Eulogy for Rabbit

Date of Review:  Jan 22, 2000
Review: Rabbit at Rest
Fourth in a series preceded by Rabbit, Run, Rabbit Redux and Rabbit is Rich.

In this, the last in a series of four novels starring Harry or "Rabbit" Angstrom, John Updike follows the character as he fades into middle and...

Kil de Wabbit: John Updike's finest hour.

Date of Review:  Jan 19, 2006
The Bottom Line: Updike's finest novel.
Review: Out of what many American literature enthusiasts call the big 4(Saul Bellow, Phillip Roth, Norman Mailer, and John Updike), it is Updike who is the most underrated, as well as the most likeable. Granted he has his flaws: few writers as gifted has...

Hasenpfeffer

Date of Review:  Oct 12, 2001
The Bottom Line: Powerful view of being a middle-aged male in the early 1990 America. Updike's writing is phenomenal!
Review: "Rabbit at Rest" is the fourth and final novel of the "Rabbit" series written by a master, John Updike. While one should read all four of the Rabbit novels to follow the plot of Harold "Rabbit" Angstrom's life, you can get by reading only one of the...

The Fourth and Final Rabbit Novel.

Date of Review:  Jul 6, 2004
The Bottom Line: If one wishes to approach the works of John Updike, his Rabbit books are essential. This final novel is one of his best.
Review: Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom is in his fifties, an aging baby boomer nearing the end of his days, as Rabbit At Rest begins, and as the final decade before the next century rolls over, he is living the good life. With not only his house in Pennsylvania,...

This Series is a Monument of American Literature

Date of Review:  Oct 3, 1999
Review: You've got to read the first three books in the Rabbit series for this one to properly impact you. John Updike really gets you to feel like you've lived an American family's tragically lackluster life, and as it comes to an end in Rabbit at Rest,...

I wish Rabbit didn't die.

Date of Review:  Jan 25, 2000
Review: I read all four books in this series, so I guess I have an affinity for Rabbit and that's why I wish John Updike hadn't killed him off. The Rabbit series covers the period of a man's life between the 1950's to the 1990's. Rabbit was Joe Everyman, a...
