The Rabbit Club by Christopher J. Yates
4.0

“The Rabbit Club” is propulsive, and Yates sucked me into the world of Cockbayne College. There was a bit of a slow start, but even with my short attention span, I remained engaged and invested in Ali’s story.

At first, everything seemed a bit disconnected. What was the purpose of all these characters in Ali’s life, beyond companionship? By the end of the book, I understood all of the characters’ purpose except Guy and Izzy and their storyline. It seems dropped in for no clear reason.

Also, I am unsure about “The Rabbit Club” being a thriller. It feels more like a classic novel—psychological, dramatic, and introspective—very different from your typical thriller. Honestly, I can’t quite put my finger on why it is so different, just a feeling. Perhaps, it ends as a thriller but is mostly “regular” fiction (for lack of a better word).

“The Rabbit Club” was not what I expected, and sometimes that throws me for a loop. This time, I appreciated reading something unexpected, and I would recommend this book to others as well.
