Run by Ann Patchett
3.0
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I... don't know. I truly don't know.
Run is a story of a car accident in Boston that brings together the fates of a group of strangers (or are they?). The vast majority of the book takes place in a 24 hour period. It centers around the Doyle family - Doyle and his three sons, Sullivan, Tip and Teddy.
I guess: the good things were, the characters were interesting (but lacking depth), and I never found it painful or boring to continue the story.
The bad things were, this story feels like it has so much stuff that is inconceivable, unbelievable, and perhaps dated that the word that comes to mind when I want to describe this book is "cringe."
Part of the problem with this book was that race plays a substantial role in this story and I don't think it was handled all that well.
I just don't know. It had its moments. It had its strange moments. The ending was something. Do I regret reading it? No. Do I recommend reading it? No.
