Running Free

This is told in first person. It alternates between Frankie and Gunner's view point. It was easy to follow and the switch between characters was changed as new chapters began.

This had so much potential to be a great book, but it felt rushed. I love the grittiness of the way it was written. I plowed through the first couple of chapters, then it started to feel uncompleted. I felt it was lacking. There was not enough character developement, the setting needed to be better described. The way some parts were worded left me having to reread what I had already read in order to understand what it was meant to say.

I have read unpolished stories before they were finished. That is what this felt like. I feel that if this did go through another rewrite that it has the potential to be a four star read for me. There were parts of this book that were amazing. I want to give those parts a better rating, but the parts that felt lacking were too frequent to ignore.

Summary of my thoughts:

Needs more, and I will check out more by this author only because of those glimpses of amazingness (I made that word up!). I wish I could rate this in sections.
