Book Reviews of Rabbit at Rest
Book Review: A Fitting End to a Fine Series
Summary: 4 Stars
While reading "Rabbit at Rest" I repeatedly tried to imagine how this book would read had I not read its predecessors beforehand. Frankly, I don't think anyone can do this novel justice without reading the previous three novels first. Having done so, practically every sentence resonates with meaning as it recalls something from the first three books in the series. Without "Rabbit, Run", "Rabbit Redux" and "Rabbit is Rich" in your consciousness, "Rabbit at Rest" is little more than the story of a fat man dying. It's not the best of the four but it is the richest and fullest. This is not a book to pull off the shelf and dive into unprepared. Do yourself a favor, take a few weeks to devour the series one after another. By the time you get to this one, you'll want to search Updike out to convince him that Janice, Nelson and Pru are enough to sustain one more novel.
