Like All Sequels...........

Date of Review:  Mar 4, 2001
The Bottom Line: While a sequel is never as good as the first, Updike's imagery makes this a must read. Read "Rabbit, Run" first, you'll need the background.
Review: Rabbit Redux is not nearly the classic, "Rabbit, Run" was. John Updike, one of America's premier authors, gave me a taste of true literature in the first novel. I expected more in the second, and was a bit disappointed.

Harry "Rabbit"...

Rabbit's a Reactionary Racist

Date of Review:  May 22, 2003
The Bottom Line: The bottom line's just another of the billion c#nts here for Updike's (I mean Rabbit's) satisfaction.
Review: I m a sucker for slightly autobiographical novels written in a series. Charles Bukowski, Philip Roth, and Henry Miller (I m sure I m missing someone) I read with a certain voyeuristic glee. I can t say what it is about the memoirs disguised as...

Rabbit in a World of Cultural Dissidence

Date of Review:  Jun 29, 2004
The Bottom Line: An important book, and a definite read for anyone approaching Rabbit is Rich and Rabbit at Rest.
Review: At the center of John Updike's Rabbit books is singularly Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom. The novel revolves around him and does not condescend, pity, or cast a stern eye upon him for his various misconduct. Neither does it condone what he does. Rather,...

Rabbit gets his medicine

Date of Review:  Mar 8, 2007
The Bottom Line: This is a good book. I wouldn't recommend it to everybody, but if you like Updike and aren't easily offended, give it a shot.
Review: The sequel to Rabbit Run has Rabbit getting what he deserves. This time, his wife leaves him for a lover. The problem is that he doesn't care. Rabbit is so apathetic that, although everything bothers him, he does nothing about anything. This is a...
