Couldn't really get into this book. All about a drug induced revolution. found I didn't care for any of the characters. Glad I won it on the early reviewers and didn't buy it. just didn't appeal to me at all. ( )

This was my first experience with an audio book. I was curios to try one to see if I would enjoy listening to books rather than reading them. While I have found I do prefer to read them, listening to them wasn't bad. I played it while doing chores or driving, but wasn't able to focus as much as I would have, had I been reading it.

That being said, I did enjoy the story line. I liked the idea, take a pill and get the best high of your life for a week. Only one catch... you die at the end of the week. For a kid feeling like he had nothing to lose, Adam didn't find this too bad of a deal. The book was good. I liked the different characters that Burgess introduced. I would definitely read other books by him. ( )

I would have loved to love this book, but it just didn't not grasp me in the right way. The concept could have been great (a pill that gives the ultimate high for a week and then you're dead) but I do not believe the author really utilized the concept in the best way possible. In fact, the story has two different plots that could have been two different stories and been truly given the attention they deserved. Instead, the reader's attention was divided between that of what this young boy Adam was going to do with his 1 week, and the revolution of Manchester.

I teetered between 2.5 stars and 3 stars because while I thought it was ok it also made you think a little at times. It also had some goofball villains which can be fun. In the end, I was just left feeling that The Hit fell short.

I...don't know. This was kind of forgettable, really. There's this drug where you have this amazing week where you can do anything, then you die. There are revolutionaries call Zealots who may or may not be associated with the drug. There is the main character's obsession with getting laid. There's his missing brother. It was entertaining enough, but it didn't leave much of an impression on me. ( )
