Hit and Run

Read this thing!!

The setting of the book Hit and Run by Lurlene McDaniel is in Ashville, North Carolina. The book has 4 narrators, Analise, Jeremy, Quin, and Laurie. The protagonist in the story is Analise and the antagonists are Quin, Laurie, and Jeremy. The over-all mood in the book is suspenseful because you don’t know what is going to happen to Analise or if Laurie or Quin are going to confess, sad because Analise has been in the hospital for about 6 months and is not getting any better, and guilt because Laurie is blackmailing Quin into dating her for the popularity and they both know what they actually hit that night and if Laurie goes to the police she will get in trouble too. The theme is hopelessness because the people in the book are trying to find hope after a tragedy has happened. The plot summary is this girl was coming home from babysitting and got hit by a car. The highway clean up crew found her the next day and she was rushed to the hospital and was said to be in a coma and a few broken bones. She has to have brain surgery and is donating her hair. Laurie realizes that they hit Analise and not a deer. Laurie talks to Quin about the night they hit something and she manipulates him into dating her until he graduates so she doesn’t tell and mess up his chances of college scholarship. Analise's doctor says she has three months and she just wants to be free. The next day Laurie goes to the Hospital knowing they won’t let her in but tells the front desk that her name is Amy Cartwright, which is Analise’s best friend, so they let her in. Analise knows someone new was in her room when Laurie walked in. When Laurie walked in she broke down and Analise took it offensively. Laurie and her best friend are fighting, her mom is disappointed in her and her dad has left them; however, all she wants to do is disappear. Some major events are that Quin hits something on his way home from a party and Analise gets hit by a car and is in coma. Analise is in critical condition at the hospital. Laurie blackmails Quin into making her popular but that back fires on her and she feels guilty. The doctors say that Analise has 3 months to live. Also, Laurie fakes being sick so she doesn’t have to go to prom with Quin and she confesses to her mom about the accident. Laurie writes a letter with all the evidences about that night to Amy, the book editor for the school. The people get what they deserve for hiding a serious crime. In the book the high point is when Laurie blackmails Quin into dating her exclusively and when she comes face to face with Jeremy, Analise’s boyfriend, and has to decide who she really wants to be. Towards the end Laurie goes to rat Quin out to the police, and we are going to see if Analise is going to live.
I thought the book was very inspiring because how the girl, Laurie fessed up at the end no matter what was going to happen. The strengths of this book is how well it was written. I loved how descriptive it was when Analise was narrating about how she wanted to be free and just fly away. There were really no weaknesses of this book I found all of it very well worded. My overall reaction to this book was very interesting and it taught a good life lesson. I recommend this book to others because of how it keeps you interested and motivated to keep reading to find out what is going to happen to everybody.
In conclusion, you learn how one careless mistake can change your life forever. Also, you acknowledge how you should always own up to

I read this book at school. IT IS THE GREATEST BOOK! Jeremy's love for Analise is so strong. You should so read this book if you like love books or if like books that makes you went to read more. One more thing I thought Quin was a cheeter. So read the book so good.

Hi

I love this book!!! I read it a year ago and now I'm hooked on any books by this author. She's amazing!!

AWESOME

Who wants to read the best book ever. Its HIT AND RUN baby!

Best Ever :D

I have been putting this book off for awhile now. But I totally regret it, I wish I had read this book earlier. It is great. The summary on the back of the book actually did not really catch my eye. It was actually the picture on the front of the book. It seemed interesting and different from any other book I have ever read. When I read the first couple of chapters, I was definitely hooked. It is not a slow book at all, what so ever. It keeps you wanting to read more, and thats what it did to me. If you are the type of person that loves mystery and romance, this will definitely get you going. I am looking forward to reading another novel by Lurlene, hopefully it will be as good as this book.

Ok

Its not the best book she as write,but its worth the read and money.

OmG!

I read this book not long ago, and im telling you, the overview doesnt do it justice. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a really good quick read!!

Best Book Ever This is a Must Read!!

This was one of my favorite books. Everything about it was just amazing, the plot, characters, decsicions!! I loved everything. If you are looking for a book that is sure to interest alomst anyone i definitly recommend Hit and Run

Just at the right time..

This book hit me and touched me in a very strong and sincere way. I have a friend who is currently in the hospital in a coma because he was in a recent car crash. Whenever I read Annalise's parts in the book, I imagined it was like my friend. I had hoped that he too can hear those in his hospital room and is able to sense things and know who comes to see him. This book was an easy read and kept me reading because it was like watching tv because you got to view 4 different people like a drama tv show does. I found it to be decently realistic EXCEPT Annalise riding a bike in the first place. I mean I just can't see a teenager really riding a bike...maybe walking home would have more believeable...I don't know maybe it's just me and I live in KY and I don't see that too much...Overall though, It was a good book.

Hit and Run

This was an amazing book. It was definitely a page turner. Although it had a very sad ending that had tears welling in my eyes, it is still a book worth reading.

Great Read

Hit and run brings four different people together with just one incedent. It is told in four different point of views throughout the story and can really grasp you in. It is definantly one of the best books i have read in a while!

Hit and run

This book was an ok book. It's sorta sad how is ends. I think it's just another typical book.

Review.

I have to say, this book was interesting. One event can change a persons' life. This book is in the point of view of 4 other people. One tragedy, links 4 unexpected people in unbelievable ways. Check it out. ;]

Fantastic Read!

This book was interesting to read. I was unable to put this book down! The story has a sense of realism and I was able to relate to some of the characters. I recommend it for sixth grade and up.
