Running in the Family by Michael Ondaatje

3.0

Another book I read for school. I loved the prose, but I didn't see the point in some of the stories and towards the end, I was just glad to be done (that may have something to do with the fact that I had to read it for school). I often found that certain stories I was very engaged and it was easy to keep flipping. At other moments, the writing felt a bit to abstract and incomprehensible and that was when reading felt like trudging through thick mud. It was also difficult to keep track of family members and I specifically remember one chapter that was dialogue (without punctuation) between probably him and another family member but it was so mixed and muddled I couldn't keep track or understand it much at all.
