I wasn't sure what I would be getting when I ran across Running Stupid, but from the very first page I was hooked on this hilariously funny, thriller and suspense novel that manages to be a comedy and an action story in one. Morris Fenris has a talent for making you laugh, cry, gasp, tense and shiver in equal turns with a deft writing hand that never fails to bring out some kind of emotion from the reader.This was a well-written, vivid and thriller driven novel that kept me on the edge of my seat, bouncing from giggling like an idiot at the laugh-out-loud moments to biting my lip in suspense as Matthew Jester navigated a country that was pretty much out for his head. What I liked about the novel was that it didn't take itself too seriously... it's meant to be suspenseful but funny, action-filled but drama-rich, and well-plotted but fast-paced as well. From the silliness of Matthew's mad dash to find a safe haven to the startling crime thriller conclusion, Running Stupid is the kind of novel that keeps you guessing and eagerly flipping to the next page until the very end.
