It was fine, not his best work.
Seemed at times like it was trying very hard to remind you it was An Adult Book Written For Adults which was a bit annoying and gave the opposite effect, really. I know Eoin can write adult books because I've read Plugged and that came across grand, but this had the vibe of a teenager trying to prove how grown up and mature they are by constantly mentioning their balls.
