The Memory of Running by Ron McLarty
1.0
The beginning was ok. The ending was ok. I guess this means I did not like the middle. It wasn't that important that the book wasn't about running. I've got to stop choosing books because they have the word running in the title. The running was a poorly explained metaphor.
This book was about a bike trip which I liked in theory, but not in practice.
I did not like this book because:
1. Its shift from past and present was jarring and sometimes confusing
2. I did not identify with the characters and therefore their words felt empty
3. It felt like therapy for the writer, but not complete therapy, not to a point of understanding
I only finished this out of a need to complete it.
