Review of Run, Brother, Run by David Berg

This book seemed to receive mixed reviews from our group. Though, overall mostly everyone really liked it. Some members of the group felt the trail descriptions that didn’t relate to Alan’s murder were unnecessary. Other members really enjoyed the chapters about David Berg’s trials he had, and felt it was interesting.

What we liked:
-        We all found Dot to be a relatable person compared to all the others in the book.
-        We enjoyed reading a book about the area we lived in. A lot of us recognized some of the places David Berg mentions.
-        We found it interesting to get a glimpse into how David Berg feels about Woody Harrelson.
-        We liked reading about the trials David Berg had in the beginning of his career.  

What we didn’t like:
-        We didn’t like how so many people were introduced into the story. It made it difficult to remember who was who.
-        We didn’t like how Alan’s wife didn’t have a big role in the book or when her husband was murdered.
-        We didn’t care reading about the trials David Berg had in the beginning of his career, it would have been okay to skip that chapter and still understand the book.
