Amazon.com: 5.0 out of 5 stars (2 customer reviews)

5.0 out of 5 stars Written in the year of my birth, Feb 11 2010
By L.K.Mackin "Tumbling Leaf Press - Smart Books... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rabbit, Run (Paperback)
My local library put out a reading challenge to read any book written in the year you were born. How strange to think that while my parents were expecting me, John Updike was writing this! I had not read Updike before and I was absolutely struck by the intensity and beauty of his prose.

This book is the story of an average guy who was a basketball star in high school and now sells vegetable peelers. He has a child and a pregnant wife. Feeling trapped, he tries to run away but can't quite take the big step. Instead, he ends up living with what must have been at that time called a 'loose woman'. Things tumble downhill for Rabbit, his wife, and his lover. Eventually, Rabbit returns to his wife but his troubles are far from over. In a mind-blowing climactic scene, the worst possible thing happens.

I will definitely be reading the rest of the books in the series. Poor Rabbit. It really isn't his fault, and yet, it all sort of is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting story, Dec 26 2008
By A. Antunez - Published on Amazon.com
This is a fascinating look at one character's life. I found myself reading it, then going away from the book, but always coming back. I like the fact the the main character is flawed and I could really relate to some of his angst. It's a long read, but I good one.
