“Magic
Bullets” by Keith Jahans is a very enjoyable, fast read. It’s like a
piece of pulp fiction meets a romance. It starts out with an action
sequence, and then flashes back to give you the back story of a growing
love relationship. I found it delightful for the realism of the
characters and the well-written conversations.
The author’s font choice adds to the uniqueness of the book. It’s easy
to read, but different enough that it gives the book a distinctive
feeling, as if you’re reading a manuscript. Again, the idea of pulp
fiction comes to mind.
Overall, it’s an incredibly interesting read. I almost read the entire
novel in one sitting. I was never sure where it was going. It’s a great
choice for anyone who’s into mysteries. I won’t give too much away, but
the book does keep you on edge waiting to hear more about what’s really
happening.

Magic Bullets
is a fascinating read about crime thriller specifically in the medical
department. The story shows that a researcher's life could be a
difficult one with little pay, threat of stealing of work, and also
conspiracy in the personal life. It makes life dangerous and
untrustworthy. Adam the protagonist had lived a difficult life as a
growing up person. He was an orphan who spent much of his time in foster
homes and orphanages, yet, his brilliant academic skills sees him
working as a researcher and getting the most beautiful girl on the
campus as his girlfriend. He is working on something big and his
girlfriend is assisting him in the research, but, unfortunately she
falls for another guy and takes away the formula with her- making this
new guy rich and successful. Adam, although embittered continues with
life, only to be thrust into another relationship, job, scope of big
money and unfathomable dangers which could destroy him as a person.
I found the story fascinating from the start, although not from the
first scene. The tale develops like a love story when Adam finds a
beautiful girl knocking at his door seeking help. Sandy was my favorite
character. She was beautiful, rebellious, bold, and possessed a strong
and musical voice. The flow of the story is natural and filled with
lengthy dialogues. I liked the author's subtle messages in humanity
which are placed throughout the book. The author endorses non-violence,
is in favor of showing his protest in numbers, displays restrains
through his protagonists and also discusses the government's policies on
arms and weapons. On the whole loved the book- even the darker parts.

First things
first: the story between Adam and Sandy was amazing. The author does an
amazing job of developing the characters to the point where you become
emotionally attached to each of them and their relationship together. It
seemed as though I never wanted any harm to come to them at any point.
The idea of there being a medicinal cure that we do not have in real
life is always very interesting to me. I like to see how the world plays
out and what type of decisions people think humanity will make. I will
have to admit this story made me very emotional toward the end. This
book was good and left me thinking far after I was done with it. A
recommendable book.
