Fast and Fun submitted by drouhardte on June 17, 2012, 11:03am This was such a relief after my horrible experience with Henning Mankell's 'The Man from Beijing.' Colfer has a complete story here with all the connections - the ones you can see coming and quite a few that you can't. He's clever without being obnoxious, his protagonist is very witty (allowing us to hitch a ride with an otherwise probably difficult-to-associate-with character), and his imagination vivid. The noir here fits right into the story, allowing us to believe the unbelievable and root for the ethically questionable. A fun, fast-paced summer read that'll have you scratching your head a few times over.

A compelling read submitted by Jen Chapin-Smith on August 20, 2012, 1:48pm I enjoyed "Plugged," although the murder mystery is quite a departure from Eoin Colfer's usual fantasy/science fiction books. It's a compelling story with plot twists I would never have suspected and I really couldn't predict "who dunnit."
Parents, be forewarned that the book does discuss prostitution, violence and gambling.
