And I loved the cover too. You should definately get it!!!

Summary: Please spend your money on this!
Comment: Okay, maybe it is just me, but I love Eoin Colfer. Artemis Fowl was cool, The Wish List was good too, but The Supernaturalist was GREAT!
Cosmo Hill is a great main character and its just keeps getrting better after the first chapter. Believe me, this is not a waste of time.
If Eoin Colfer keeps on writing, heck he could be the greatest author in American history. Artemis Fowl, GREAT, GREAT novel. Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident GREAT GREAT novel. Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code The best one yet, The Wish List, maybe if you are not a Catholic you won't like the whole religious thing, but hey I'm Hindu and I like it and The Supernaturalist is a great book too!
Sequels would be awesome to this book, even though it sets up to one, but hey I'm glad it did. Its climax is not poor and it has great exposition about Satelite City, and everything is just great!
Please buy this book, listen to me from a TRUE Eoin Colfer fan, get this book it is not a waste of time.

Summary: Please do not waste your money on this
Comment: (...) it seems as if it consists of nothing but recycled cliches and overly melodramatic heroics.
I was lucky enough to read the first chapter of The Supernaturalist at Hyperion's website and was left breathless at the last word; I had to buy the book the first day it came out. Disappointingly, most everything after that first chapter did not impress me. While the critics may tell you of the book's many 'unexepected plot twists' they become tiresome and predictible, and actually made me want to put the book down. I would recommend borrowing the book from the library or a friend instead.
While Colfer's wonderfully unique dialogue and absurd, Odyssey-like meanderings through the supernatural usually enrich his books, they can do nothing to support the abysmal structure of his latest. I noticed several typo errors that should have been caught by a careful editor; it seems as if the book was tossed out as fast as possible in order to rake in more money, neglecting time for Colfer's story to develop on a deeper level.
I would have given this book three stars, if it were not for its climax. The Supernaturalist's climax (don't worry there are no spoilers)can be essentially divided into two parts: the first, the ultimate deux es machina, and the second seemingly put in as an excuse for a sequel to be written. And what do sequels equal?
Exactly.
