iBoy by Kevin Brooks

Before the attack, sixteen year old Tom Harvey was just an ordinary boy.
But now fragments of a shattered iPhone are embedded in his brain and it's having an extraordinary effect.......
Because now Tom has powers. The ability to know and see more than he could imagine. And with incredible power comes knowledge and a choice. Seek revenge on the violent gangs that rule his estate and assaulted his friend Lucy, or keep quite?
Tom has control when everything else is out of control. But, its a dangerous price to pay. And the consequences are terrifying.....

This is another book I finished in a span of four to five hours. It wasn't big. Just around 300 pages. And, it was good. It was enthralling. I mean, its too good! All this mobile fragments getting embedded in this guy's brain and then the amount of information he gets. The way he uses it. The way he gets out the rage Lucy was feeling on her assaulters. The rage HE feels against them for spoiling his best friends life. And, after reading about their bonding. Their friendship, I feel a kind of respect for friends like those two. Lucy shares everything she isn't able to share with her mum, she shares it all with Tom. Agreed, they are childhood friends, but as you grow up, differences do come in between. But, their friendship defines the phrase best friends forever. Reading about such friendships, even I had started to wish for a friend like that. But, I know I'll have to wait for some time. Anyways, you have to read this book! It does get confusing, but still. READ IT! Because, when you come to the middle of the book, you don't feel like leaving it. Trust me, its worth the wait. Go read it people, and take your imagination in a totally different direction.
