I had a hard time with this book. The characters are unlikeable and the plot is depressing. The social commentary is interesting, but overall I didn’t enjoy it.
Ananya Katyayan –
While Updike is a great writer, I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I thought I would. The plot was slow and it was hard to connect to the characters. The writing was excellent as always!
Pillarisetty Vijaya Akshitha –
Updike’s prose is beautiful, but I struggled to connect with Rabbit. The story felt a bit aimless, and the characters weren’t always likable. Still, it’s a thought-provoking look at a troubled time.

I found “Rabbit Redux” to be a mixed bag. Some parts were fascinating, particularly the exploration of societal changes. Other sections dragged, and I lost interest. Worth a read, but not Updike’s best.

A brilliant portrayal of a man struggling with a changing world. Some of the language is dated, but the themes are still relevant today. The ending is particularly powerful.
Prasasth Peter Varigeti –
Absolutely stunning. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in American literature. Updike’s writing is phenomenal and the story is captivating from beginning to end.
Harsh Dipesh Doshi –
Updike’s prose is as beautiful as ever, but the story is quite bleak. Rabbit’s descent is hard to watch, but ultimately compelling. A powerful, if unsettling, read.
Yashwant Suman –
A powerful and disturbing novel. Updike doesn’t shy away from uncomfortable truths about race and class in America. The ending left me reeling. Highly recommended, but be prepared.
Ishan Srivastava –
I wanted to love this book, but it just didn’t quite click for me. The writing is excellent, but the characters felt distant and the plot meandered too much.
Nikhil Yadav –
Updike captures the turmoil of the late ‘s brilliantly. Rabbit’s struggles feel very real, even if he’s not always sympathetic. A challenging but rewarding read.
