How far would you go to save the girl you might just love?
With a combination of iproducts and humans, author Kevin
Brooks pulls off a wonderfully intense young adult/teen
thriller.
Tom Harvey's life changes all at once due to a falling
iPhone. The gangs where Tom lives are particularly
prevalent and cruel, Tom did not stand a chance against
them as a human...but he might be a force to reckon with as
an iBoy. When the iPhone hits his head, pieces become
embedded in his brain and his brain is irrevocably
changed. Tom finds himself waking up from a coma with
different abilities.
It doesn't take long for Tom to arrive at the conclusion
that he must take revenge on the gang that did this to him
and to his Lucy-the girl he really likes. The story takes
off from there.
Tom as a character is fun to read about. He is smart,
brave, and determined. He is a likable main character.
The secondary characters are different. Lucy is pitiable,
but she will be likable to the reader. Many of the gang
members will be hated or seriously disliked by the reader,
the author captures the animosity perfectly. This book is
fast-paced and exciting to read, highly recommended to
teen/young adult readers.
Sixteen-year-old Tom Harvey was an ordinary Londoner until
an attack that caused fragments of an iPhone to be embedded
in his brain, giving him incredible knowledge and power, but
using that power against the gang that attacked him and a
friend could have deadly consequences.
