I hesitated to read Run because Patchett disappointed me so much with Bel Canto, I didn’t want to fall in love with a book only to have it come crashing down at the end…which is what happened with Bel Canto all of those years ago. Loved it, right up until the end and then hated it so much that I wound up hating the book. (I know, I’m one of the very few people who feels that way about Bel Canto. I’m odd, I’m used to that.)
Something else that made me nervous about Run… TW didn’t say one single word about it while reading it or after reading it.
Thank goodness. I wasn’t disappointed by the end. Wasn’t disappointed by any single word of it. Run. Was. Awesome. From the first page to the last page. I loved it.
