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.

Récit efficace qui aborde la distinction ténue entre recherche de la justice et vengeance personnelle à travers une approche renouvelée de la thématique des superpouvoirs. Le récit est ancré dans la réalité contemporaine et aborde avec une audace et un réalisme qui pourront gêner certains lecteurs quelques-uns des aspects les plus sombres de la réalité contemporaine: viol, gangs de rue, trafic de drogues, violence urbaine. [SDM]
Ton Harvey, adolescent londonien de seize ans, voit sa vie transformée lorsque la chute d'un IPhone l'assome et que des morceaux s'incrustent dans son cerveau. Dès lors, il peut intercepter les communications internet ou téléphoniques, dispose d'une armure magnétique et peut se défendre à l'aide d'électrochocs. Lorsqu'une amie et son frère sont victimes d'une violente agression de la part d'un gang de rues, il décide de mettre ses nouveaux pouvoirs au service de la justice.

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. ( )
