Just like the podcast that this is related to, I really found the mystery of the alternate reality, game known as rabbits to be fascinating. I think that the mindbending reality and mystery at the center of the plot really comes across well in book form like it did with the audio.
I definitely was in the mood for a good mind bender. This was definitely strange, and the ending may not satisfy a ton of people, but it was really cool to see.

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

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.

This book has got to be one of the most mind-bending things that I have ever read.
It's hard to describe what it's about because there's so much to the entire story but I'll do my best.
It's about a man named K, who has been obsessed with a secret underground game that you're not allowed to talk about called Rabbitts. The game itself is mainly based on the following of discrepancies, solving one mystery after another until you win.
K is visited by a famous billionaire who was the supposed winner of the 6th iteration of the game who tells him that something is deeply wrong and he needs to fix it before the next iteration of the game starts. Except the game starts too quicker and players start to die and disappear before K can figure out what's wrong. You follow his confusing and massive journey to fix this problem.
While it's hard to describe the story itself it's also hard to say what the themes are. I would say it's a story of determination and willingness to try and save the world while everything falls apart.
The story itself is extremely captivating, it's confusing enough that you are just as confused as the main characters but able to follow. Mills has a way of writing that makes you feel disorientated just as the characters do.
The description of the setting and events is as mystifying as it is vivid. As things collapse you feel the pull, the danger and the fear. One thing I can say about this is that it certainly is not predictable.
The characters were complex and some likeable whereas others rightfully so we're not. I like how easily you can get into the headspace of K. I do think you're drawn into this book a lot more because of its plot than its characters.
The science in this book was somehow complicated yet digestible. I was able to get a good enough grasp of the science without getting too confused even though the topic itself is confusing.
I also enjoyed the many pop culture references, it was nice to we the little easter eggs or pick stuff out as the characters did. This is also why I enjoyed the chapter titles so much. I don't think any books chapter titles have given me as much joy as these have.
The only thing I did dislike was the ending. I cannot help but feel dissatisfied, with so many questions unanswered and things that seemed to happen without any build-up it fell flat for me.
Despite this, I love the idea of the game and am very ready to listen to the podcast as well.
