Book Review: Hit and Run

About a month ago, Bob Rich asked me to review his book, Hit and Run. After a very brief review of what type of book it was, I decided to review it. Very quickly into the book, I was both pleasantly surprised and hooked. While it is a fiction book, Rich weave a significant amount of psychology into it. There was also a touch of the supernatural. I really enjoyed the story and was eager to dive back into it every chance I could.

Hit and Run is 329 pages arranged across 36 chapters. The story is about a young teenager who intentionally killed a number of children. This was driven in a large part because of the environment that he grew up in. This naturally begs the question, are our actions because of nature or nurture? This is a prominent theme throughout the entire book. I thought it was masterfully weaved into the story.

One of the things that impressed me the most in the book was the use of dialogue. I was fascinated by how Rich used dialogue to tell the story while staying true to each of the characters. Each character had traits and background that influenced how they spoke. For example, the teenager at the center of the story underwent a transformation throughout the story and his dialogue changed. Through his dialogue, one could appreciate the change taking place.

Another part of the book that I was fascinated by was the use of supernatural powers. Rich used the power of telepathy or a variant as a way to keep the story moving. I will not go into more detail because I do not want to diminish the story for you but this ability was a key and useful part of the story. Certain characters developed an important bond because of this ability that helped with a character transformation.

Finally, I thought the ending was great. I will definitely leave that as a surprise. It will leave me wondering.

This was a fascinating story. If you like fiction and appreciate psychology and the supernatural, I would definitely recommend this book. Hit and Run is available as a Kindle book.
