    “18. What I enjoyed about this book was the adventure. I enjoyed all the escapes from harm and death its self. What I also enjoyed was all the technology introduced in the book. Like the lightning rod. It’s used for destroying parasites. There are also fuzz plates. It’s a type of armor used to keep their identification a mystery. And the best one is the extendable bridges. In order to work it you need gas. There was also TV birds, police like birds. I also enjoyed all the mysteries of the book. It kept me wanting to turn the page. During the book, you think you know who the bad guys are but then it takes a sudden turn and suddenly you’re confused. I also enjoyed all the imagery you can come up with. As you’re reading, you can come up with an imagination that will make you think that you’re actually there. I enjoyed how the book has great detail. The book can help you think of what the places look like. And lastly, I enjoyed the characters. Like I said before, you think you know who the bad guy is but then it takes a turn and you’re confused all of a sudden.


    24. I feel a lot of hope for the characters. Even though they lose one of their own, they still have hope. In fact the ending is about hope. Even though what they thought was bad turned out to be good, they still have a car which can help them in situations. Through out the book what the characters need is hope. It’s all they can do is hope until they get to where ever they need to. If the reader reads this, they will say “I hope...” for a lot of things. And the hope comes through their troubles and some how they manage to escape the troubles they face. For example, one of the troubles they faced was that the satellite was having difficulties and it tried to fit two apartments into one space. And the characters were hoping that the parasites were there so they could get rid of a few. They face many situations that are tough where hope comes through for them. It’s what they use besides their technology through out the whole story. There is nothing better in the story than hope. It could even be the moral of the story. In the book, hope is the strongest thing in the world. It’s the best weapon of all time, nothing else is better.

    29. How do I feel about the main character you ask? Well in the beginning I feel sad because he has no idea who his parents are. I also feel bad for him because at Clarrisa Frayne he has to die by adulthood. Later in the story, he loses Ziplock so you would feel bad for him. But I felt happy for him throughout the rest of the book. I felt happy when he survives the fall off the cliff. I also felt happy that he can learn so quickly. I felt happy that he saves some of the Supernaturalists in their adventures. Like one time the Myishi corp. brings assault tanks. Cosmo manages to disable on of them when Stefan was in danger. I feel happy when he escapes the vat machine using his head. Earlier in the book, Cosmo had a metal plate stuck in his head. They said he would be able to break through a brick wall if he used it. I feel happy when he goes on missions because he can have a chance for adventure. Like when he accompanies Mona to Booshka, and the race the parasites were there waiting for some disaster to strike.

    This book isn't even as close to as good as the Artemis series. I was rather disappointed. Even though I still thought it was ok. I just have Colfer built up a lot because of how much I love the Artemis series.
