I don't even know how to review this book. It was so interesting and addicting BUT you definitely have to be into it, otherwise it's just going to be super boring.
RABBITS was sort of like Blake Crouch's DARK MATTER / INCURSION meets READY PLAYER ONE. It's a technothriller, that dabbles back and forth between actually incorporating technology and just being mind-bending. The book follows K (who is really never gendered throughout the entire book... it seems a lot of reviewers seem to think K is male but the audiobook narrator is female. Then again, who really knows and it doesn't matter to the story anyway. But I think it's neat that the writing never actually identifies this and doesn't have to). K has a long history with the game Rabbits and in the past few years, has really started to look into it and maybe even play the game. It's hard to say when someone starts playing or not. Rabbits generally consists of following inconsistencies in the world, following connections, and really, going down the rabbit hole to keep following more and more. And that's where my ability to talk about this book ends.
This definitely felt Blake Crouch-y where I just read this, was wholly absorbed in it, and my mind was so curious about everything, but I'm not even sure 100% what happened... I did, but I didn't. Don't ask me to explain this book, because I can't, haha. The book just basically makes you question everything and wonder about reality in every way.
I don't even know what else to say about this... I just couldn't put it down and it was the perfect amount of messing with my head. It was just a *tad* long and once we got deeper down the rabbit hole, I was ready for the pace to pick up a little bit where things were sort of repeated a bit more. Nevertheless, this book totally had my attention and I'm happily surprised I was so swept away.
