Plugged

Short Review: This is Eoin Colfer's first adult book. And it feels a bit like he is trying to make up for having written young adult books for the rest of his career. There is a lot of swearing and violence in this books and some sex. But a lot of the adult content feels like filler more than really necessary to the plot. On the whole though the problem with the book is that the characters do not feel believable. The main guy is good. But why has he spent a decade working as a bouncer as a seedy club. The bad guys are pretty two demential. And in the end the twist made me feel like I had wasted my time with the book. I really like Colfer's Artemis Fowl series, but I think I will stick to his young adult books from now on.
