The Hit by Allen Zadoff
3.0
The Hit/Boy Nobody may be over 300 pages, but it's written in such a way that it's possible to fly through it in under a day.
If you're looking for something packed with adrenaline, which you don't need to think too hard about, and you'd like a story where necks get snapped, stuff blows up, and people lie through their teeth, this is a good one to pick up.
While the characters are somewhat lacking and this story can't exactly be praised for its portrayal of women, it's not terrible and is worth reading if you need your fix of action and adventure, but don't have the time or concentration to focus on something a bit heftier. The chapters are short (I felt at times they were too short), and the sentences snappy.
I'd compare it to [b:I Hunt Killers|7766027|I Hunt Killers (Jasper Dent, #1)|Barry Lyga|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1333289403s/7766027.jpg|10644152], though this has much less plot going on. Again, that's not a bad thing. It all depends on what you like, and what you're in the mood for.
