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...

The Bottom Line: Powerful view of being a middle-aged male in the early 1990 America. Updike's writing is phenomenal!

Professional Reviews
  Oates, Joyce Carol, New York Times Book Review: "'Rabbit at Rest' is certainly the most brooding, the most demanding, the most concentrated of John Updike's longer novels. Its courageous theme--the blossoming and fruition of the seed of death we all carry inside us--is struck in the first sentence....This early note, so emphatically struck, reverberates through the length of the novel and invests its domestic-crisis story with an unusual pathos."
