Fast-paced Genre Smoothie

Revisado: 09-24-15

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. Dawson’s writing style is fast paced and easy to understand, a plus for an action novel. There are elements of comedy and romance woven unobtrusively throughout. It’s a coming of age story. It’s a mystery. It’s an action adventure road trip thriller. It’s less genre blending and more genre smoothie making, but the result is quite tasty.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Hit?

The imagery of the first scene. "I will survive the next five days" is part of one of the best first lines that I've read in a while.

What does Rebekkah Ross bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She truly exemplified the character of Patsy, managing to pull off quirky-semi-sullen-but-mostly-cheerful teenage assassin. I look forward to hearing her (hopefully) read the next installment.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

A few of the scenes where Patsy does her collections. Don't want to give too much in the way of spoilers, but the treehouse was a good one.

Any additional comments?

A lot of folks claim Hit is dystopian. That’s the part I find the most interesting about this book. It’s not really dystopian, not in the traditional sense. One of the most unsettling things about this novel is how normal everything is for everyone else. It’s pre-dystopian. You, as the reader, get to see the birth of a dystopia, and that’s really freakin’ cool.
