A review by breakfastgrey
Run: Book One by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin

3.0

It’s a shame that this ends right where it does because it takes about half the book to establish what the focus is. The first half is a bit muddled with names and events barraging readers with little context in the moment, but once the story settles in, it’s a fascinating read. While March ends on an optimistic note, this book drives home that there is no such thing as a happy or sad ending, just the spot you choose to stop telling the story.

I do have to mention the beautifully fleshed out backmatter. Nonfiction writers, take notice. This should be the standard. I would’ve liked to see some of it better incorporated into the text, though, which could have alleviated some of that first half confusion.
