Buch Details
"Great writers can write anything, and Plugged is proof. Its author is Eoin (pronounced "Owen") Colfer, a name you might recognize because he wrote the best- selling "Artemis Fowl" books for young adults, as well as a sequel to Douglas Adams's "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." Taken together, those books feature fairies, unemployed gods, a boy genius, a green alien and a galactic president, which means it's not easy to categorize Colfer or his writing. That's a good thing. Because now he's produced a bang-up crime novel for adults. This might lead you to think you're in Elmore Leonard, Carl Hiaasen or even Damon Runyon country, but you're not. Although there are echoes of all three writers in Plugged, Colfer's novel is dominated, driven and fully animated by a refreshingly original voice . . . Colfer has the deftest of touches, so he underplays them at every opportunity, which makes the reader care all the more. Plugged packs a powerful dramatic wallop for such a slim volume, like a flyweight with a knockout punch. And Daniel McEvoy becomes a knight errant in a sensitively wrought study of the effects of war on the human soul. As I said, great writing." - Lisa Scottoline, The Washington Post
