Book Reviews of The Memory of Running
Book Review: A Great Coming of Age Story--Wonderful!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ron McLarty's "The Memory of Running" is a must read. It keeps going back to this extremely over-weight man's childhood. At age 45, the man never married, and then his parents are killed in a car crash. A week later, he finds out that his only sibling, a sister, has died homeless in Los Angeles. The man then takes off on his bicycle to ride from New York to Los Angeles. He gives up drinking and smoking and starts eating right. It's a real page turner.
There's also his memory of a girl in a wheelchair who loves him.
You'll love this story!
