Format:Hardcover
As a teenager I was a huge fan of Point Horrors. I devoured them. I'd get out ten from a library and read them all in a matter of weeks. They were the only things I read.
When I discovered there was a Point Horror on my shelf that I had neglected to read I picked it up and began. Hit and Run by R L Stine - reading this would be like returning to being a teenager again.
Hit and Run is about four friends who go out driving and knock over a man. It's a very simple story told with two dimensional characters and with little heart and passion.
I found this to be a disappointment. It was boring, unrealistic and just plain silly. I guessed the killer and motive from the first chapter and as I was reading it I kept thinking, surely the character is going to have to wake up to realise it is a dream because this is just dumb.
I contemplated my cynical attitude being because I was just a little too old for these kinds of novels but I don't think so. There are numerous faults with this novel and I would have picked on them as a young teen.
I have given this book two stars but it really only deserves one and a half. I would not recommend it. There are so many superior novels about than this one - including many written by this author, R L Stine.
Format:Paperback
Contrary to many people's opinions on Point Horror: Hit and run, I actually really enjoyed this story. I am a big fan of RL Stine and was excited to read this.
The story is about 4 teenage friends, Cassie, Winks, Scott and Eddie who are about to take their driving test. They decide to sneak out and practice their driving one night, and hit someone. Then strange things happen to them and one person even gets hit by a car in a hit and run. I had the wrong idea about who did it all the way through and I guarentee you will not guess but in the end everything makes perfect sense.

Eddie, Winks, Scott and Cassie are friends. Eddie is fearful of nature and is the target for jokes and pranks, especially from prankster Winks. One day the four friends went on a drive to get practice before Eddie is taking his driving test. They hit a man and he died. Scared they fled the scene. Eddie's cousin works at the morgue and he has stressing news: The body has disappeared. Then they receive threats and accidents start happening. Has their victim returned from the dead? Someone knows what happened that night...
Another great one from Stine. This one is sort of similar to I know what you did last summer. Great ending.
