Read all items of DynamoDB table

I want to read all items of a DynamoDb table. I am using the table.scan() function. It is giving me the response. But, the output is arranged in a haphazard way. I am supposed to get output like this - 

{
"Items": [
{
  "Name": "ABC",
  "Location": "sdkjc",
  "id": "abc"
},

{
  "Name": "DEF",
  "Location": "jfyef",
  "id": "def"
}
]
}

But I am getting - 

{
"Items": [
{
  "Name": "ABC",
  },
  {
  "Location": "sdkjc",
  "id": "abc"
  },

  {
  "Name": "DEF",
  "Location": "jfyef",
  },
  {
  "id": "def"
}
]
}

Code - 

 import boto3
 dynamodb = boto3.resource("dynamodb")
 table = dynamodb.Table(event['tableName'])
 response = table.scan()
 print (response)

There is no pattern in the output. What can be the issue?

try something like

def read():
    dynamodb = boto3.resource('dynamodb', region_name='us-west-2')
    table = dynamodb.Table("test")
    items = table.scan()['Items']
    for item in items:
        print (item)
