iBoy by Kevin Brooks
4.0
a really gritty teen novel which is hard to come by. much darker than the hunger games or divergent series. The character Tom really struggles with his life as with his new 'affliction' he sees what really goes on, and has been going on for years, behind closed doors in crow town.
A refreshing book after the onslaught of dystopian I've been reading.
The premise is a normal boy who, because of an unfortunate accident involving an iPhone and an assault, turns abnormal. This new person gets an up close look at the heinous crimes being commit everyday in south London. Tom is awkward and at times funny or witty making him a lovable and relatable character, despite his actions and the actions of those around him.
A particular quirk of this book is how the chapters are numbered, and the quotes at the beginning of each one, adding some depth meaning and insight.
