Spiderman meets the Computer Wore Tennis Shoes. 16 year old Tom has fragments of an iphone embedded into his brain after a gang attack where his love interest, Lucy, is raped and her brother brutally beaten. With all the capabilities of the iphone virtually linked into his brain, Tom uses his powers for revenge and finds more than he bargained for. The book was...interesting? The concept was interesting. Pros Novel idea iPhone in your head? yes, please. Cons Cussing, lots and lots of cussing. Rape- it is portrayed as the horrible, awful crime that it is. But still. I don't want to read about it. For me the cons weighed out the pros, but I gave it three stars because the plot wasn't horrible. If I could I would probably only give two and a half stars though... The book was...interesting?

Adolescents tend to think they can rule their known world from anywhere with a phone signal: Kevin Brooks's gripping, streetwise and profound new science-fiction crime thriller for readers of 13 and above is about a boy who can do just that. After a blow on the head from a free-falling smartphone (possibly a more common fate than one might suspect), 16-year-old Tom recovers from surgery to find that enough of the device has stayed embedded in his brain to allow him to pluck electronic communications from the ether at will.

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.

FROM AMAZON:
What can he do with his new powers -- and what are they doing to him?
Before the attack, Tom Harvey was just an average teen. But a head-on collision with high technology has turned him into an actualized App. Fragments of a shattered iPhone are embedded in his brain. And they're having an extraordinary effect on his every thought.
Because now Tom knows, sees, and can do more than any normal boy ever could. But with his new powers comes a choice: To avenge Lucy, the girl he loves, will he hunt down the vicious gangsters who hurt her? Will he take the law into his own electric hands and exterminate them from the South London housing projects where, by fear and violence, they rule?
Not even his mental search engine can predict the shocking outcome of iBoy's actions. ( )
