Reads like poetry. Updike is amazing.
Book #1 in Updike's Rabbit trilogy. Books 2 and 3 were awarded the Pulitzer prize for Fiction.

Sometimes you read a book and you think "well, the writing is fine, but I do not know why people think so much about this book" when you come to a section which grabs you up and shakes you and you realize why. This is one of those books.

Rabbit, Run is a finely textured, poetic story about a man trapped in his life. Updike's style is beautiful and the book is a joy to read. Rabbit's story is absorbing and crushing in its emotional weight. This is wonderful, personal American literature.
