Jeff and George Review The Hangman’s Revolution by Eoin Colfer
George: WARP Book 2: The Hangman’s Revolution by Eoin Colfer was released this summer and I was thrilled to get my hands on it. The first book in the series, WARP: The Reluctant Assassin really impressed both of us and our review on Communicore Weekly discussed some of our favorite aspects of the book, including time travel. It really was an ingenious set-up for a new series and we both wondered how and when Colfer would take it in the future, so to speak.
