Title: Don't Miss This One!
Review: "The Hit" is one of those books you just can't put down. Hoar doesn't give you time to get comfortable - he just pulls you right in and starts the motor! I couldn't turn the pages fast enough.I think that what gives this book its legs is that Jere Hoar is a kind of writer that doesn't come along very often. He doesn't just write the story -- he tells it to you. This book speaks to you as if Hoar were reading it to you himself. If you are familiar with his first collection of stories, "Body Parts", then you know what I'm talking about. (Another great, dark offering from Hoar, BTW)If you still need more encouragement to buy this book, take a look at his review and interview (the interview is fantastic!) at USA Today online from April 16, 2003. Every review I've read about this book is over the top. And, if John Grisham, who pumps out bestsellers and box office hits, "wishes" he wrote it himself? Wow.
