Thank you, you are so kind!

I don’t know why, but I could actually picture the final scene in Suddenly Last Summer when the boys descend on Sebastian (I think that was his name). That’s how feral I pictured Bridey and Jasper becoming. Anything to survive.

All told, I think we felt the same about this one. I really liked it, but not love.

Beautiful review, Catherine. I always love how poetic your writing is and have been looking forward to seeing what you did with this one.

I hadn’t thought about The Lord of the Flies or Suddenly, Last Summer in relationship to Running, but you’re right about it being a little like a combo of both.

I’ve read a couple of other reviews on this one and I still can’t seem to decide whether I’m interested! I love that you enjoyed all of the descriptive writing; that certainly is a plus, for me, and I’m interested in the setting. Thanks for the great review!
