  <default-description>In the future, in a place called Satellite City, fourteen-year-old Cosmo Hill enters the world, unwanted by his parents. He's sent to the Clarissa Frayne Institute for Parentally Challenged Boys, Freight class. 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's left of humanity in Satellite City. Or so they think. The Supernaturalist soon find themselves caught in a web far more complicated than they'd 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 non-stop action</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[It was really good. I noticed that there were a lot of similarities between this and Colfer's series Artemis Fowl, such as the use of the name Stefan Bashkir. There were a lot of things I didn't expect, and some things I accurately predicted myself. I think it would have been cool if the book spent ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43620513">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book reminded me of many SF stories from the pulp magazine era. And in this case, I'm using &quot;pulps&quot; in its pejorative sense.  The science was just made-up stuff, the plot aspired to a social commentary that it never reached (or hadn't when I gave up after 50% of the book), and the bas...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74975191">more...</a>]]></body>

For those that don't have parents in this world, they are grouped at one place and used as lab rats.

    <body><![CDATA[I like the Artemis Fowl series so much because of the charismatic characters.  This book's characters don't have that same charisma or interest for me.  It's an interesting look at a potential future of our planet, but a dreary place to spend you time.  As always, I love Colfer's ideas for new techn...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59770482">more...</a>]]></body>
