# What is an Eoin Colfer?
He might be a great novelist but if that was the case then why resort to plagiarism?

# An Eoin Colfer
is an Irishman with a silly name who wrote books about a teenage criminal with a silly name. And plagiarism is a great gig if you're getting paid for it, I don't think I'd have turned it down knowing how many people would buy the book.

Which I strongly suspect I will, whether I actually want to or not.

# True,
Plagiarism and being paid for it is called "Licensing" I suppose.

# That's the one :)
And when it's Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson doing it it's called "Raping Frank Herbert's corpse until it squeaks"

# Eoin, n. a cherished piece of literature.
Colf, vb. to mangle, destroy or embarrass.

Mind you Mostly Harmless and The Salmon of Doubt were both a bit rubbish, so good luck to him, really.
