Reviews with content warning for Death - Rabbits: A Novel

It was good, hooked me at the start. It was confusing and mysterious which made me way to read more. Then in the middle of the book there got to be some over done tropes of villains. I’m honestly still confused, but this does make me want to listen to the Rabbits podcast

Now one of my favorite books, likely of all time. With the easter eggs and patterns of Ready Player One, but the brutal reality of Dark Matter. Still with its own unique spin and ideas. Absolutely obsessed with this new take on this science fiction journey that made me question everything.

K, our main character, is playing a game called Rabbits... but you don't talk about it. Kind of like Fight Club. The first rule is don't talk about it. It is an alternate reality game. You use the reality around you to find patterns. Like the mandela affect, or easter eggs in media. The patterns intensify the deeper you get in the game and closer you are to winning. It is an underground, unknown, dark web, style game. Win the game and allegedly you get a life altering prize.

One day K is approached by a billionaire, Allan Scarpio, who allegedly won the 9th iteration of the game. He tells K that if they don't fix the game before the next iteration (11) begins, the world might end. Then Scarpio dissappears. Now K has to dollow the patterns, solve and win the game, stay alive, and save the world. All withiut knowing anything about the game, how to win, or who to trust.

This book was INTENSE! In the first 100 pages I just felt a little confused. Then all of a sudden it picked up, it all clicked and I couldn't put it down! I am blown away at how everything fit together and how great the flow, plot, and characters are. I hope there will be some special editions of this book. I NEED THEM ALL. I'm already planning by tattoo 😂🙌🏼🔥

Oh my GOD!! This book couldn’t be stopped from the first page. I was a fan of the podcast Rabbits, so when I saw this book, I thought ‘It can’t be’ and IT WAS. So engrossing, so riveting. You literally have no idea what’s going to happen. The technical stuff gets pretty in the weeds at times but man is it worth it.

This book was engaging and fast paced. The mystery surrounding the mysterious underground game and the discrepancies of the world was captivating until... There was far too much going on, the twists and turns began to make less and less sense, and the ending left you feeling incredibly confused. You had no idea what was real and what wasn't, if the whole conflict of the story was resolved, or anything. It didn't leave you confused in a good way. It's like the author decided to stop writing half way through, leaving a gazillion loose ends he didn't feel like addressing. Also, didn't feel like I knew the characters, was only there for the plot, which was good until it wasn't.

Having had listen to the podcast its based on as well as Miles' other shows, this went about the way I expected it would. The concept and themes/big picture of the book are really interesting but I found that the execution fell a bit short. I found the characters to be a bit underdeveloped and I found it was bogged down by far too many pop culture references. Also everyone was beyond insufferable and were all just slightly different virations on the same character.

K has been obsessed with the secretive game Rabbits for a while, but just a the 11th round of the game is beginning, K learns that the game is in trouble and needs to be fixed before the whole world is destroyed. I didn't realize this was a spin-off from a podcast when I picked it up, but while it probably would have made more sense with that context, I did think worked as a stand alone. The tension that the (possibly) multiverse elements created were super interesting and grabbed my attention, but a times those same elements led to the plot being super abrupt.
