Book Review

«Rabbit Is Rich» by John Updike is the third book in the series about Harry «Rabbit» Angstrom, continuing to explore the life of the main character, now in the role of a successful businessman. Critics note that Updike masterfully depicts the inner world of his character, showing his struggle with personal and moral dilemmas despite outward prosperity. The book addresses themes of material wealth, family relationships, and existential crisis. Updike's style, as always, is distinguished by rich language and attention to detail, allowing the reader to immerse themselves deeply in the atmosphere of the work. Some critics point out that while the novel is eventful, it can at times feel drawn out, but this does not diminish its literary value. «Rabbit Is Rich» won the Pulitzer Prize, attesting to the high recognition of its literary merits.
