The Supernaturalist, Eoin Colfer. Cycle 21 Reading Response, 63-78

Summary:
I read pages 63-78 The Supernatrualists exited to the top of the roof using the elevator. They used bridges that could retract from special kits they carried to get from roof-top to roof top, till they reached their destination. Their destination was the apartments that crashed into each other when they were being moved. Cosmo could see the parasites swarming in the direction of the apartments. When they reached the appartments they used their bridges to get into one of the buildings. They entered the building, Stefan and Mona were blasting parasites with great accuracy. Cosmo was just following he didn’t really shoot any, because he was thinking about how they were living things, but then Stefan reminded him what they did and how they sucked the lives of the so many victims. Ditto didn’t shoot any because he was a pacifist, so instead he would go around healing the injured. Lawyers started to storm the building. Lawyers instead of working in court room and such, they work in the field capturing anyone that tries to leave the scene of crime. The lawyers chased after the group, but they made it away safely.

Virulent-bitterly hostile
Forestall-prevent or obstruct an anticipated event or action by taking action ahead of time

One thing I don’t really like about the book is how in a way it kind of rushes through things too fast. It seems like it doesn’t give you as much scenery detail as you would want. I feel like things and events are happening too quickly. In a way I wish it would maybe slowdown and go into more details with certain events. I think the author made it like this to show how Cosmo’s life if rapidly changing and all these events are happening so quickly to him.
