Thought-provoking, well-written novel that centers on family and how life events can impact family.

This is a very thought provoking book and it is excellent for book club discussion. Patchett is a wonderful writer.

This is one of our clubs highest rated books so far. It was a great read and gave us much to discuss. I have gone on to pick up 3 more of Ann Patchett's books and can't wait to read them.

Run was read by our book club. And we really wasn't too thrilled about. We liked her first book bettwe Bel Canto. One person liked because it was a really good read with no conflicts. We also didn't think the book really got anywhere. It didn't really get into the characters.

I really liked this book. It took about 70 pages to get into it but soon I could not put it down.

Highly readable, so much to discuss. Was a perfect choice at inauguration time. Even though there were not questions at the end of the book we had no trouble coming up with things to dicuss. Everyone enjoyed the book tremendously. Would higly recommend to other clubs.

The story was neat, and as always, i love Patchett's characters, but this one was disappointing. There were too many characters, and so each one had only the surface scratched, and that is NOT what i want from Patchett. I want to ache when i read their stories (like "Magician's Assistant"). It should have been longer, or had less characters. It didn't do justice to their stories.

Patchett once again writes a clostrophobic novel set in a 24 hour span. The themes of race, religion, class,and family intertwine in an easy to read thought provoking novel.
